For users of NixOS 18.03 and 19.03, NixOS defaults to Nix 2.0, but

supports using Nix 1.11 by setting <literal>nix.package =

The <literal>nscd</literal> service now disables all caching of
|
|
<literal>passwd</literal> and <literal>group</literal> databases by
|
|
default. This was interferring with the correct functioning of the
|
|
<literal>libnss_systemd.so</literal> module which is used by
|
|
<literal>systemd</literal> to manage uids and usernames in the presence of
|
|
<literal>DynamicUser=</literal> in systemd services. This was already the
|
|
default behaviour in presence of <literal>services.sssd.enable =
|
|
true</literal> because nscd caching would interfere with
|
|
<literal>sssd</literal> in unpredictable ways as well. Because we're
|
|
using nscd not for caching, but for convincing glibc to find NSS modules
|
|
in the nix store instead of an absolute path, we have decided to disable
|
|
caching globally now, as it's usually not the behaviour the user wants and
|
|
can lead to surprising behaviour. Furthermore, negative caching of host
|
|
lookups is also disabled now by default. This should fix the issue of dns
|
|
lookups failing in the presence of an unreliable network.

If the old behaviour is desired, this can be restored by setting

GitLab Shell previously used the nix store paths for the

<literal>gitlab-shell</literal> command in its
|
|
<literal>authorized_keys</literal> file, which might stop working after
|
|
garbage collection. To circumvent that, we regenerated that file on each

|
startup. As <literal>gitlab-shell</literal> has now been changed to use
|
|
<literal>/var/run/current-system/sw/bin/gitlab-shell</literal>, this is
|
|
not necessary anymore, but there might be leftover lines with a nix store
|
|
path. Regenerate the <literal>authorized_keys</literal> file via
|
|
<command>sudo -u git -H gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:setup</command> in that

case.

The LDAP and SSSD NixOS modules already add their NSS modules when

previosuly shadowed, or failing NSS lookups, please file a bug. You can

minor downtime while the DNS-addon terminates and re-initializes.

Also note that the DNS-service now runs with 2 pod replicas by default.
