Buildbot no longer supports Python 2, as support was dropped upstream in
|
|
version 2.0.0. Configurations may need to be modified to make them

compatible with Python 3.

PostgreSQL now uses
|
|
<filename class="directory">/run/postgresql</filename> as its socket
|
|
directory instead of <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>. So
|
|
if you run an application like eg. Nextcloud, where you need to use
|
|
the Unix socket path as the database host name, you need to change it
|
|
accordingly.

The options <option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.user</option> and
|
|
<option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.group</option> have been removed
|
|
because the alertmanager service is now using systemd's <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html">
|
|
DynamicUser mechanism</link> which obviates these options.

The NetworkManager systemd unit was renamed back from network-manager.service to
|
|
NetworkManager.service for better compatibility with other applications expecting this name.
|
|
The same applies to ModemManager where modem-manager.service is now called ModemManager.service again.

The <option>services.nzbget.configFile</option> and <option>services.nzbget.openFirewall</option>
|
|
options were removed as they are managed internally by the nzbget. The
|
|
<option>services.nzbget.dataDir</option> option hadn't actually been used by
|
|
the module for some time and so was removed as cleanup.

The <option>services.mysql.pidDir</option> option was removed, as it was only used by the wordpress
|
|
apache-httpd service to wait for mysql to have started up.
|
|
This can be accomplished by either describing a dependency on mysql.service (preferred)
|
|
or waiting for the (hardcoded) <filename>/run/mysqld/mysql.sock</filename> file to appear.

IPv6 Privacy Extensions are now enabled by default for undeclared
|
|
interfaces. The previous behaviour was quite misleading — even though
|
|
the default value for
|
|
<option>networking.interfaces.*.preferTempAddress</option> was
|
|
<literal>true</literal>, undeclared interfaces would not prefer temporary
|
|
addresses. Now, interfaces not mentioned in the config will prefer
|
|
temporary addresses. EUI64 addresses can still be set as preferred by
|
|
explicitly setting the option to <literal>false</literal> for the
|
|
interface in question.

The <option>documentation</option> module gained an option named

<option>documentation.nixos.includeAllModules</option> which makes the

generated <citerefentry>

<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> manual page include all options
|
|
from all NixOS modules included in a given
|
|
<literal>configuration.nix</literal> configuration file. Currently, it is
|
|
set to <literal>false</literal> by default as enabling it frequently
|
|
prevents evaluation. But the plan is to eventually have it set to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> by default. Please set it to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> now in your <literal>configuration.nix</literal>
|
|
and fix all the bugs it uncovers.

The <literal>vlc</literal> package gained support for Chromecast

|
streaming, enabled by default. TCP port 8010 must be open for it to work,
|
|
so something like <literal>networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8010
|
|
];</literal> may be required in your configuration. Also consider enabling

The <literal>mysql</literal> service now runs as <literal>mysql</literal>

user. Previously, systemd did execute it as root, and mysql dropped privileges
|
|
itself.
|
|
This includes <literal>ExecStartPre=</literal> and
|
|
<literal>ExecStartPost=</literal> phases.
|
|
To accomplish that, runtime and data directory setup was delegated to
|
|
RuntimeDirectory and tmpfiles.
