- `security.acme.defaults` has been added to simplify configuring
settings for many certificates at once. This also opens up the
the option to use DNS-01 validation when using `enableACME` on
web server virtual hosts (e.g. `services.nginx.virtualHosts.*.enableACME`).
2021-11-25 21:38:19 +01:00
- PHP 8.1 is now available
2022-01-17 06:32:55 +01:00
- Mattermost has been updated to extended support release 6.3, as the previously packaged extended support release 5.37 is [reaching its end of life](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/extended-support-release.html).
Migrations may take a while, see the [changelog](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/self-managed-changelog.html#release-v6-3-extended-support-release)

## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-22.05-incompatibilities}
- `pkgs.ghc` now refers to `pkgs.targetPackages.haskellPackages.ghc`.
This _only_ makes a difference if you are cross-compiling and will
ensure that `pkgs.ghc` always runs on the host platform and compiles
for the target platform (similar to `pkgs.gcc` for example).
`haskellPackages.ghc` still behaves as before, running on the build
platform and compiling for the host platform (similar to `stdenv.cc`).
This means you don't have to adjust your derivations if you use
`haskellPackages.callPackage`, but when using `pkgs.callPackage` and
taking `ghc` as an input, you should now use `buildPackages.ghc`
instead to ensure cross compilation keeps working (or switch to
`haskellPackages.callPackage`).
- `pkgs.ghc.withPackages` as well as `haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages` etc.
now needs be overridden directly, as opposed to overriding the result of
calling it. Additionally, the `withLLVM` parameter has been renamed to
`useLLVM`. So instead of `(ghc.withPackages (p: [])).override { withLLVM = true; }`,
one needs to use `(ghc.withPackages.override { useLLVM = true; }) (p: [])`.
- `pkgs.emacsPackages.orgPackages` is removed because org elpa is deprecated.
The packages in the top level of `pkgs.emacsPackages`, such as org and
org-contrib, refer to the ones in `pkgs.emacsPackages.elpaPackages` and
`pkgs.emacsPackages.nongnuPackages` where the new versions will release.
2021-12-14 02:03:48 +01:00
- `services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard` was removed due to it being an outdated version.
- The DHCP server (`services.dhcpd4`, `services.dhcpd6`) has been hardened.
The service is now using the systemd's `DynamicUser` mechanism to run as an unprivileged dynamically-allocated user with limited capabilities.
The dhcpd state files are now always stored in `/var/lib/dhcpd{4,6}` and the `services.dhcpd4.stateDir` and `service.dhcpd6.stateDir` options have been removed.
If you were depending on root privileges or set{uid,gid,cap} binaries in dhcpd shell hooks, you may give dhcpd more capabilities with e.g. `systemd.services.dhcpd6.serviceConfig.AmbientCapabilities`.
- The `mailpile` email webclient (`services.mailpile`) has been removed due to its reliance on python2.
- The MoinMoin wiki engine (`services.moinmoin`) has been removed, because Python 2 is being retired from nixpkgs.
- The `wafHook` hook now honors `NIX_BUILD_CORES` when `enableParallelBuilding` is not set explicitly. Packages can restore the old behaviour by setting `enableParallelBuilding=false`.
- `pkgs.claws-mail-gtk2`, representing Claws Mail's older release version three, was removed in order to get rid of Python 2.
Please switch to `claws-mail`, which is Claws Mail's latest release based on GTK+3 and Python 3.
2021-12-11 14:02:38 +01:00
- The `writers.writePython2` and corresponding `writers.writePython2Bin` convenience functions to create executable Python 2 scripts in the store were removed in preparation of removal of the Python 2 interpreter.
Scripts have to be converted to Python 3 for use with `writers.writePython3` or `writers.writePyPy2` needs to be used.
2021-12-10 22:03:06 +01:00
- `buildGoModule` was updated to use `go_1_17`, third party derivations that specify >= go 1.17 in the main `go.mod` will need to regenerate their `vendorSha256` hash.
- The `gnome-passwordsafe` package updated to [version 6.x](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/secrets/-/tags/6.0) and renamed to `gnome-secrets`.
2021-12-19 14:16:58 +01:00
- If you previously used `/etc/docker/daemon.json`, you need to incorporate the changes into the new option `virtualisation.docker.daemon.settings`.
- The backward compatibility in `services.wordpress` to configure sites with
the old interface has been removed. Please use `services.wordpress.sites`
instead.
- The backward compatibility in `services.dokuwiki` to configure sites with the
old interface has been removed. Please use `services.dokuwiki.sites` instead.
- opensmtpd-extras is no longer build with python2 scripting support due to python2 deprecation in nixpkgs
- The `autorestic` package has been upgraded from 1.3.0 to 1.5.0 which introduces breaking changes in config file, check [their migration guide](https://autorestic.vercel.app/migration/1.4_1.5) for more details.
- For `pkgs.python3.pkgs.ipython`, its direct dependency `pkgs.python3.pkgs.matplotlib-inline`
(which is really an adapter to integrate matplotlib in ipython if it is installed) does
not depend on `pkgs.python3.pkgs.matplotlib` anymore.
This is closer to a non-Nix install of ipython.
This has the added benefit to reduce the closure size of `ipython` from ~400MB to ~160MB
(including ~100MB for python itself).
- `documentation.man` has been refactored to support choosing a man implementation other than GNU's `man-db`. For this, `documentation.man.manualPages` has been renamed to `documentation.man.man-db.manualPages`. If you want to use the new alternative man implementation `mandoc`, add `documentation.man = { enable = true; man-db.enable = false; mandoc.enable = true; }` to your configuration.
- Normal users (with `isNormalUser = true`) which have non-empty `subUidRanges` or `subGidRanges` set no longer have additional implicit ranges allocated. To enable automatic allocation back set `autoSubUidGidRange = true`.
- `idris2` now requires `--package` when using packages `contrib` and `network`, while previously these idris2 packages were automatically loaded.
- The iputils package, which is installed by default, no longer provides the
legacy tools `tftpd` and `traceroute6`. More tools (`ninfod`, `rarpd`, and
`rdisc`) are going to be removed in the next release. See
[upstream's release notes](https://github.com/iputils/iputils/releases/tag/20211215)
for more details and available replacements.
- `services.thelounge.private` was removed in favor of `services.thelounge.public`, to follow with upstream changes.
2022-01-12 13:04:44 +01:00
- `pkgs.docbookrx` was removed since it's unmaintained
- `tilp2` was removed together with its module
- The options `networking.interfaces.<name>.ipv4.routes` and `networking.interfaces.<name>.ipv6.routes` are no longer ignored when using networkd instead of the default scripted network backend by setting `networking.useNetworkd` to `true`.
2022-01-11 02:34:44 +01:00
- MultiMC has been replaced with the fork PolyMC due to upstream developers being hostile to 3rd party package maintainers. PolyMC removes all MultiMC branding and is aimed at providing proper 3rd party packages like the one contained in Nixpkgs. This change affects the data folder where game instances and other save and configuration files are stored. Users with existing installations should rename `~/.local/share/multimc` to `~/.local/share/polymc`. The main config file's path has also moved from `~/.local/share/multimc/multimc.cfg` to `~/.local/share/polymc/polymc.cfg`.
- The terraform 0.12 compatibility has been removed and the `terraform.withPlugins` and `terraform-providers.mkProvider` implementations simplified. Providers now need to be stored under
`$out/libexec/terraform-providers/<registry>/<owner>/<name>/<version>/<os>_<arch>/terraform-provider-<name>_v<version>` (which mkProvider does).
This breaks back-compat so it's not possible to mix-and-match with previous versions of nixpkgs. In exchange, it now becomes possible to use the providers from [nixpkgs-terraform-providers-bin](https://github.com/numtide/nixpkgs-terraform-providers-bin) directly.
- The existing `pkgs.opentelemetry-collector` has been moved to
`pkgs.opentelemetry-collector-contrib` to match the actual source being the
"contrib" edition. `pkgs.opentelemetry-collector` is now the actual core
release of opentelemetry-collector. If you use the community contributions
you should change the package you refer to. If you don't need them update your
commands from `otelcontribcol` to `otelcorecol` and enjoy a 7x smaller binary.
- `pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk` is now deprecated in favor of `pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk-sans`
and `pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk-serif` because they each have different release
schedules. To maintain compatibility with prior releases of Nixpkgs,
`pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk` is currently an alias of `pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk-sans` and
doesn't include serif fonts.
nixos/switch-to-configuration: Proper unit file parser This replaces the naive K=V unit parser with a proper INI parser from a library and adds proper support for override files. Also adds a bunch of comments about parsing, I hope this makes it easier to understand and maintain in the future. There are multiple reasons to do so, the first one is just general correctness with is nice imo. But to get to more serious reasons (I didn't put in all that effort for nothing) is that this is the first step torwards more clever restart/reload handling. By using a library like Data::Compare a future PR could replace the current way of fingerprinting units (which is to compare store paths) by comparing the hashes. This is more precise because units won't get restarted because the order of the options change, comments are added, some dependency of writeText changes, .... Also this allows us to add a feature like `X-Reload-Triggers` so the unit can either be reloaded when these change or restarted when everything else changes, giving module authors the ability to have their services reloaded without having to fear that updates are not applied because the service doesn't get restarted. Another reason why this feature is nice is that now that the unit files are parsed correctly (and values are just extracted from one section), potential future rewrites can just rely on some INI library without having to implement their own weird parser that is compatible with this script. This also comes with a new subroutine to handle systemd booleans because I thought the current way of handling it was just ugly. This also allows overriding values this script reads in an override file. Apart from making this script more compatible with the world around it, this also fixes two issues I saw bugging exactly 0 (zero) people. First is that this script now supports multiple override files, also ones that are not called override.conf and the second one is that `1` and `on` are treated as bools by systemd but were previously not parsed as such by switch-to-configuration.
2022-01-05 12:59:47 +01:00
- `switch-to-configuration` (the script that is run when running `nixos-rebuild switch` for example) has been reworked
* The interface that allows activation scripts to restart units has been streamlined. Restarting and reloading is now done by a single file `/run/nixos/activation-restart-list` that honors `restartIfChanged` and `reloadIfChanged` of the units.
* The script now uses a proper ini-file parser to parse systemd units. Some values are now only searched in one section instead of in the entire unit. This is only relevant for units that don't use the NixOS systemd moule.
* `RefuseManualStop`, `X-OnlyManualStart`, `X-StopOnRemoval`, `X-StopOnReconfiguration` are only searched in the `[Unit]` section
* `X-ReloadIfChanged`, `X-RestartIfChanged`, `X-StopIfChanged` are only searched in the `[Service]` section
- The `services.bookstack.cacheDir` option has been removed, since the
cache directory is now handled by systemd.
- The `services.bookstack.extraConfig` option has been replaced by
`services.bookstack.config` which implements a
[settings-style](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md)
configuration.
- `lib.assertMsg` and `lib.assertOneOf` no longer return `false` if the passed condition is `false`, `throw`ing the given error message instead (which makes the resulting error message less cluttered). This will not impact the behaviour of code using these functions as intended, namely as top-level wrapper for `assert` conditions.
- `pkgs.vimPlugins.onedark-nvim` now refers to [navarasu/onedark.nvim](https://github.com/navarasu/onedark.nvim)
(formerly refers to [olimorris/onedarkpro.nvim](https://github.com/olimorris/onedarkpro.nvim)).
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-22.05-notable-changes}
- The option [services.redis.servers](#opt-services.redis.servers) was added
to support per-application `redis-server` which is more secure since Redis databases
are only mere key prefixes without any configuration or ACL of their own.
Backward-compatibility is preserved by mapping old `services.redis.settings`
to `services.redis.servers."".settings`, but you are strongly encouraged
to name each `redis-server` instance after the application using it,
instead of keeping that nameless one.
Except for the nameless `services.redis.servers.""`
still accessible at `127.0.0.1:6379`,
and to the members of the Unix group `redis`
through the Unix socket `/run/redis/redis.sock`,
all other `services.redis.servers.${serverName}`
are only accessible by default
to the members of the Unix group `redis-${serverName}`
through the Unix socket `/run/redis-${serverName}/redis.sock`.
2021-12-11 14:02:38 +01:00
- The option [virtualisation.vmVariant](#opt-virtualisation.vmVariant) was added
to allow users to make changes to the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` configuration
that do not apply to their normal system.
The `config.system.build.vm` attribute now always exists and defaults to the
value from `vmVariant`. Configurations that import the `virtualisation/qemu-vm.nix`
module themselves will override this value, such that `vmVariant` is not used.
Similarly [virtualisation.vmVariantWithBootloader](#opt-virtualisation.vmVariantWithBootLoader) was added.
nixos/nix-daemon: use structural settings The `nix.*` options, apart from options for setting up the daemon itself, currently provide a lot of setting mappings for the Nix daemon configuration. The scope of the mapping yields convience, but the line where an option is considered essential is blurry. For instance, the `extra-sandbox-paths` mapping is provided without its primary consumer, and the corresponding `sandbox-paths` option is also not mapped. The current system increases the maintenance burden as maintainers have to closely follow upstream changes. In this case, there are two state versions of Nix which have to be maintained collectively, with different options avaliable. This commit aims to following the standard outlined in RFC 42[1] to implement a structural setting pattern. The Nix configuration is encoded at its core as key-value pairs which maps nicely to attribute sets, making it feasible to express in the Nix language itself. Some existing options are kept such as `buildMachines` and `registry` which present a simplified interface to managing the respective settings. The interface is exposed as `nix.settings`. Legacy configurations are mapped to their corresponding options under `nix.settings` for backwards compatibility. Various options settings in other nixos modules and relevant tests have been updated to use structural setting for consistency. The generation and validation of the configration file has been modified to use `writeTextFile` instead of `runCommand` for clarity. Note that validation is now mandatory as strict checking of options has been pushed down to the derivation level due to freeformType consuming unmatched options. Furthermore, validation can not occur when cross-compiling due to current limitations. A new option `publicHostKey` was added to the `buildMachines` submodule corresponding to the base64 encoded public host key settings exposed in the builder syntax. The build machine generation was subsequently rewritten to use `concatStringsSep` for better performance by grouping concatenations. [1] - https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md
2021-11-19 23:36:26 +01:00
- The configuration portion of the `nix-daemon` module has been reworked and exposed as [nix.settings](options.html#opt-nix-settings):
* Legacy options have been mapped to the corresponding options under under [nix.settings](options.html#opt-nix.settings) but may be deprecated in the future.
* [nix.buildMachines.publicHostKey](options.html#opt-nix.buildMachines.publicHostKey) has been added.
2021-12-11 14:02:38 +01:00
- The `writers.writePyPy2`/`writers.writePyPy3` and corresponding `writers.writePyPy2Bin`/`writers.writePyPy3Bin` convenience functions to create executable Python 2/3 scripts using the PyPy interpreter were added.
- If you are using Wayland you can choose to use the Ozone Wayland support
in Chrome and several Electron apps by setting the environment variable
`NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1` (for example via
`environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1"`).
This is not enabled by default because Ozone Wayland is
still under heavy development and behavior is not always flawless.
Furthermore, not all Electron apps use the latest Electron versions.
- The `influxdb2` package was split into `influxdb2-server` and
`influxdb2-cli`, matching the split that took place upstream. A
combined `influxdb2` package is still provided in this release for
backwards compatibilty, but will be removed at a later date.
- The `services.unifi.openPorts` option default value of `true` is now deprecated and will be changed to `false` in 22.11.
Configurations using this default will print a warning when rebuilt.
2021-12-04 18:32:17 +01:00
- `security.acme` certificates will now correctly check for CA
revokation before reaching their minimum age.
- Removing domains from `security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomainNames`
will now correctly remove those domains during rebuild/renew.
- MariaDB is now offered in several versions, not just the newest one.
So if you have a need for running MariaDB 10.4 for example, you can now just set `services.mysql.package = pkgs.mariadb_104;`.
In general, it is recommended to run the newest version, to get the newest features, while sticking with an LTS version will most likely provide a more stable experience.
Sometimes software is also incompatible with the newest version of MariaDB.
- The option
[programs.ssh.enableAskPassword](#opt-programs.ssh.enableAskPassword) was
added, decoupling the setting of `SSH_ASKPASS` from
`services.xserver.enable`. This allows easy usage in non-X11 environments,
e.g. Wayland.
- [programs.ssh.knownHosts](#opt-programs.ssh.knownHosts) has gained an `extraHostNames`
option to replace `hostNames`. `hostNames` is deprecated, but still available for now.
- The `services.stubby` module was converted to a [settings-style](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md) configuration.
- The option `services.duplicati.dataDir` has been added to allow changing the location of duplicati's files.
- A new option `boot.initrd.extraModprobeConfig` has been added which can be used to configure kernel modules that are loaded in the initrd.
- `fetchFromSourcehut` now allows fetching repositories recursively
using `fetchgit` or `fetchhg` if the argument `fetchSubmodules`
is set to `true`.
2022-01-09 04:05:05 +01:00
- The option `services.thelounge.plugins` has been added to allow installing plugins for The Lounge. Plugins can be found in `pkgs.theLoungePlugins.plugins` and `pkgs.theLoungePlugins.themes`.
- The `firmwareLinuxNonfree` package has been renamed to `linux-firmware`.
2021-12-23 23:22:39 +01:00
- The `services.mbpfan` module was converted to a [RFC 0042](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md) configuration.
- The default value for `programs.spacefm.settings.graphical_su` got unset. It previously pointed to `gksu` which has been removed.
2021-12-23 23:22:39 +01:00
- A new module was added for the [Starship](https://starship.rs/) shell prompt,
providing the options `programs.starship.enable` and `programs.starship.settings`.
2022-01-10 18:06:11 +01:00
2022-01-17 06:32:55 +01:00
- `services.mattermost.plugins` has been added to allow the declarative installation of Mattermost plugins.
Plugins are automatically repackaged using autoPatchelf.
2022-01-10 18:06:11 +01:00
- The `zrepl` package has been updated from 0.4.0 to 0.5:
- The RPC protocol version was bumped; all zrepl daemons in a setup must be updated and restarted before replication can resume.
- A bug involving encrypt-on-receive has been fixed. Read the [zrepl documentation](https://zrepl.github.io/configuration/sendrecvoptions.html#job-recv-options-placeholder) and check the output of `zfs get -r encryption,zrepl:placeholder PATH_TO_ROOTFS` on the receiver.
- Renamed option `services.openssh.challengeResponseAuthentication` to `services.openssh.kbdInteractiveAuthentication`.
Reason is that the old name has been deprecated upstream.
Using the old option name will still work, but produce a warning.
- `programs.tmux` has a new option `plugins` that accepts a list of packages from the `tmuxPlugins` group. The specified packages are added to the system and loaded by `tmux`.
