This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
1) Change start-type to ```notify``` when running MariaDB so that we don't have to busy-wait for the
socket to appear.
2) Do not manually create the directory under /run as we can get systemd to do
that for us. This opens up the possibility later for not having to launch as root.
Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):
pkgs/development/libraries/epoxy/default.nix
pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/daphne/default.nix
pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix
before:
- /var/run/memcached is a bad default for a socket path, since its
parent directory must be writeable by memcached.
- Socket directory was not created by the module itself -> this was
left as a burden to the user?
- Having a static uid with a dynamic user name is not very useful.
after:
- Replace services.memcached.socket by a boolean flag. This simplifies
our code, since we do not have to check if the user specifies a
path with a parent directory that should be owned by memcached
(/run/memcached/memcached.sock -> /run/memcached).
- Remove fixed uid/gid allocation. The only file ever owned by the
daemon is the socket that will be recreated on every start.
Therefore user and group ids do not need to be static.
- only create the memcached user, if the user has not specified a
different one. The major use case for changing option is to allow
existing services (such as php-fpm) opening the local unix socket.
If we would unconditionally create a user that option would be
useless.
Comparing packages via equality will lead to different results when package and module are from different
`nixpkgs` checkouts.
Also, because MariaDB is actually supported, added a note to option description to make this knowledge more discover-able.
`nixos-option` evals the description and the '`' is used to
define shell commands.
Due to this, the following error appears:
```
$ nixos-option services.postgresql.superUser
Value:
"root"
Default:
"root"
Description:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: root: command not found
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: postgres: command not found
NixOS traditionally used as superuser, most other distros use .
From 17.09 we also try to follow this standard. Internal since changing this value
would lead to breakage while setting up databases.
```
postage is no longer maintained and has been replaced by the identical pgmanage. See:
https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage#postage-has-been-replaced-with-pgmanage
The following error is raised when a user enables the deprecated `services.postage.enable` option:
Failed assertions:
- services.postage is deprecated in favor of pgmanage. They have the same options so just substitute postage for pgmanage.
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09
* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09
Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09
* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09
The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.
* updated nixos release notes
Version 2.0.0 is installed as a separate package called "couchdb2".
When setting the config option "package" attribute to pkgs.couchdb2, a
corresponding service configuration will be generated. If a previous
1.6 installation exists, the databases can still be found on the local
port (default: 5986) and can be replicated from there.
Note that single-node or cluster setup still needs to be configured
manually, as described in
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/install/index.html.

* influxdb module: add postStart
* cadvisor module: increase TimeoutStartSec
Under high load, the cadvisor module can take longer than the default 90
seconds to start. This change should hopefully fix the test on Hydra.
Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
Fixes#15512 and #16032
With the multi output, postgresql cannot find at runtime what is its
basedir when looking for libdir and pkglibdir. This commit fixes that.
Previously it was only set once, now it is enforced on each start-up of
redis.service. Also set _ownership_ recursively, so that the
/var/lib/redis/dump.rdb file is guaranteed to be accessible by the
currently configured redis user.
Fixes issue #9687, where redis wouldn't start because /var/lib/redis had
wrong owner.
The module will configure a Cassandra server with common options being
tweakable. Included is also a test which will spin up 3 nodes and
verify that the cluster can be formed, broken, and repaired.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Regression introduced by b21fd5d066.
The initialScript is only executed whenever there is a .first-startup in
the dataDir, so silently dropping the file essentially breaks
initialScript functionality.

Authentication methods are tried in order, so if another NixOS module
defines a specific ident mapping like
local hydra all ident map=hydra-users
it should appear before the generic
local all all ident
When starting from a clean slate, the couchdb service fails.
First, the pre-start script fails because it tries to chown the uriFile,
which doesn't exist. It also doesn't ensure that the directory in which
the uriFIle is placed is writeable by couchdb, which could also cause
failure (though I didn't observe this).
Additionally, the log file's default location isn't a directory owned by
couchdb, nor is the file guaranteed to exist, nor is it guaranteed to be
chowned to the appropriate user. All of which can cause unexpected
failure.
As a bonus I made a small change in the description of the configFile
attribute, in the hopes of making it a little more obvious why it
existed.
Commit 89fee1006c ("nixos/redis: clean up
option types") broke nixos evaluation:
error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a set, at .../nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/redis.nix:111:28
Fix it.
Reported by Oliver Charles (thanks!).
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
The postgresql module has a postStart section that waits for a database
to accept connections before continuing. However, this assumes various
properties about the database - specifically the database user
and (implicitly) the database name. This means that for old
installations, this command fails because there is no 'postgres' user,
and the service never starts.
While 7deff39 does create the 'postgres' user, a better solution is to
use `pg_isready`, who's sole purpose is to check if the database is
accepting connections. This has no dependency on users, so should be
more robust.
Old PostgreSQL installations were created using the 'root' database
user. In this case, we need to create a new 'postgres' account, as we
now assume that this is the superuser account.
Unfortunately, these machines will be left with a 'root' user as
well (which will have ownership of some databases). While PostgreSQL
does let you rename superuser accounts, you can only do that when you
are connected as a *different* database user. Thus we'd have to create a
special superuser account to do the renaming. As we default to using
ident authentication, we would have to create a system level user to do
this. This all feels rather complex, so I'm currently opting to keep the
'root' user on these old machines.
as per postgresql manual, interactions with psql should be carried
out with the postgresql system user and postgresql db user by default.
ensure it happens in postStart.
According to the MySQL manual, this is a perfectly legal way of
shutting down the server. The shutdown logs also looks fine:
systemd[1]: Stopping MySQL Server...

PostgreSQL defaults to having 'postgres' as the superuser. NixOS should
use this default name to provide a less surprising result to people who
enable services.postgres.
Postgres was taking a long time to shutdown. This is because we were
sending SIGINT to all processes, apparently confusing the autovacuum
launcher. Instead it should only be sent to the main process (which
takes care of shutting down the others).
The downside is that systemd will also send the final SIGKILL only to
the main process, so other processes in the cgroup may be left behind.
There should be an option for this...
The attribute ‘config.systemd.services.<service-name>.runner’
generates a script that runs the service outside of systemd. This is
useful for testing, and also allows NixOS services to be used outside
of NixOS. For instance, given a configuration file foo.nix:
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{ services.postgresql.enable = true;
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92;
services.postgresql.dataDir = "/tmp/postgres";
}
you can build and run PostgreSQL as follows:
$ nix-build -A config.systemd.services.postgresql.runner -I nixos-config=./foo.nix
$ ./result
This will run the service's ExecStartPre, ExecStart, ExecStartPost and
ExecStopPost commands in an appropriate environment. It doesn't work
well yet for "forking" services, since it can't track the main
process. It also doesn't work for services that assume they're always
executed by root.
