These services don't create files on disk, let alone on a network
filesystem, so they don't really need a fixed uid. And this also gets
rid of a warning coming from <= 14.12 systems.
Otherwise, the enabled -> disabled transition won't be handled
correctly (switch-to-configuration currently assumes that if a unit is
running and exists, it should be restarted).
This avoids the following warning:
Apr 19 10:53:48 xen systemd[1]: [/nix/store/...-unit-ddclient.service/ddclient.service:19] Unknown lvalue 'type' in section 'Service'
As `Type=simple` is the default in systemd, the assignment to the
service type can be simply dropped.
Added support for managing Plex plugins via Nix. This is done via an
"extraPlugins" configuration option which takes a list of paths to
plugin bundles, which are then symlinked into Plex's plugin directory
when the service is started.
Specifically, this fixes dnsmasq, which failed with

after being enabled, due to dbus not being reloaded.
This option causes the specified user to be automatically logged in at
the virtual console.
While at it, refactor and make a helper function for building the getty
command line.
This partially reverts commit 3a4fd0bfc6.
Addresses another concern by @edolstra that users might not want to
update *all* channels. We're now reverting to the old behaviour but
after updating the "nixos" channel, we just check whether the channel
ships with a file called ".update-on-nixos-rebuild" and if it exists, we
update that channel as well.
Other channels than these are not touched anymore.

My original reason to put it at the beginning of NIX_PATH was to allow
shipping a particular version <nixpkgs> with a channel. But in order to
do that, we can still let the channel expression ship with a custom
version of nixpkgs by something like <channel/nixpkgs> and the builder
of the channel could also rewrite self-references.
So the inconvenience is now shifted towards the maintainer of the
channel rather than the user (which isn't nice, but better err on the
side of the developer rather than on the user), because as @edolstra
pointed out: Having the channels of root at the beginning of NIX_PATH
could have unintended side-effects if there a channel called nixpkgs.

Should make it even easier to use custom channels, because whenever the
user does a "nixos-rebuild --upgrade", it will also upgrade possibly
used ("used" as in referenced in configuration.nix) channels besides
"nixos". And if you also ship a channel tied to a particular version of
nixpkgs or even remove the "nixos" channels, you won't run into
unexpected situations where the system is not updating your custom
channels.

This is very useful if you want to distribute channels (and thus
expressions as well) in a similar fashion to Debians APT sources (or
PPAs or whatnot).
So, for example if you have a channel with some additional functions
or packages, you simply add that channel with:
sudo nix-channel --add https://example.com/my-nifty-channel foo
And you can access that channel using <foo>, for example in your
configuration.nix:
{
imports = [ <foo/modules/shiny-little-module> ];
environment.systemPackages = with import <foo/pkgs> {}; [ bar blah ];
services.udev.extraRules = import <foo/lib/udev/mkrule.nix> {
kernel = "eth*";
attr.address = "00:1D:60:B9:6D:4F";
name = "my_fast_network_card";
};
}
Within nixpkgs, we shouldn't have <nixos> used anywhere anymore, so we
shouldn't get into conflicts.

If a kernel without CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER set is used with NixOS, the file
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug does not exist. Before writing to it to disable
this deprecated mechanism, we have to ensure it actually exists because
otherwise the activation script will fail.
This updates rdnssd to the following:
* Using the systemd interfaces directly
* Using the rdnssd user instead of the root user
* Integrating with resolvconf instead of writing directly to /etc/resolv.conf
This is essentially what's been done for the official NixOS build slaves
and I'm using it as well for a few of my machines and my own Hydra
slaves.
Here's the same implementation from the Delft server configurations:

Many bus clients get hopelessly confused when dbus-daemon is
restarted. So let's not do that.
Of course, this is not ideal either, because we end up stuck with a
possibly outdated dbus-daemon. But that issue will become irrelevant
in the glorious kdbus-based future.
Hopefully this also gets rid of systemd getting stuck after
dbus-daemon is restarted:

There are a number of hidden restrictions on the syslinux
configuration file that come into play when UNetbootin
compatiblity is desired. With this commit these are documented.
This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to
syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that
"dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives
instead of needing applications like UnetBootin.
The group is specified using a singleton list, so the loaOf merging is
done by iterating through the list items with imap, so it enumerates
every element and sets that as the default "name" attribute.
From lib/types:143:
name = elem.name or "unnamed-${toString defIdx}.${toString elemIdx}";
So, people get groups like "unnamed-X.Y" instead of "mpd".

Fixes the useless collisions in the system path.
The 64bit and 32bit variants have the same files, hence
it's pointless to put the 32bit pulseaudio in systemPackages.
The nixbld group doesn't need read permission, it only needs write and

Rather than using openssl to hash the password at build time, and hence
leaving the plaintext password world-readable in the nix store, we can
instead hash the password in the nix expression itself using
builtins.hashString.
This patch resolves all uid/gid conflicts except for nobody/nogroup (seems
to make sense that these are the same).
All conflicts where determined mechanically, but resolutions were manual.
This patch also marks uids/gids with no corresponding group/user as "unused"
(aka. reserved).
Briefly,
- tss group conflicts with dhcpcd
The tss group id conflicts with dhcpcd: assign
a new number and add a corresponding tss user.
- elasticsearch uid conflicts with haproxy gid
- resolve firebird/munin conflict
- fix fourstorehttp{,d} typo
- fix ghostOne typo: the service module refers to gids.ghostone, so use that
in ids
- memcached uid conflicts with users gid
- nagios uid conflicts with disks gid
- nscd uid conflicts with wheel gid
- ntp uid conflicts with tty gid
- resolve postfix/postdrop id uid
- redis uid conflicts with keys gid
- sshd uid conflicts with kmem gid
- tcryptd uid conflicts with openldap gid
- unifi uid conflicts with docker gid
- uptimed uid conflicts with utmp gid
- zope2 uid conflicts with connman gid
- tomcat uid/gid mismatch
With the new evaluation of arguments, pkgs is now defined by the
configuration, which implies that option declaration with pkgs.lib
will cause an infinite loop.
This allows for module arguments to be handled modularly, in particular
allowing the nixpkgs module to handle the nixpkgs import internally.
This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.

By making askPassword an option, desktop environment modules can
override the default x11_ssh_askpassword with their own equivalent for
better integration. For example, KDE 5 uses plasma5.ksshaskpass instead.
Major changes
- Port to systemd timers: for each archive configuration is created a
tarsnap@archive-name.timer which triggers the instanced service unit
- Rename the `config` option to `archives`
Minor/superficial improvements
- Restrict tarsnap service capabilities
- Use dirOf builtin
- Set executable bit for owner of tarsnap cache directory
- Set IOSchedulingClass to idle
- Humanize numbers when printing stats
- Rewrite most option descriptions
- Simplify assertion
Since we restart all active target units (of which there are many),
it's hard to see the units that actually matter. So don't print that
we're starting target units that are already active.
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).
To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.
The grsec-lock unit fails unless /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/grsec_lock
exists and so prevents switching into a new configuration after enabling
grsecurity.sysctl.
If the host is shutting down, machinectl may fail because it's
bus-activated and D-Bus will be shutting down. So just send a signal
to the leader process directly.
Fixes#6212.
This was lost back in
ffedee6ed5. Getting this to work is
slightly tricky because ssh-agent runs as a user unit, and so doesn't
know the user's $DISPLAY.
* rewrite to systemd.services
* disable forking to give systemd better control
* verifiably run as ddclient user
* expose ssl option
* unset default value for dyndns server
* rename option "web" to "use" to be consistent with ddclient docs
* add descriptions
* add types to options
* clean up formatting
HAProxy fails to start with the default 'config'. Better disable it and
assert that the user provides a suitable 'config'. (AFAICS, there cannot
really be a default config file for HAProxy.)
The networkd implementation sets systemd.services.dhcpcd.enable to
false in nixos/modules/tasks/network-interfaces-systemd.nix. So we need
to respect that in the dhcpcd module.
If we don't, the resumeCommand is set nevertheless, which causes the
post-resume.service to fail after resuming:
Failed to reload dhcpcd.service: Unit dhcpcd.service is masked.
post-resume.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Failed to start Post-Resume Actions.
