We've updated to Xfce 4.14, which brings a new module <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce4-14</option>.
|
|
If you'd like to upgrade, please switch from the <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce</option> module as it
|
|
will be deprecated in a future release. They're incompatibilities with the current Xfce module; it doesn't support
|
|
<option>thunarPlugins</option> and it isn't recommended to use <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce</option>
|
|
and <option>services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce4-14</option> simultaneously or to downgrade from Xfce 4.14 after upgrading.

With these options we hope to give users finer grained control over their systems. Prior to this change you'd either have to manually
|
|
disable options or use <option>environment.gnome3.excludePackages</option> which only excluded the optional applications.
|
|
<option>environment.gnome3.excludePackages</option> is now unguarded, it can exclude any package installed with <option>environment.systemPackages</option>
|
|
in the GNOME 3 module.

PostgreSQL now uses

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 default value for

<option>networking.interfaces.*.preferTempAddress</option> was

<literal>true</literal>, undeclared interfaces would not prefer temporary

temporary addresses. EUI64 addresses can still be set as preferred by

The <option>security.acme.directory</option> option has been replaced by a read-only <option>security.acme.certs.<cert>.directory</option> option for each certificate you define. This will be
|
|
a subdirectory of <literal>/var/lib/acme</literal>. You can use this read-only option to figure out where the certificates are stored for a specific certificate. For example,
|
|
the <option>services.nginx.virtualhosts.<name>.enableACME</option> option will use this directory option to find the certs for the virtual host.

Furthermore, the acme module will not automatically add a dependency on <literal>lighttpd.service</literal> anymore. If you are using certficates provided by letsencrypt

For nginx, the dependencies are still automatically managed when <option>services.nginx.virtualhosts.<name>.enableACME</option> is enabled just like before. What changed is that nginx now directly depends on the specific certificates that it needs,

This will mean nginx will no longer depend on certificates it isn't explicitly managing and fixes a bug with certificate renewal
|
|
ordering racing with nginx restarting which could lead to nginx getting in a broken state as described at

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>

so something like <literal>networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8010

];</literal> may be required in your configuration. Also consider enabling

service is no longer using <literal>DynamicUser=yes</literal>. In order for the

upgrade to work we rely on an activation script to move the state from the old

<literal>/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync</literal>.

The package <literal>avahi</literal> is now built to look up service
|
|
definitions from <literal>/etc/avahi/services</literal> instead of its

output directory in the nix store. Accordingly the module

|
<option>avahi</option> now supports custom service definitions via
|
|
<option>services.avahi.extraServiceFiles</option>, which are then placed
|
|
in the aforementioned directory. See <citerefentry>

<refentrytitle>avahi.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum>

Since version 0.1.19, <literal>cargo-vendor</literal> honors package
|
|
includes that are specified in the <filename>Cargo.toml</filename>
|
|
file of Rust crates. <literal>rustPlatform.buildRustPackage</literal> uses
|
|
<literal>cargo-vendor</literal> to collect and build dependent crates.
|
|
Since this change in <literal>cargo-vendor</literal> changes the set of
|
|
vendored files for most Rust packages, the hash that use used to verify
|
|
the dependencies, <literal>cargoSha256</literal>, also changes.

It's now possible to change configuration in

<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.enable">services.nextcloud</link> after the initial deploy
|

since all config parameters are persisted in an additional config file generated by the module.

There exists now <literal>lib.forEach</literal>, which is like <literal>map</literal>, but with

arguments flipped. When mapping function body spans many lines (or has nested

<literal>map</literal>s), it is often hard to follow which list is modified.

<para>

Previous solution to this problem was either to use <literal>lib.flip map</literal>
|
|
idiom or extract that anonymous mapping function to a named one. Both can still be used
|
|
but <literal>lib.forEach</literal> is preferred over <literal>lib.flip map</literal>.
