<title>Replace Modules</title>

<para>

Modules that are imported can also be disabled. The option
|
||
declarations, config implementation and the imports of a disabled
|
||
module will be ignored, allowing another to take its place. This can
|
||
be used to import a set of modules from another channel while
|
||
keeping the rest of the system on a stable release.

<para>
|
||
<literal>disabledModules</literal> is a top level attribute like
|
||
<literal>imports</literal>, <literal>options</literal> and
|
||
<literal>config</literal>. It contains a list of modules that will
|
||
be disabled. This can either be the full path to the module or a
|
||
string with the filename relative to the modules path (eg.
|
||
<nixpkgs/nixos/modules> for nixos).

This example will replace the existing postgresql module with the
|
||
version defined in the nixos-unstable channel while keeping the rest
|
||
of the modules and packages from the original nixos channel. This
|
||
only overrides the module definition, this won’t use postgresql from
|
||
nixos-unstable unless explicitly configured to do so.

This example shows how to define a custom module as a replacement
|
||
for an existing module. Importing this module will disable the
|
||
original module without having to know its implementation details.
