Modules that are imported can also be disabled. The option declarations and
|
|
config implementation of a disabled module will be ignored, allowing another
|
|
to take it's 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.

<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 it's implementation details.
