Just like in the MySQL service module it really makes sense to provide a
way to inject SQL on the first start of the database cluster.

This should integrate the logging more tightly into systemd, so for
example "systemctl status mysql" actually gives an overview about what's
actually going on.
This removes the logError option attribute, so in case you still want to
write into a logfile, I've introduced an option called extraOptions, so
you can use something like:
services.mysql*.extraOptions = ''
log-error = /var/log/mysql_err.log
'';

lighttpd doesn't support loading a module more than once. If you attempt
to load a module again, lighttpd prints an error message:
(plugin.c.131) Cannot load plugin mod_cgi more than once, please fix your config (we may not accept such configs in future releases
And it's not just the error message. The module isn't loaded (or is
messed up somehow) so that neither sub-service will work properly after
this.
This is bad news for the current approach to sub-services, where each
sub-service lists the needed modules in a server.modules += (...) block.
When two sub-services need the same module we get the above issue. (And,
AFAIK, there is no way to check if a module is already loaded either.)
First I thought about an approach where each sub-service specifies the
list of plugins it needs, and that a common server.modules = (...) list
is built from the union of those lists. That would loosly couple the
sub-services with the main lighttpd nixos module expression. But I think
this is a bad idea because lighttpd module loading order matters[1], and
the module order in the global server.modules = (...) list would be
somewhat cumbersome to control.
Here is an example:
Sub-service A needs mod_fastcgi. Sub-service B needs mod_auth and
mod_fastcgi. Note that mod_auth must be loaded *before* mod_fastcgi to
take effect. The union of those modules may either be ["mod_auth"
"mod_fastcgi"] or ["mod_fastcgi" "mod_auth"] depending on the evaluation
order. The first order will work, the latter will not.
So instead of the above, this commit moves the modules from
service.modules += (...) snippets in each sub-service to a global
server.modules = (...) list in the main lighttpd module expression. The
module loading order is fixed and each module is included only if any of
the sub-services that needs it is enabled.
The downside to this approach is that sub-services need a (tiny) bit of
change to the main lighttpd nixos module expression. But I think it is
the only sane way to do it (as long as lighttpd is written the way it
is).

This is because it's quite commonly used in the wild. Especially at some "weird"
server hosters (no names here) which doesn't allow to change the baudrate for

Starting with Zabbix 2.0 the order of data imports is important[*] and will lead
to errors if not done in the right order. Zabbix 1.8 works fine with the swapped
order as well, so this change shouldn't affect any pre-2.0 users.

Quoting from the manual about DBHost:
```
In case of MySQL localhost or empty string results in using a socket. In case of
PostgreSQL only empty string results in attempt to use socket.
```
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_server
With this commit we should avoid some race conditions in systemd, because if the
host is set to "", there is no condition that postgresql has to be started prior
to the Zabbix server.

(cgit is "a hyperfast web frontend for git repositories written in C")
cgit is enabled like this (assuming lighttpd is already enabled):
services.lighttpd.cgit.enable = true;
and configured verbatim like this (contents of the cgitrc file):
services.lighttpd.cgit.configText = ''
cache-size=1000
scan-path=/srv/git
'';
cgit will be available from this URL: http://yourserver/cgit
In lighttpd, I've ensured that the cache dir for cgit is created if cgit
is enabled.
This is what currently happens (from the journal log):
[/nix/store/HASH-unit/transmission.service:27] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: kill -HUP $MAINPID
Fix it by using absolute path to kill.
1 minute is too short, given that the autovacuum launcher often seems
to require exactly 1 minute to shut down. (This might be a bug
related to autovacuum_naptime.)
Now you can access gitweb at http://yourserver/gitweb by simply adding
this to configuration.nix (assuming services.lighttpd.enable = true);
services.lighttpd.gitweb.enable = true;
The path to all bare repositories served by gitweb can be set with this
option (default value below):
services.lighttpd.gitweb.projectroot = "/srv/git";

If true, requests in the form /~user/page.html are rewritten to take

Default is off.

Instead of forcing users to configure lighttpd manually, make it an
option. The current services.lighttpd.configText option can still be
used for manual configuration, but if it is left blank (default) we'll
use the new generated config file.
The generated config file ensures that the server drops root priveleges
and runs as the "lighttpd" user. It pulls in some new config params that
can be set in configuration.nix (here with default values):
services.lighttpd.document-root = "/srv/www"
services.lighttpd.port = 80
services.lighttpd.extraConfig = "" # appended to the generated file
And it enables access and error logging to the systemd journal.

Activation scripts are run before systemd is started, so unless users
are loading firmware in the initrd (which AFAICT we currently have no
support for) the previous /sys-based setting of firmware_class was
ineffective on boot.

- drop custom config:
(please wacom using folks review this part and think
about how to get it back if its important to you)
- put default config shipping with xf86_input_wacom
into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
which seems to be interpreted again when
devices are hot plugged
- when starting x11, also provide xinput
.. you never know when you need it
This fixes all problems I had:
- device only worked when plugged in, then xorg was started
(an alternative quick fix is switching to terminal by ctrl-alt-F1 and back)
- I had to disable some devices, because eg myaint switched input
device many times a sec rendering it unusable otherwise, some of those devices
configured did not work.

We don't need to set $TZ, because we have /etc/localtime. In fact,
setting $TZ without $TZDIR doesn't work anymore since Glibc no longer
contains zone info.

This would have been nice if we had had it from the start, but now it

desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
The user should specify which major version to use
(e.g. "services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92"). We can't
really provide a sensible default, because such a default would have
to be updated from time to time, and there is no automated upgrade
procedure. So leave upgrading to the user.
Enabling udisks2 allows gvfs (which should be built with udisks support) to
perform mount/unmount operations on removable drives. It affects Thunar and
probably other Gtk-based file managers.
Gvfs doesn't supports earlier versions of udisks.
As @edolstra pointed out, this behavior is not equivalent to what we had
before as the kernel command line parameter won't take effect until the
next boot. Probably it's not likely that someone will make this change
and then add a network card before rebooting, but might as well support
that since we can.

Using /etc/lighttpd.conf "hides" the config file from NixOS so that it
will not automatically restart the service when its config file changes.
So don't do that.
I think it's nice that it first asks the usual password, and then offers the
otpw one if enabled. That enables dovecot to show the last pam prompt.
I also add the dovecot option for that.
More specifically, this removes services.pulseaudio and adds the option
hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide which defaults to false but can be used to turn
on the system-wide PulseAudio server (previously defined in
services.pulseaudio). Since the two PulseAudio modes are mutually exclusive
anyway (maybe not strictly true, but I don't think is a good idea combining
them) its nicer to be able to reuse server and ALSA configuration between them.
Also the system-wide PulseAudio service has been adjusted to systemd, and a few
things has been fixed (there was no alsa.conf before, for example).
The bottomline is that people that was using hardware.pulseaudio before should
be able to keep doing it in exactly the same way, and people that used
services.pulseaudio must switch over to hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide instead.
The smartd used to expect a list of devices to monitor. After this patch, it
expects a list of attribute sets, which may have two attributes:
- device: path to the device (required)
- options: smartd options to apply to this particular device (optional)
A concrete example configuration would be:
services.smartd = {
enable = true;
devices = [ { device = "/dev/sda"; } { device = "/dev/sdb"; options = "-d sat"; } ];
};
Furthermore, the config option 'deviceOpts' can be used to configure options
that are applied to *every* device.
Enable it with
services.transmission.enable = true;
and optionally configure it
services.transmission.settings =
{
download-dir = "/srv/torrents/";
incomplete-dir = "/srv/torrents/.incomplete/";
incomplete-dir-enabled = true;
rpc-whitelist = "127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*";
# for users in group "transmission" to have access to torrents
umask = 2;
};
The above settings are written/merged into settings.json each time the
service is about to start.
Newer kernels (since torvalds/linux@abb139e75c) try to
read firmware directly from the filesystem before falling back to a
userspace helper (udev) if firmware cannot be found (in even newer
kernels, the fallback path can be disabled altogether). By default, only
certain paths in /lib/firmware* are searched, so this was initially not
helpful for NixOS.
Since torvalds/linux@2760284206 (which,
based on the commit message, was implemented just for NixOS, go us!),
though, an extra path can be dynamically prepended to the search path.
So do that, in three ways:
1. Pass a kernel command line option in case the module is built-in
2. Add a line to modprobe.conf in case the module isn't yet loaded by
activation-time
3. Add an activation script to set the option in /sys in case the module
is already loaded by activation-time.
