Allow update commands in the script to be ordered using `mkOrder`.
If we encounter ordered sub-objects we sort them by priority.
To implement this we now explicitly pass current node in `recurse`,
which also allows us to clean up edge case for top-level node.
Also refactor `recurse` to avoid passing result text argument; we
weren't tail recursive before anyway.
link to search.nixos.org instead of pulling package metadata out of pkgs. this
lets us cache docs of a few more modules and provides easier access to package
info from the HTML manual, but makes the manpage slightly less useful since
package description are no longer rendered.
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
One use case for Mattermost configuration is doing a "mostly
mutable" configuration where NixOS module options take priority
over Mattermost's config JSON.
Add a preferNixConfig option that prefers configured Nix options
over what's configured in Mattermost config if mutableConfig is set.
Remove the reliance on readFile (it's flake incompatible) and use
jq instead.
Merge Mattermost configs together on Mattermost startup, depending
on configured module options.
Write tests for mutable, mostly mutable, and immutable configurations.
- Added defaultText for all inheritable options.
- Add docs on using new defaults option to configure
DNS validation for all domains.
- Update DNS docs to show using a service to configure
rfc2136 instead of manual steps.
- Add the migrations directory to the package
- Add postgres support to the package
- Add a service for powerdns-admin

some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
escape interpolations in descriptions where possible, replace them with
sufficiently descriptive text elsewhere. also expand cfg.* paths in
descriptions.
Instead of patching the path to /public in Discourse's sources, make
the nginx configuration refer to the symlink in the discourse
package which points to the real path.
When there is a mismatch between the path nginx serves and the path
Discourse thinks it serves, we can run into issues like files not
being served - at least when sendfile requests from the ruby app are
processed by nginx. The issue I ran into most recently is that backup
downloads don't work.
Since Discourse refers to the public directory relative to the Rails
root in many places, it's much easier to just sync this path to the
nginx configuration than trying to patch all occurrences in the
sources. This should hopefully mean less potential for breakage in
future Discourse releases, too.
Also, add support for updating plugins which keep gem versions in
files at the root of the repo (discourse-prometheus) and replace the
`up-plugin.sh` script with a README file pointing to the plugin
packaging documentation.
