Currently, this uses the somewhat crude method of setting LD_PRELOAD in the
system environment. This works, but should be considered a stepping stone to
a more robust solution.
eb90d97009 broke nslcd, as /run/nslcd was
created/chowned as root user, while nslcd wants to do parts as nslcd
user.
This commit changes the nslcd to run with the proper uid/gid from the
start (through User= and Group=), so the RuntimeDirectory has proper
permissions, too.
In some cases, secrets are baked into nslcd's config file during startup
(so we don't want to provide it from the store).
This config file is normally hard-wired to /etc/nslcd.conf, but we don't
want to use PermissionsStartOnly anymore (#56265), and activation
scripts are ugly, so redirect /etc/nslcd.conf to /run/nslcd/nslcd.conf,
which now gets provisioned inside ExecStartPre=.
This change requires the files referenced to in
users.ldap.bind.passwordFile and users.ldap.daemon.rootpwmodpwFile to be
readable by the nslcd user (in the non-nslcd case, this was already the
case for users.ldap.bind.passwordFile)
fixes#57783
users.ldap.daemon.rootpwmodpw -> users.ldap.daemon.rootpwmodpwFile
users.ldap.bind.password -> users.ldap.bind.passwordFile
as users.ldap.daemon.rootpwmodpw never was part of a release, no
mkRenamedOptionModule is introduced.
The motivation for this is that some applications are unaware
of this feature and can set their volume to 100% on startup
harming people ears and possiblly blowing someone's audio
setup.
I noticed this in #54594 and by extension epiphany[0].
Please also note that many other distros have this default for
the reason outlined above.

This creates a dependency cycle when used with boot.tmpOnTmpfs:
basic.target <- tmp.mount <- swap.target <- zram-init-dev0 <- basic.target
This same fix is done already for tmp.mount
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/47474
- add `zramSwap.algorithm` option, which allows to change compressor
declaratively. zstd as default
- add `zramSwap.swapDevices` option, which allows to define how many zram
devices will be used as swap. Rest devices can be managed freely
- simpler floating calculations
- fix udev race condition
- some documentation changes
- replaced `/sys/block/zram*` handling with `zramctl`, because I had occasional
"Device is busy" error (looks like zram has to be configured in predefined order)
- added `memoryPercent` and `algorithm` as restart triggers. I think, it was
a bug that changing `memoryPercent` in configuration wasn't applied immediately.
- removed a bind to .swap device. While it looks natural (when swap device goes
off, so should zram device), it wasn't implemented properly. This caused problems
with swapon/swapoff:
```
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/zram0 partition 8166024 0 -2
/var/swapfile file 5119996 5120 1
$ sudo swapoff -a
$ sudo swapon -a
swapon: /dev/zram0: read swap header failed
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/var/swapfile file 5119996 0 1
```
The aim is to minimize surprises: when the user explicitly installs a
package in their configuration, it should override any package
implicitly installed by NixOS.
It's a quick approximation to unblock unstable channels after #48116.
This commit isn't ideal, as I suspect most wayland users won't have
xserver.enable, so they will lose the icon cache in case they had gtk
in system path (otherwise they didn't get cache anyway).
I considered using environment.noXlibs, but the nixos tests installing
headless systems do *not* get that option, so we would still be pulling
gtk in many cases where it's clearly not desired. We need to design
this more carefully.
Several service definitions used `mkEnableOption` with text starting
with "Whether to", which produced funny option descriptions like
"Whether to enable Whether to run the rspamd daemon..".
This commit corrects this, and adds short descriptions of services
to affected service definitions.
