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.
