mysql already has its socket path hardcoded to to /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. There's not much value in making the pidDir configurable, which also points to /run/mysqld by default. We only seem to use `services.mysql.pidDir` in the wordpress startup script, to wait for mysql to boot up, but we can also simply wait on the (hardcoded) socket location too. A much nicer way to accomplish that would be to properly describe a dependency on mysqld.service. This however is not easily doable, due to how the apache-httpd module was designed.

Buildbot no longer supports Python 2, as support was dropped upstream in

version 2.0.0. Configurations may need to be modified to make them

compatible with Python 3.

PostgreSQL now uses
|
|
<filename class="directory">/run/postgresql</filename> as its socket
|
|
directory instead of <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>. So
|
|
if you run an application like eg. Nextcloud, where you need to use
|
|
the Unix socket path as the database host name, you need to change it
|
|
accordingly.

The options <option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.user</option> and

|
<option>services.prometheus.alertmanager.group</option> have been removed
|
|
because the alertmanager service is now using systemd's <link

xlink:href="http://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html">
|
|
DynamicUser mechanism</link> which obviates these options.

The NetworkManager systemd unit was renamed back from network-manager.service to
|
|
NetworkManager.service for better compatibility with other applications expecting this name.

The same applies to ModemManager where modem-manager.service is now called ModemManager.service again.

The <option>services.nzbget.configFile</option> and <option>services.nzbget.openFirewall</option>

options were removed as they are managed internally by the nzbget. The

|
<option>services.nzbget.dataDir</option> option hadn't actually been used by
|
|
the module for some time and so was removed as cleanup.

The <option>services.mysql.pidDir</option> option was removed, as it was only used by the wordpress
|
|
apache-httpd service to wait for mysql to have started up.
|
|
This can be accomplished by either describing a dependency on mysql.service (preferred)
|
|
or waiting for the (hardcoded) <filename>/run/mysqld/mysql.sock</filename> file to appear.

from all NixOS modules included in a given

<literal>configuration.nix</literal> configuration file. Currently, it is
|
|
set to <literal>false</literal> by default as enabling it frequently
|

prevents evaluation. But the plan is to eventually have it set to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> by default. Please set it to
|
|
<literal>true</literal> now in your <literal>configuration.nix</literal>
|

and fix all the bugs it uncovers.

The <literal>vlc</literal> package gained support for Chromecast

streaming, enabled by default. TCP port 8010 must be open for it to work,

so something like <literal>networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8010
|
|
];</literal> may be required in your configuration. Also consider enabling

Accelerated Video Playback</link> for better transcoding performance.

The <literal>mysql</literal> service now runs as <literal>mysql</literal>

user. Previously, systemd did execute it as root, and mysql dropped privileges

itself.

This includes <literal>ExecStartPre=</literal> and

<literal>ExecStartPost=</literal> phases.

To accomplish that, runtime and data directory setup was delegated to

RuntimeDirectory and tmpfiles.
