by setting <literal>jitSupport = false;</literal> in an overlay. See

entirely as a dedicated <literal>pdns</literal> user, instead of starting as <literal>root</literal>

and dropping privileges, as well as the default <literal>socket-dir</literal> location changing from

xfsprogs was update from 4.19 to 5.10. It now enables reflink support by default on filesystem creation.
|
|
Support for reflinks was added with an experimental status to kernel 4.9 and deemed stable in kernel 4.16.
|
|
If you want to be able to mount XFS filesystems created with this release of xfsprogs on kernel releases older than those, you need to format them
|
|
with <literal>mkfs.xfs -m reflink=0</literal>.

The uWSGI server is now built with POSIX capabilities. As a consequence,
|
|
root is no longer required in emperor mode and the service defaults to
|
|
running as the unprivileged <literal>uwsgi</literal> user. Any additional
|
|
capability can be added via the new option
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.uwsgi.capabilities"/>.
|
|
The previous behaviour can be restored by setting:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.uwsgi.user"/> = "root";
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.uwsgi.group"/> = "root";

<xref linkend="opt-services.uwsgi.instance"/> =

uid = "uwsgi";

gid = "uwsgi";

};

</programlisting>

</para>
|

Another incompatibility from the previous release is that vassals running under a

|
different user or group need to use <literal>immediate-{uid,gid}</literal>
|

instead of the usual <literal>uid,gid</literal> options.

<para>

As a result, <literal>extraConfig</literal> and <literal>extraDatabaseConfig</literal>

file to OLC configuration with the following script (find the location of this

This will dump your current configuration in LDIF format, which should be

Amazon EC2 and OpenStack Compute (nova) images now re-fetch instance meta data and user data from the instance

metadata service (IMDS) on each boot. For example: stopping an EC2 instance, changing its user data, and

restarting the instance will now cause it to fetch and apply the new user data.

Specifically, <literal>/etc/ec2-metadata</literal> is re-populated on each boot. Some NixOS scripts that read
|
|
from this directory are guarded to only run if the files they want to manipulate do not already exist, and so
|
|
will not re-apply their changes if the IMDS response changes. Examples: <literal>root</literal>'s SSH key is
|
|
only added if <literal>/root/.ssh/authorized_keys</literal> does not exist, and SSH host keys are only set from
|
|
user data if they do not exist in <literal>/etc/ssh</literal>.

Extra config options can be given via the option <literal>services.slurm.dbdserver.extraConfig</literal>. The actual configuration file is created on the fly on startup of the service.

The prometheus json exporter is now managed by the prometheus community. Together with additional features
|
|
some backwards incompatibilities were introduced.
|
|
Most importantly the exporter no longer accepts a fixed command-line parameter to specify the URL of the
|
|
endpoint serving JSON. It now expects this URL to be passed as an URL parameter, when scraping the exporter's
|
|
<literal>/probe</literal> endpoint.
|
|
In the prometheus scrape configuration the scrape target might look like this:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
http://some.json-exporter.host:7979/probe?target=https://example.com/some/json/endpoint
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Existing configuration for the exporter needs to be updated, but can partially be re-used.

|
Documentation is available in the upstream repository and a small example for NixOS is available
|
|
in the corresponding NixOS test.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>

These changes also affect <xref linkend="opt-services.prometheus.exporters.rspamd.enable" />, which is

Androidenv was updated, removing the <literal>includeDocs</literal> and <literal>lldbVersions</literal>

arguments. Docs only covered a single version of the Android SDK, LLDB is now bundled with the NDK,

and both are no longer available to download from the Android package repositories. Additionally, since

the package lists have been updated, some older versions of Android packages may not be bundled. If you

depend on older versions of Android packages, we recommend overriding the repo.

androidenv repo.json with your own. Additionally, license files are now written to allow compatibility

with Gradle-based tools, and the <literal>extraLicenses</literal> argument has been added to accept more
|
|
SDK licenses if your project requires it. See the androidenv documentation for more details.

NixOS now emits a deprecation warning if systemd's <literal>StartLimitInterval</literal> setting is used in a <literal>serviceConfig</literal> section instead of in a <literal>unitConfig</literal>; that setting is deprecated and now undocumented for the service section by systemd upstream, but still effective and somewhat buggy there, which can be confusing. See <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/45785">#45785</link> for details.

The Unbound DNS resolver service (<literal>services.unbound</literal>) has been refactored to allow reloading, control sockets and to fix startup ordering issues.

It is now possible to enable a local UNIX control socket for unbound by setting the <xref linkend="opt-services.unbound.localControlSocketPath" />

option.

Previously we just applied a very minimal set of restrictions and
|
|
trusted unbound to properly drop root privs and capabilities.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
As of this we are (for the most part) just using the upstream
|
|
example unit file for unbound. The main difference is that we start
|
|
unbound as <literal>unbound</literal> user with the required capabilities instead of
|
|
letting unbound do the chroot & uid/gid changes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The upstream unit configuration this is based on is a lot stricter with
|
|
all kinds of permissions then our previous variant. It also came with
|
|
the default of having the <literal>Type</literal> set to <literal>notify</literal>, therefore we are now also
|
|
using the <literal>unbound-with-systemd</literal> package here. Unbound will start up,
|
|
read the configuration files and start listening on the configured ports
|
|
before systemd will declare the unit <literal>active (running)</literal>.
|
|
This will likely help with startup order and the occasional race condition during system
|
|
activation where the DNS service is started but not yet ready to answer
|
|
queries. Services depending on <literal>nss-lookup.target</literal> or <literal>unbound.service</literal>
|
|
are now be able to use unbound when those targets have been reached.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Aditionally to the much stricter runtime environmet the
|
|
<literal>/dev/urandom</literal> mount lines we previously had in the code (that would
|
|
randomly failed during the stop-phase) have been removed as systemd will take care of those for us.

The <literal>preStart</literal> script is now only required if we enabled the trust
|
|
anchor updates (which are still enabled by default).
|

</para>
|
|
|

<para>
|
|
Another benefit of the refactoring is that we can now issue reloads via
|
|
either <literal>pkill -HUP unbound</literal> and <literal>systemctl reload unbound</literal> to reload the
|
|
running configuration without taking the daemon offline. A prerequisite
|
|
of this was that unbound configuration is available on a well known path
|
|
on the file system. We are using the path <literal>/etc/unbound/unbound.conf</literal> as that is the
|
|
default in the CLI tooling which in turn enables us to use
|
|
<literal>unbound-control</literal> without passing a custom configuration location.

NixOS now defaults to the unified cgroup hierarchy (cgroupsv2).
