# Input Methods {#module-services-input-methods}
Input methods are an operating system component that allows any data, such as
keyboard strokes or mouse movements, to be received as input. In this way
users can enter characters and symbols not found on their input devices.
Using an input method is obligatory for any language that has more graphemes
than there are keys on the keyboard.
The following input methods are available in NixOS:
- IBus: The intelligent input bus.
- Fcitx: A customizable lightweight input method.
- Nabi: A Korean input method based on XIM.
- Uim: The universal input method, is a library with a XIM bridge.
- Hime: An extremely easy-to-use input method framework.
- Kime: Korean IME
## IBus {#module-services-input-methods-ibus}
IBus is an Intelligent Input Bus. It provides full featured and user
friendly input method user interface.
The following snippet can be used to configure IBus:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "ibus";
ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ anthy hangul mozc ];
};
```
`i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines` is optional and can be used
to add extra IBus engines.
Available extra IBus engines are:
- Anthy (`ibus-engines.anthy`): Anthy is a system for
Japanese input method. It converts Hiragana text to Kana Kanji mixed text.
- Hangul (`ibus-engines.hangul`): Korean input method.
- m17n (`ibus-engines.m17n`): m17n is an input method that
uses input methods and corresponding icons in the m17n database.
- mozc (`ibus-engines.mozc`): A Japanese input method from
Google.
- Table (`ibus-engines.table`): An input method that load
tables of input methods.
- table-others (`ibus-engines.table-others`): Various
table-based input methods. To use this, and any other table-based input
methods, it must appear in the list of engines along with
`table`. For example:
```
ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ table table-others ];
```
To use any input method, the package must be added in the configuration, as
shown above, and also (after running `nixos-rebuild`) the
input method must be added from IBus' preference dialog.
### Troubleshooting {#module-services-input-methods-troubleshooting}
If IBus works in some applications but not others, a likely cause of this
is that IBus is depending on a different version of `glib`
to what the applications are depending on. This can be checked by running
`nix-store -q --requisites <path> | grep glib`,
where `<path>` is the path of either IBus or an
application in the Nix store. The `glib` packages must
match exactly. If they do not, uninstalling and reinstalling the
application is a likely fix.
## Fcitx {#module-services-input-methods-fcitx}
Fcitx is an input method framework with extension support. It has three
built-in Input Method Engine, Pinyin, QuWei and Table-based input methods.
The following snippet can be used to configure Fcitx:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "fcitx";
fcitx.engines = with pkgs.fcitx-engines; [ mozc hangul m17n ];
};
```
`i18n.inputMethod.fcitx.engines` is optional and can be
used to add extra Fcitx engines.
Available extra Fcitx engines are:
- Anthy (`fcitx-engines.anthy`): Anthy is a system for
Japanese input method. It converts Hiragana text to Kana Kanji mixed text.
- Chewing (`fcitx-engines.chewing`): Chewing is an
intelligent Zhuyin input method. It is one of the most popular input
methods among Traditional Chinese Unix users.
- Hangul (`fcitx-engines.hangul`): Korean input method.
- Unikey (`fcitx-engines.unikey`): Vietnamese input method.
- m17n (`fcitx-engines.m17n`): m17n is an input method that
uses input methods and corresponding icons in the m17n database.
- mozc (`fcitx-engines.mozc`): A Japanese input method from
Google.
- table-others (`fcitx-engines.table-others`): Various
table-based input methods.
## Nabi {#module-services-input-methods-nabi}
Nabi is an easy to use Korean X input method. It allows you to enter
phonetic Korean characters (hangul) and pictographic Korean characters
(hanja).
The following snippet can be used to configure Nabi:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "nabi";
};
```
## Uim {#module-services-input-methods-uim}
Uim (short for "universal input method") is a multilingual input method
framework. Applications can use it through so-called bridges.
The following snippet can be used to configure uim:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "uim";
};
```
Note: The [](#opt-i18n.inputMethod.uim.toolbar) option can be
used to choose uim toolbar.
## Hime {#module-services-input-methods-hime}
Hime is an extremely easy-to-use input method framework. It is lightweight,
stable, powerful and supports many commonly used input methods, including
Cangjie, Zhuyin, Dayi, Rank, Shrimp, Greek, Korean Pinyin, Latin Alphabet,
etc...
The following snippet can be used to configure Hime:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "hime";
};
```
## Kime {#module-services-input-methods-kime}
Kime is Korean IME. it's built with Rust language and let you get simple, safe, fast Korean typing
The following snippet can be used to configure Kime:
```
i18n.inputMethod = {
enabled = "kime";
};
```

# Digital Bitbox {#module-programs-digitalbitbox}
Digital Bitbox is a hardware wallet and second-factor authenticator.
The `digitalbitbox` programs module may be installed by setting
`programs.digitalbitbox` to `true` in a manner similar to
```
programs.digitalbitbox.enable = true;
```
and bundles the `digitalbitbox` package (see [](#sec-digitalbitbox-package)),
which contains the `dbb-app` and `dbb-cli` binaries, along with the hardware
module (see [](#sec-digitalbitbox-hardware-module)) which sets up the necessary
udev rules to access the device.
Enabling the digitalbitbox module is pretty much the easiest way to get a
Digital Bitbox device working on your system.
For more information, see <https://digitalbitbox.com/start_linux>.
## Package {#sec-digitalbitbox-package}
The binaries, `dbb-app` (a GUI tool) and `dbb-cli` (a CLI tool), are available
through the `digitalbitbox` package which could be installed as follows:
```
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.digitalbitbox
];
```
## Hardware {#sec-digitalbitbox-hardware-module}
The digitalbitbox hardware package enables the udev rules for Digital Bitbox
devices and may be installed as follows:
```
hardware.digitalbitbox.enable = true;
```
In order to alter the udev rules, one may provide different values for the
`udevRule51` and `udevRule52` attributes by means of overriding as follows:
```
programs.digitalbitbox = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.digitalbitbox.override {
udevRule51 = "something else";
};
};
```

# Oh my ZSH {#module-programs-zsh-ohmyzsh}
[`oh-my-zsh`](https://ohmyz.sh/) is a framework to manage your [ZSH](https://www.zsh.org/)
configuration including completion scripts for several CLI tools or custom
prompt themes.
## Basic usage {#module-programs-oh-my-zsh-usage}
The module uses the `oh-my-zsh` package with all available
features. The initial setup using Nix expressions is fairly similar to the
configuration format of `oh-my-zsh`.
```
{
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh = {
enable = true;
plugins = [ "git" "python" "man" ];
theme = "agnoster";
};
}
```
For a detailed explanation of these arguments please refer to the
[`oh-my-zsh` docs](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki).
The expression generates the needed configuration and writes it into your
`/etc/zshrc`.
## Custom additions {#module-programs-oh-my-zsh-additions}
Sometimes third-party or custom scripts such as a modified theme may be
needed. `oh-my-zsh` provides the
[`ZSH_CUSTOM`](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Customization#overriding-internals)
environment variable for this which points to a directory with additional
scripts.
The module can do this as well:
```
{
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom = "~/path/to/custom/scripts";
}
```
## Custom environments {#module-programs-oh-my-zsh-environments}
There are several extensions for `oh-my-zsh` packaged in
`nixpkgs`. One of them is
[nix-zsh-completions](https://github.com/spwhitt/nix-zsh-completions)
which bundles completion scripts and a plugin for `oh-my-zsh`.
Rather than using a single mutable path for `ZSH_CUSTOM`,
it's also possible to generate this path from a list of Nix packages:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.customPkgs = [
pkgs.nix-zsh-completions
# and even more...
];
}
```
Internally a single store path will be created using
`buildEnv`. Please refer to the docs of
[`buildEnv`](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-building-environment)
for further reference.
*Please keep in mind that this is not compatible with
`programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom` as it requires an immutable
store path while `custom` shall remain mutable! An
evaluation failure will be thrown if both `custom` and
`customPkgs` are set.*
## Package your own customizations {#module-programs-oh-my-zsh-packaging-customizations}
If third-party customizations (e.g. new themes) are supposed to be added to
`oh-my-zsh` there are several pitfalls to keep in mind:
- To comply with the default structure of `ZSH` the entire
output needs to be written to `$out/share/zsh.`
- Completion scripts are supposed to be stored at
`$out/share/zsh/site-functions`. This directory is part of the
[`fpath`](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Functions.html)
and the package should be compatible with pure `ZSH`
setups. The module will automatically link the contents of
`site-functions` to completions directory in the proper
store path.
- The `plugins` directory needs the structure
`pluginname/pluginname.plugin.zsh` as structured in the
[upstream repo.](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/tree/91b771914bc7c43dd7c7a43b586c5de2c225ceb7/plugins)
A derivation for `oh-my-zsh` may look like this:
```
{ stdenv, fetchFromGitHub }:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
name = "exemplary-zsh-customization-${version}";
version = "1.0.0";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
# path to the upstream repository
};
dontBuild = true;
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/share/zsh/site-functions
cp {themes,plugins} $out/share/zsh
cp completions $out/share/zsh/site-functions
'';
}
```

# SSL/TLS Certificates with ACME {#module-security-acme}
NixOS supports automatic domain validation & certificate retrieval and
renewal using the ACME protocol. Any provider can be used, but by default
NixOS uses Let's Encrypt. The alternative ACME client
[lego](https://go-acme.github.io/lego/) is used under
the hood.
Automatic cert validation and configuration for Apache and Nginx virtual
hosts is included in NixOS, however if you would like to generate a wildcard
cert or you are not using a web server you will have to configure DNS
based validation.
## Prerequisites {#module-security-acme-prerequisites}
To use the ACME module, you must accept the provider's terms of service
by setting [](#opt-security.acme.acceptTerms)
to `true`. The Let's Encrypt ToS can be found
[here](https://letsencrypt.org/repository/).
You must also set an email address to be used when creating accounts with
Let's Encrypt. You can set this for all certs with
[](#opt-security.acme.defaults.email)
and/or on a per-cert basis with
[](#opt-security.acme.certs._name_.email).
This address is only used for registration and renewal reminders,
and cannot be used to administer the certificates in any way.
Alternatively, you can use a different ACME server by changing the
[](#opt-security.acme.defaults.server) option
to a provider of your choosing, or just change the server for one cert with
[](#opt-security.acme.certs._name_.server).
You will need an HTTP server or DNS server for verification. For HTTP,
the server must have a webroot defined that can serve
{file}`.well-known/acme-challenge`. This directory must be
writeable by the user that will run the ACME client. For DNS, you must
set up credentials with your provider/server for use with lego.
## Using ACME certificates in Nginx {#module-security-acme-nginx}
NixOS supports fetching ACME certificates for you by setting
`enableACME = true;` in a virtualHost config. We first create self-signed
placeholder certificates in place of the real ACME certs. The placeholder
certs are overwritten when the ACME certs arrive. For
`foo.example.com` the config would look like this:
```
security.acme.acceptTerms = true;
security.acme.defaults.email = "admin+acme@example.com";
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts = {
"foo.example.com" = {
forceSSL = true;
enableACME = true;
# All serverAliases will be added as extra domain names on the certificate.
serverAliases = [ "bar.example.com" ];
locations."/" = {
root = "/var/www";
};
};
# We can also add a different vhost and reuse the same certificate
# but we have to append extraDomainNames manually beforehand:
# security.acme.certs."foo.example.com".extraDomainNames = [ "baz.example.com" ];
"baz.example.com" = {
forceSSL = true;
useACMEHost = "foo.example.com";
locations."/" = {
root = "/var/www";
};
};
};
}
```
## Using ACME certificates in Apache/httpd {#module-security-acme-httpd}
Using ACME certificates with Apache virtual hosts is identical
to using them with Nginx. The attribute names are all the same, just replace
"nginx" with "httpd" where appropriate.
## Manual configuration of HTTP-01 validation {#module-security-acme-configuring}
First off you will need to set up a virtual host to serve the challenges.
This example uses a vhost called `certs.example.com`, with
the intent that you will generate certs for all your vhosts and redirect
everyone to HTTPS.
```
security.acme.acceptTerms = true;
security.acme.defaults.email = "admin+acme@example.com";
# /var/lib/acme/.challenges must be writable by the ACME user
# and readable by the Nginx user. The easiest way to achieve
# this is to add the Nginx user to the ACME group.
users.users.nginx.extraGroups = [ "acme" ];
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts = {
"acmechallenge.example.com" = {
# Catchall vhost, will redirect users to HTTPS for all vhosts
serverAliases = [ "*.example.com" ];
locations."/.well-known/acme-challenge" = {
root = "/var/lib/acme/.challenges";
};
locations."/" = {
return = "301 https://$host$request_uri";
};
};
};
}
# Alternative config for Apache
users.users.wwwrun.extraGroups = [ "acme" ];
services.httpd = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts = {
"acmechallenge.example.com" = {
# Catchall vhost, will redirect users to HTTPS for all vhosts
serverAliases = [ "*.example.com" ];
# /var/lib/acme/.challenges must be writable by the ACME user and readable by the Apache user.
# By default, this is the case.
documentRoot = "/var/lib/acme/.challenges";
extraConfig = ''
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
'';
};
};
}
```
Now you need to configure ACME to generate a certificate.
```
security.acme.certs."foo.example.com" = {
webroot = "/var/lib/acme/.challenges";
email = "foo@example.com";
# Ensure that the web server you use can read the generated certs
# Take a look at the group option for the web server you choose.
group = "nginx";
# Since we have a wildcard vhost to handle port 80,
# we can generate certs for anything!
# Just make sure your DNS resolves them.
extraDomainNames = [ "mail.example.com" ];
};
```
The private key {file}`key.pem` and certificate
{file}`fullchain.pem` will be put into
{file}`/var/lib/acme/foo.example.com`.
Refer to [](#ch-options) for all available configuration
options for the [security.acme](#opt-security.acme.certs)
module.
## Configuring ACME for DNS validation {#module-security-acme-config-dns}
This is useful if you want to generate a wildcard certificate, since
ACME servers will only hand out wildcard certs over DNS validation.
There are a number of supported DNS providers and servers you can utilise,
see the [lego docs](https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/)
for provider/server specific configuration values. For the sake of these
docs, we will provide a fully self-hosted example using bind.
```
services.bind = {
enable = true;
extraConfig = ''
include "/var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf";
'';
zones = [
rec {
name = "example.com";
file = "/var/db/bind/${name}";
master = true;
extraConfig = "allow-update { key rfc2136key.example.com.; };";
}
];
}
# Now we can configure ACME
security.acme.acceptTerms = true;
security.acme.defaults.email = "admin+acme@example.com";
security.acme.certs."example.com" = {
domain = "*.example.com";
dnsProvider = "rfc2136";
credentialsFile = "/var/lib/secrets/certs.secret";
# We don't need to wait for propagation since this is a local DNS server
dnsPropagationCheck = false;
};
```
The {file}`dnskeys.conf` and {file}`certs.secret`
must be kept secure and thus you should not keep their contents in your
Nix config. Instead, generate them one time with a systemd service:
```
systemd.services.dns-rfc2136-conf = {
requiredBy = ["acme-example.com.service" "bind.service"];
before = ["acme-example.com.service" "bind.service"];
unitConfig = {
ConditionPathExists = "!/var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf";
};
serviceConfig = {
Type = "oneshot";
UMask = 0077;
};
path = [ pkgs.bind ];
script = ''
mkdir -p /var/lib/secrets
chmod 755 /var/lib/secrets
tsig-keygen rfc2136key.example.com > /var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf
chown named:root /var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf
chmod 400 /var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf
# extract secret value from the dnskeys.conf
while read x y; do if [ "$x" = "secret" ]; then secret="''${y:1:''${#y}-3}"; fi; done < /var/lib/secrets/dnskeys.conf
cat > /var/lib/secrets/certs.secret << EOF
RFC2136_NAMESERVER='127.0.0.1:53'
RFC2136_TSIG_ALGORITHM='hmac-sha256.'
RFC2136_TSIG_KEY='rfc2136key.example.com'
RFC2136_TSIG_SECRET='$secret'
EOF
chmod 400 /var/lib/secrets/certs.secret
'';
};
```
Now you're all set to generate certs! You should monitor the first invocation
by running `systemctl start acme-example.com.service &
journalctl -fu acme-example.com.service` and watching its log output.
## Using DNS validation with web server virtual hosts {#module-security-acme-config-dns-with-vhosts}
It is possible to use DNS-01 validation with all certificates,
including those automatically configured via the Nginx/Apache
[`enableACME`](#opt-services.nginx.virtualHosts._name_.enableACME)
option. This configuration pattern is fully
supported and part of the module's test suite for Nginx + Apache.
You must follow the guide above on configuring DNS-01 validation
first, however instead of setting the options for one certificate
(e.g. [](#opt-security.acme.certs._name_.dnsProvider))
you will set them as defaults
(e.g. [](#opt-security.acme.defaults.dnsProvider)).
```
# Configure ACME appropriately
security.acme.acceptTerms = true;
security.acme.defaults.email = "admin+acme@example.com";
security.acme.defaults = {
dnsProvider = "rfc2136";
credentialsFile = "/var/lib/secrets/certs.secret";
# We don't need to wait for propagation since this is a local DNS server
dnsPropagationCheck = false;
};
# For each virtual host you would like to use DNS-01 validation with,
# set acmeRoot = null
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts = {
"foo.example.com" = {
enableACME = true;
acmeRoot = null;
};
};
}
```
And that's it! Next time your configuration is rebuilt, or when
you add a new virtualHost, it will be DNS-01 validated.
## Using ACME with services demanding root owned certificates {#module-security-acme-root-owned}
Some services refuse to start if the configured certificate files
are not owned by root. PostgreSQL and OpenSMTPD are examples of these.
There is no way to change the user the ACME module uses (it will always be
`acme`), however you can use systemd's
`LoadCredential` feature to resolve this elegantly.
Below is an example configuration for OpenSMTPD, but this pattern
can be applied to any service.
```
# Configure ACME however you like (DNS or HTTP validation), adding
# the following configuration for the relevant certificate.
# Note: You cannot use `systemctl reload` here as that would mean
# the LoadCredential configuration below would be skipped and
# the service would continue to use old certificates.
security.acme.certs."mail.example.com".postRun = ''
systemctl restart opensmtpd
'';
# Now you must augment OpenSMTPD's systemd service to load
# the certificate files.
systemd.services.opensmtpd.requires = ["acme-finished-mail.example.com.target"];
systemd.services.opensmtpd.serviceConfig.LoadCredential = let
certDir = config.security.acme.certs."mail.example.com".directory;
in [
"cert.pem:${certDir}/cert.pem"
"key.pem:${certDir}/key.pem"
];
# Finally, configure OpenSMTPD to use these certs.
services.opensmtpd = let
credsDir = "/run/credentials/opensmtpd.service";
in {
enable = true;
setSendmail = false;
serverConfiguration = ''
pki mail.example.com cert "${credsDir}/cert.pem"
pki mail.example.com key "${credsDir}/key.pem"
listen on localhost tls pki mail.example.com
action act1 relay host smtp://127.0.0.1:10027
match for local action act1
'';
};
```
## Regenerating certificates {#module-security-acme-regenerate}
Should you need to regenerate a particular certificate in a hurry, such
as when a vulnerability is found in Let's Encrypt, there is now a convenient
mechanism for doing so. Running
`systemctl clean --what=state acme-example.com.service`
will remove all certificate files and the account data for the given domain,
allowing you to then `systemctl start acme-example.com.service`
to generate fresh ones.
## Fixing JWS Verification error {#module-security-acme-fix-jws}
It is possible that your account credentials file may become corrupt and need
to be regenerated. In this scenario lego will produce the error `JWS verification error`.
The solution is to simply delete the associated accounts file and
re-run the affected service(s).
```
# Find the accounts folder for the certificate
systemctl cat acme-example.com.service | grep -Po 'accounts/[^:]*'
export accountdir="$(!!)"
# Move this folder to some place else
mv /var/lib/acme/.lego/$accountdir{,.bak}
# Recreate the folder using systemd-tmpfiles
systemd-tmpfiles --create
# Get a new account and reissue certificates
# Note: Do this for all certs that share the same account email address
systemctl start acme-example.com.service
```

You will need an HTTP server or DNS server for verification. For
HTTP, the server must have a webroot defined that can serve

Alternatively, you can use a different ACME server by changing the
<literal><xref linkend="opt-security.acme.defaults.server" /></literal> option
to a provider of your choosing, or just change the server for one cert with
<literal><xref linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.server" /></literal>.

<para>
You will need an HTTP server or DNS server for verification. For HTTP,
the server must have a webroot defined that can serve
<filename>.well-known/acme-challenge</filename>. This directory must be
writeable by the user that will run the ACME client. For DNS, you must
set up credentials with your provider/server for use with lego.

# BorgBackup {#module-borgbase}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/backup/borgbackup.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/>
[BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) (short: Borg)
is a deduplicating backup program. Optionally, it supports compression and
authenticated encryption.
The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup
data. The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily
backups since only changes are stored. The authenticated encryption technique
makes it suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets.
## Configuring {#module-services-backup-borgbackup-configuring}
A complete list of options for the Borgbase module may be found
[here](#opt-services.borgbackup.jobs).
## Basic usage for a local backup {#opt-services-backup-borgbackup-local-directory}
A very basic configuration for backing up to a locally accessible directory is:
```
{
opt.services.borgbackup.jobs = {
{ rootBackup = {
paths = "/";
exclude = [ "/nix" "/path/to/local/repo" ];
repo = "/path/to/local/repo";
doInit = true;
encryption = {
mode = "repokey";
passphrase = "secret";
};
compression = "auto,lzma";
startAt = "weekly";
};
}
};
}
```
::: {.warning}
If you do not want the passphrase to be stored in the world-readable
Nix store, use passCommand. You find an example below.
:::
## Create a borg backup server {#opt-services-backup-create-server}
You should use a different SSH key for each repository you write to,
because the specified keys are restricted to running borg serve and can only
access this single repository. You need the output of the generate pub file.
```ShellSession
# sudo ssh-keygen -N '' -t ed25519 -f /run/keys/id_ed25519_my_borg_repo
# cat /run/keys/id_ed25519_my_borg_repo
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAID78zmOyA+5uPG4Ot0hfAy+sLDPU1L4AiIoRYEIVbbQ/ root@nixos
```
Add the following snippet to your NixOS configuration:
```
{
services.borgbackup.repos = {
my_borg_repo = {
authorizedKeys = [
"ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAID78zmOyA+5uPG4Ot0hfAy+sLDPU1L4AiIoRYEIVbbQ/ root@nixos"
] ;
path = "/var/lib/my_borg_repo" ;
};
};
}
```
## Backup to the borg repository server {#opt-services-backup-borgbackup-remote-server}
The following NixOS snippet creates an hourly backup to the service
(on the host nixos) as created in the section above. We assume
that you have stored a secret passphrasse in the file
{file}`/run/keys/borgbackup_passphrase`, which should be only
accessible by root
```
{
services.borgbackup.jobs = {
backupToLocalServer = {
paths = [ "/etc/nixos" ];
doInit = true;
repo = "borg@nixos:." ;
encryption = {
mode = "repokey-blake2";
passCommand = "cat /run/keys/borgbackup_passphrase";
};
environment = { BORG_RSH = "ssh -i /run/keys/id_ed25519_my_borg_repo"; };
compression = "auto,lzma";
startAt = "hourly";
};
};
};
```
The following few commands (run as root) let you test your backup.
```
> nixos-rebuild switch
...restarting the following units: polkit.service
> systemctl restart borgbackup-job-backupToLocalServer
> sleep 10
> systemctl restart borgbackup-job-backupToLocalServer
> export BORG_PASSPHRASE=topSecrect
> borg list --rsh='ssh -i /run/keys/id_ed25519_my_borg_repo' borg@nixos:.

```
## Backup to a hosting service {#opt-services-backup-borgbackup-borgbase}
Several companies offer [(paid) hosting services](https://www.borgbackup.org/support/commercial.html)
for Borg repositories.
To backup your home directory to borgbase you have to:
- Generate a SSH key without a password, to access the remote server. E.g.
sudo ssh-keygen -N '' -t ed25519 -f /run/keys/id_ed25519_borgbase
- Create the repository on the server by following the instructions for your
hosting server.
- Initialize the repository on the server. Eg.
sudo borg init --encryption=repokey-blake2 \
-rsh "ssh -i /run/keys/id_ed25519_borgbase" \
zzz2aaaaa@zzz2aaaaa.repo.borgbase.com:repo
- Add it to your NixOS configuration, e.g.
{
services.borgbackup.jobs = {
my_Remote_Backup = {
paths = [ "/" ];
exclude = [ "/nix" "'**/.cache'" ];
repo = "zzz2aaaaa@zzz2aaaaa.repo.borgbase.com:repo";
encryption = {
mode = "repokey-blake2";
passCommand = "cat /run/keys/borgbackup_passphrase";
};
environment = { BORG_RSH = "ssh -i /run/keys/id_ed25519_borgbase"; };
compression = "auto,lzma";
startAt = "daily";
};
};
}}
## Vorta backup client for the desktop {#opt-services-backup-borgbackup-vorta}
Vorta is a backup client for macOS and Linux desktops. It integrates the
mighty BorgBackup with your desktop environment to protect your data from
disk failure, ransomware and theft.
It can be installed in NixOS e.g. by adding `pkgs.vorta`
to [](#opt-environment.systemPackages).
Details about using Vorta can be found under
[https://vorta.borgbase.com](https://vorta.borgbase.com/usage) .

# FoundationDB {#module-services-foundationdb}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/databases/foundationdb.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/>
*Maintainer:* Austin Seipp
*Available version(s):* 5.1.x, 5.2.x, 6.0.x
FoundationDB (or "FDB") is an open source, distributed, transactional
key-value store.
## Configuring and basic setup {#module-services-foundationdb-configuring}
To enable FoundationDB, add the following to your
{file}`configuration.nix`:
```
services.foundationdb.enable = true;
services.foundationdb.package = pkgs.foundationdb52; # FoundationDB 5.2.x
```
The {option}`services.foundationdb.package` option is required, and
must always be specified. Due to the fact FoundationDB network protocols and
on-disk storage formats may change between (major) versions, and upgrades
must be explicitly handled by the user, you must always manually specify
this yourself so that the NixOS module will use the proper version. Note
that minor, bugfix releases are always compatible.
After running {command}`nixos-rebuild`, you can verify whether
FoundationDB is running by executing {command}`fdbcli` (which is
added to {option}`environment.systemPackages`):
```ShellSession
$ sudo -u foundationdb fdbcli
Using cluster file `/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster'.
The database is available.
Welcome to the fdbcli. For help, type `help'.
fdb> status
Using cluster file `/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster'.
Configuration:
Redundancy mode - single
Storage engine - memory
Coordinators - 1
Cluster:
FoundationDB processes - 1
Machines - 1
Memory availability - 5.4 GB per process on machine with least available
Fault Tolerance - 0 machines
Server time - 04/20/18 15:21:14
...
fdb>
```
You can also write programs using the available client libraries. For
example, the following Python program can be run in order to grab the
cluster status, as a quick example. (This example uses
{command}`nix-shell` shebang support to automatically supply the
necessary Python modules).
```ShellSession
a@link> cat fdb-status.py
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i python -p python pythonPackages.foundationdb52
import fdb
import json
def main():
fdb.api_version(520)
db = fdb.open()
@fdb.transactional
def get_status(tr):
return str(tr['\xff\xff/status/json'])
obj = json.loads(get_status(db))
print('FoundationDB available: %s' % obj['client']['database_status']['available'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
a@link> chmod +x fdb-status.py
a@link> ./fdb-status.py
FoundationDB available: True
a@link>
```
FoundationDB is run under the {command}`foundationdb` user and group
by default, but this may be changed in the NixOS configuration. The systemd
unit {command}`foundationdb.service` controls the
{command}`fdbmonitor` process.
By default, the NixOS module for FoundationDB creates a single SSD-storage
based database for development and basic usage. This storage engine is
designed for SSDs and will perform poorly on HDDs; however it can handle far
more data than the alternative "memory" engine and is a better default
choice for most deployments. (Note that you can change the storage backend
on-the-fly for a given FoundationDB cluster using
{command}`fdbcli`.)
Furthermore, only 1 server process and 1 backup agent are started in the
default configuration. See below for more on scaling to increase this.
FoundationDB stores all data for all server processes under
{file}`/var/lib/foundationdb`. You can override this using
{option}`services.foundationdb.dataDir`, e.g.
```
services.foundationdb.dataDir = "/data/fdb";
```
Similarly, logs are stored under {file}`/var/log/foundationdb`
by default, and there is a corresponding
{option}`services.foundationdb.logDir` as well.
## Scaling processes and backup agents {#module-services-foundationdb-scaling}
Scaling the number of server processes is quite easy; simply specify
{option}`services.foundationdb.serverProcesses` to be the number of
FoundationDB worker processes that should be started on the machine.
FoundationDB worker processes typically require 4GB of RAM per-process at
minimum for good performance, so this option is set to 1 by default since
the maximum amount of RAM is unknown. You're advised to abide by this
restriction, so pick a number of processes so that each has 4GB or more.
A similar option exists in order to scale backup agent processes,
{option}`services.foundationdb.backupProcesses`. Backup agents are
not as performance/RAM sensitive, so feel free to experiment with the number
of available backup processes.
## Clustering {#module-services-foundationdb-clustering}
FoundationDB on NixOS works similarly to other Linux systems, so this
section will be brief. Please refer to the full FoundationDB documentation
for more on clustering.
FoundationDB organizes clusters using a set of
*coordinators*, which are just specially-designated
worker processes. By default, every installation of FoundationDB on NixOS
will start as its own individual cluster, with a single coordinator: the
first worker process on {command}`localhost`.
Coordinators are specified globally using the
{command}`/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster` file, which all servers and
client applications will use to find and join coordinators. Note that this
file *can not* be managed by NixOS so easily:
FoundationDB is designed so that it will rewrite the file at runtime for all
clients and nodes when cluster coordinators change, with clients
transparently handling this without intervention. It is fundamentally a
mutable file, and you should not try to manage it in any way in NixOS.
When dealing with a cluster, there are two main things you want to do:
- Add a node to the cluster for storage/compute.
- Promote an ordinary worker to a coordinator.
A node must already be a member of the cluster in order to properly be
promoted to a coordinator, so you must always add it first if you wish to
promote it.
To add a machine to a FoundationDB cluster:
- Choose one of the servers to start as the initial coordinator.
- Copy the {command}`/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster` file from this
server to all the other servers. Restart FoundationDB on all of these
other servers, so they join the cluster.
- All of these servers are now connected and working together in the
cluster, under the chosen coordinator.
At this point, you can add as many nodes as you want by just repeating the
above steps. By default there will still be a single coordinator: you can
use {command}`fdbcli` to change this and add new coordinators.
As a convenience, FoundationDB can automatically assign coordinators based
on the redundancy mode you wish to achieve for the cluster. Once all the
nodes have been joined, simply set the replication policy, and then issue
the {command}`coordinators auto` command
For example, assuming we have 3 nodes available, we can enable double
redundancy mode, then auto-select coordinators. For double redundancy, 3
coordinators is ideal: therefore FoundationDB will make
*every* node a coordinator automatically:
```ShellSession
fdbcli> configure double ssd
fdbcli> coordinators auto
```
This will transparently update all the servers within seconds, and
appropriately rewrite the {command}`fdb.cluster` file, as well as
informing all client processes to do the same.
## Client connectivity {#module-services-foundationdb-connectivity}
By default, all clients must use the current {command}`fdb.cluster`
file to access a given FoundationDB cluster. This file is located by default
in {command}`/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster` on all machines with the
FoundationDB service enabled, so you may copy the active one from your
cluster to a new node in order to connect, if it is not part of the cluster.
## Client authorization and TLS {#module-services-foundationdb-authorization}
By default, any user who can connect to a FoundationDB process with the
correct cluster configuration can access anything. FoundationDB uses a
pluggable design to transport security, and out of the box it supports a
LibreSSL-based plugin for TLS support. This plugin not only does in-flight
encryption, but also performs client authorization based on the given
endpoint's certificate chain. For example, a FoundationDB server may be
configured to only accept client connections over TLS, where the client TLS
certificate is from organization *Acme Co* in the
*Research and Development* unit.
Configuring TLS with FoundationDB is done using the
{option}`services.foundationdb.tls` options in order to control the
peer verification string, as well as the certificate and its private key.
Note that the certificate and its private key must be accessible to the
FoundationDB user account that the server runs under. These files are also
NOT managed by NixOS, as putting them into the store may reveal private
information.
After you have a key and certificate file in place, it is not enough to
simply set the NixOS module options -- you must also configure the
{command}`fdb.cluster` file to specify that a given set of
coordinators use TLS. This is as simple as adding the suffix
{command}`:tls` to your cluster coordinator configuration, after the
port number. For example, assuming you have a coordinator on localhost with
the default configuration, simply specifying:
```
XXXXXX:XXXXXX@127.0.0.1:4500:tls
```
will configure all clients and server processes to use TLS from now on.
## Backups and Disaster Recovery {#module-services-foundationdb-disaster-recovery}
The usual rules for doing FoundationDB backups apply on NixOS as written in
the FoundationDB manual. However, one important difference is the security
profile for NixOS: by default, the {command}`foundationdb` systemd
unit uses *Linux namespaces* to restrict write access to
the system, except for the log directory, data directory, and the
{command}`/etc/foundationdb/` directory. This is enforced by default
and cannot be disabled.
However, a side effect of this is that the {command}`fdbbackup`
command doesn't work properly for local filesystem backups: FoundationDB
uses a server process alongside the database processes to perform backups
and copy the backups to the filesystem. As a result, this process is put
under the restricted namespaces above: the backup process can only write to
a limited number of paths.
In order to allow flexible backup locations on local disks, the FoundationDB
NixOS module supports a
{option}`services.foundationdb.extraReadWritePaths` option. This
option takes a list of paths, and adds them to the systemd unit, allowing
the processes inside the service to write (and read) the specified
directories.
For example, to create backups in {command}`/opt/fdb-backups`, first
set up the paths in the module options:
```
services.foundationdb.extraReadWritePaths = [ "/opt/fdb-backups" ];
```
Restart the FoundationDB service, and it will now be able to write to this
directory (even if it does not yet exist.) Note: this path
*must* exist before restarting the unit. Otherwise,
systemd will not include it in the private FoundationDB namespace (and it
will not add it dynamically at runtime).
You can now perform a backup:
```ShellSession
$ sudo -u foundationdb fdbbackup start -t default -d file:///opt/fdb-backups
$ sudo -u foundationdb fdbbackup status -t default
```
## Known limitations {#module-services-foundationdb-limitations}
The FoundationDB setup for NixOS should currently be considered beta.
FoundationDB is not new software, but the NixOS compilation and integration
has only undergone fairly basic testing of all the available functionality.
- There is no way to specify individual parameters for individual
{command}`fdbserver` processes. Currently, all server processes
inherit all the global {command}`fdbmonitor` settings.
- Ruby bindings are not currently installed.
- Go bindings are not currently installed.
## Options {#module-services-foundationdb-options}
NixOS's FoundationDB module allows you to configure all of the most relevant
configuration options for {command}`fdbmonitor`, matching it quite
closely. A complete list of options for the FoundationDB module may be found
[here](#opt-services.foundationdb.enable). You should
also read the FoundationDB documentation as well.
## Full documentation {#module-services-foundationdb-full-docs}
FoundationDB is a complex piece of software, and requires careful
administration to properly use. Full documentation for administration can be
found here: <https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/>.

By default, the NixOS module for FoundationDB creates a single SSD-storage

designed for SSDs and will perform poorly on HDDs; however it can handle far

on-the-fly for a given FoundationDB cluster using

By default, any user who can connect to a FoundationDB process with the

pluggable design to transport security, and out of the box it supports a
LibreSSL-based plugin for TLS support. This plugin not only does in-flight
encryption, but also performs client authorization based on the given
endpoint's certificate chain. For example, a FoundationDB server may be
configured to only accept client connections over TLS, where the client TLS
certificate is from organization <emphasis>Acme Co</emphasis> in the

Configuring TLS with FoundationDB is done using the

Note that the certificate and its private key must be accessible to the

After you have a key and certificate file in place, it is not enough to
simply set the NixOS module options -- you must also configure the

# PostgreSQL {#module-postgresql}
<!-- FIXME: render nicely -->
<!-- FIXME: source can be added automatically -->
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/databases/postgresql.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/>
<!-- FIXME: more stuff, like maintainer? -->
PostgreSQL is an advanced, free relational database.
<!-- MORE -->
## Configuring {#module-services-postgres-configuring}
To enable PostgreSQL, add the following to your {file}`configuration.nix`:
```
services.postgresql.enable = true;
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql_11;
```
Note that you are required to specify the desired version of PostgreSQL (e.g. `pkgs.postgresql_11`). Since upgrading your PostgreSQL version requires a database dump and reload (see below), NixOS cannot provide a default value for [](#opt-services.postgresql.package) such as the most recent release of PostgreSQL.
<!--
After running {command}`nixos-rebuild`, you can verify
whether PostgreSQL works by running {command}`psql`:
```ShellSession
$ psql
psql (9.2.9)
Type "help" for help.
alice=>
```
-->
By default, PostgreSQL stores its databases in {file}`/var/lib/postgresql/$psqlSchema`. You can override this using [](#opt-services.postgresql.dataDir), e.g.
```
services.postgresql.dataDir = "/data/postgresql";
```
## Upgrading {#module-services-postgres-upgrading}
::: {.note}
The steps below demonstrate how to upgrade from an older version to `pkgs.postgresql_13`.
These instructions are also applicable to other versions.
:::
Major PostgreSQL upgrades require a downtime and a few imperative steps to be called. This is the case because
each major version has some internal changes in the databases' state during major releases. Because of that,
NixOS places the state into {file}`/var/lib/postgresql/&lt;version&gt;` where each `version`
can be obtained like this:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval -A postgresql_13.psqlSchema
"13"
```
For an upgrade, a script like this can be used to simplify the process:
```
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
environment.systemPackages = [
(let
# XXX specify the postgresql package you'd like to upgrade to.
# Do not forget to list the extensions you need.
newPostgres = pkgs.postgresql_13.withPackages (pp: [
# pp.plv8
]);
in pkgs.writeScriptBin "upgrade-pg-cluster" ''
set -eux
# XXX it's perhaps advisable to stop all services that depend on postgresql
systemctl stop postgresql
export NEWDATA="/var/lib/postgresql/${newPostgres.psqlSchema}"
export NEWBIN="${newPostgres}/bin"
export OLDDATA="${config.services.postgresql.dataDir}"
export OLDBIN="${config.services.postgresql.package}/bin"
install -d -m 0700 -o postgres -g postgres "$NEWDATA"
cd "$NEWDATA"
sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/initdb -D "$NEWDATA"
sudo -u postgres $NEWBIN/pg_upgrade \
--old-datadir "$OLDDATA" --new-datadir "$NEWDATA" \
--old-bindir $OLDBIN --new-bindir $NEWBIN \
"$@"
'')
];
}
```
The upgrade process is:
1. Rebuild nixos configuration with the configuration above added to your {file}`configuration.nix`. Alternatively, add that into separate file and reference it in `imports` list.
2. Login as root (`sudo su -`)
3. Run `upgrade-pg-cluster`. It will stop old postgresql, initialize a new one and migrate the old one to the new one. You may supply arguments like `--jobs 4` and `--link` to speedup migration process. See <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html> for details.
4. Change postgresql package in NixOS configuration to the one you were upgrading to via [](#opt-services.postgresql.package). Rebuild NixOS. This should start new postgres using upgraded data directory and all services you stopped during the upgrade.
5. After the upgrade it's advisable to analyze the new cluster.
- For PostgreSQL ≥ 14, use the `vacuumdb` command printed by the upgrades script.
- For PostgreSQL < 14, run (as `su -l postgres` in the [](#opt-services.postgresql.dataDir), in this example {file}`/var/lib/postgresql/13`):
```
$ ./analyze_new_cluster.sh
```
::: {.warning}
The next step removes the old state-directory!
:::
```
$ ./delete_old_cluster.sh
```
## Options {#module-services-postgres-options}
A complete list of options for the PostgreSQL module may be found [here](#opt-services.postgresql.enable).
## Plugins {#module-services-postgres-plugins}
Plugins collection for each PostgreSQL version can be accessed with `.pkgs`. For example, for `pkgs.postgresql_11` package, its plugin collection is accessed by `pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs`:
```ShellSession
$ nix repl '<nixpkgs>'
Loading '<nixpkgs>'...
Added 10574 variables.
nix-repl> postgresql_11.pkgs.<TAB><TAB>
postgresql_11.pkgs.cstore_fdw postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_repack
postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_auto_failover postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_safeupdate
postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_bigm postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_similarity
postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_cron postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_topn
postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_hll postgresql_11.pkgs.pgjwt
postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_partman postgresql_11.pkgs.pgroonga
...
```
To add plugins via NixOS configuration, set `services.postgresql.extraPlugins`:
```
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql_11;
services.postgresql.extraPlugins = with pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs; [
pg_repack
postgis
];
```
You can build custom PostgreSQL-with-plugins (to be used outside of NixOS) using function `.withPackages`. For example, creating a custom PostgreSQL package in an overlay can look like:
```
self: super: {
postgresql_custom = self.postgresql_11.withPackages (ps: [
ps.pg_repack
ps.postgis
]);
}
```
Here's a recipe on how to override a particular plugin through an overlay:

# Flatpak {#module-services-flatpak}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/desktop/flatpak.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki>
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop
applications on Linux.
To enable Flatpak, add the following to your {file}`configuration.nix`:
```
services.flatpak.enable = true;
```
For the sandboxed apps to work correctly, desktop integration portals need to
be installed. If you run GNOME, this will be handled automatically for you;
in other cases, you will need to add something like the following to your
{file}`configuration.nix`:
```
xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
```
Then, you will need to add a repository, for example,
[Flathub](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki),
either using the following commands:
```ShellSession
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak update
```
or by opening the
[repository file](https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo) in GNOME Software.
Finally, you can search and install programs:
```ShellSession
$ flatpak search bustle
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Bustle
$ flatpak run org.freedesktop.Bustle
```
Again, GNOME Software offers graphical interface for these tasks.

# Blackfire profiler {#module-services-blackfire}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/development/blackfire.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://blackfire.io/docs/introduction>
[Blackfire](https://blackfire.io) is a proprietary tool for profiling applications. There are several languages supported by the product but currently only PHP support is packaged in Nixpkgs. The back-end consists of a module that is loaded into the language runtime (called *probe*) and a service (*agent*) that the probe connects to and that sends the profiles to the server.
To use it, you will need to enable the agent and the probe on your server. The exact method will depend on the way you use PHP but here is an example of NixOS configuration for PHP-FPM:
```
let
php = pkgs.php.withExtensions ({ enabled, all }: enabled ++ (with all; [
blackfire
]));
in {
# Enable the probe extension for PHP-FPM.
services.phpfpm = {
phpPackage = php;
};
# Enable and configure the agent.
services.blackfire-agent = {
enable = true;
settings = {
# You will need to get credentials at https://blackfire.io/my/settings/credentials
# You can also use other options described in https://blackfire.io/docs/up-and-running/configuration/agent
server-id = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX";
server-token = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
};
};
# Make the agent run on start-up.
# (WantedBy= from the upstream unit not respected: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/81138)
# Alternately, you can start it manually with `systemctl start blackfire-agent`.
systemd.services.blackfire-agent.wantedBy = [ "phpfpm-foo.service" ];
}
```
On your developer machine, you will also want to install [the client](https://blackfire.io/docs/up-and-running/installation#install-a-profiling-client) (see `blackfire` package) or the browser extension to actually trigger the profiling.

[Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) is an
extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor — and
more. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp
programming language with extensions to support text editing.
Emacs runs within a graphical desktop environment using the X Window System,
but works equally well on a text terminal. Under
macOS, a "Mac port" edition is available, which
uses Apple's native GUI frameworks.
Nixpkgs provides a superior environment for
running Emacs. It's simple to create custom builds
by overriding the default packages. Chaotic collections of Emacs Lisp code
and extensions can be brought under control using declarative package
management. NixOS even provides a
{command}`systemd` user service for automatically starting the Emacs
daemon.
## Installing Emacs {#module-services-emacs-installing}
Emacs can be installed in the normal way for Nix (see
[](#sec-package-management)). In addition, a NixOS
*service* can be enabled.
### The Different Releases of Emacs {#module-services-emacs-releases}
Nixpkgs defines several basic Emacs packages.
The following are attributes belonging to the {var}`pkgs` set:
{var}`emacs`
: The latest stable version of Emacs using the [GTK 2](http://www.gtk.org)
widget toolkit.
{var}`emacs-nox`
: Emacs built without any dependency on X11 libraries.
{var}`emacsMacport`
: Emacs with the "Mac port" patches, providing a more native look and
feel under macOS.
If those aren't suitable, then the following imitation Emacs editors are
also available in Nixpkgs:
[Zile](https://www.gnu.org/software/zile/),
[mg](http://homepage.boetes.org/software/mg/),
[Yi](http://yi-editor.github.io/),
[jmacs](https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/).
### Adding Packages to Emacs {#module-services-emacs-adding-packages}
Emacs includes an entire ecosystem of functionality beyond text editing,
including a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface,
calendar, and more.
Most extensions are gotten with the Emacs packaging system
({file}`package.el`) from
[Emacs Lisp Package Archive (ELPA)](https://elpa.gnu.org/),
[MELPA](https://melpa.org/),
[MELPA Stable](https://stable.melpa.org/), and
[Org ELPA](http://orgmode.org/elpa.html). Nixpkgs is
regularly updated to mirror all these archives.
Under NixOS, you can continue to use
`package-list-packages` and
`package-install` to install packages. You can also
declare the set of Emacs packages you need using the derivations from
Nixpkgs. The rest of this section discusses declarative installation of
Emacs packages through nixpkgs.
The first step to declare the list of packages you want in your Emacs
installation is to create a dedicated derivation. This can be done in a
dedicated {file}`emacs.nix` file such as:
[]{#ex-emacsNix}
```nix
/*
This is a nix expression to build Emacs and some Emacs packages I like
from source on any distribution where Nix is installed. This will install
all the dependencies from the nixpkgs repository and build the binary files
without interfering with the host distribution.
To build the project, type the following from the current directory:
$ nix-build emacs.nix
To run the newly compiled executable:
$ ./result/bin/emacs
*/
# The first non-comment line in this file indicates that
# the whole file represents a function.
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
let
# The let expression below defines a myEmacs binding pointing to the
# current stable version of Emacs. This binding is here to separate
# the choice of the Emacs binary from the specification of the
# required packages.
myEmacs = pkgs.emacs;
# This generates an emacsWithPackages function. It takes a single
# argument: a function from a package set to a list of packages
# (the packages that will be available in Emacs).
emacsWithPackages = (pkgs.emacsPackagesFor myEmacs).emacsWithPackages;
in
# The rest of the file specifies the list of packages to install. In the
# example, two packages (magit and zerodark-theme) are taken from
# MELPA stable.
emacsWithPackages (epkgs: (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [
magit # ; Integrate git <C-x g>
zerodark-theme # ; Nicolas' theme
])
# Two packages (undo-tree and zoom-frm) are taken from MELPA.
++ (with epkgs.melpaPackages; [
undo-tree # ; <C-x u> to show the undo tree
zoom-frm # ; increase/decrease font size for all buffers %lt;C-x C-+>
])
# Three packages are taken from GNU ELPA.
++ (with epkgs.elpaPackages; [
auctex # ; LaTeX mode
beacon # ; highlight my cursor when scrolling
nameless # ; hide current package name everywhere in elisp code
])
# notmuch is taken from a nixpkgs derivation which contains an Emacs mode.
++ [
pkgs.notmuch # From main packages set
])
```
The result of this configuration will be an {command}`emacs`
command which launches Emacs with all of your chosen packages in the
{var}`load-path`.
You can check that it works by executing this in a terminal:
```ShellSession
$ nix-build emacs.nix
$ ./result/bin/emacs -q
```
and then typing `M-x package-initialize`. Check that you
can use all the packages you want in this Emacs instance. For example, try
switching to the zerodark theme through `M-x load-theme <RET> zerodark <RET> y`.
::: {.tip}
A few popular extensions worth checking out are: auctex, company,
edit-server, flycheck, helm, iedit, magit, multiple-cursors, projectile,
and yasnippet.
:::
The list of available packages in the various ELPA repositories can be seen
with the following commands:
[]{#module-services-emacs-querying-packages}
```
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A emacs.pkgs.elpaPackages
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A emacs.pkgs.melpaPackages
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A emacs.pkgs.melpaStablePackages
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A emacs.pkgs.orgPackages
```
If you are on NixOS, you can install this particular Emacs for all users by
adding it to the list of system packages (see
[](#sec-declarative-package-mgmt)). Simply modify your file
{file}`configuration.nix` to make it contain:
[]{#module-services-emacs-configuration-nix}
```
{
environment.systemPackages = [
# [...]
(import /path/to/emacs.nix { inherit pkgs; })
];
}
```
In this case, the next {command}`nixos-rebuild switch` will take
care of adding your {command}`emacs` to the {var}`PATH`
environment variable (see [](#sec-changing-config)).
<!-- fixme: i think the following is better done with config.nix
https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-modify-via-packageOverrides
-->
If you are not on NixOS or want to install this particular Emacs only for
yourself, you can do so by adding it to your
{file}`~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` (see
[Nixpkgs manual](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-modify-via-packageOverrides)):
[]{#module-services-emacs-config-nix}
```
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in {
myemacs = import /path/to/emacs.nix { pkgs = self; };
};
}
```
In this case, the next `nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA
myemacs` will take care of adding your emacs to the
{var}`PATH` environment variable.
### Advanced Emacs Configuration {#module-services-emacs-advanced}
If you want, you can tweak the Emacs package itself from your
{file}`emacs.nix`. For example, if you want to have a
GTK 3-based Emacs instead of the default GTK 2-based binary and remove the
automatically generated {file}`emacs.desktop` (useful if you
only use {command}`emacsclient`), you can change your file
{file}`emacs.nix` in this way:
[]{#ex-emacsGtk3Nix}
```
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
let
myEmacs = (pkgs.emacs.override {
# Use gtk3 instead of the default gtk2
withGTK3 = true;
withGTK2 = false;
}).overrideAttrs (attrs: {
# I don't want emacs.desktop file because I only use
# emacsclient.
postInstall = (attrs.postInstall or "") + ''
rm $out/share/applications/emacs.desktop
'';
});
in [...]
```
After building this file as shown in [the example above](#ex-emacsNix), you
will get an GTK 3-based Emacs binary pre-loaded with your favorite packages.
## Running Emacs as a Service {#module-services-emacs-running}
NixOS provides an optional
{command}`systemd` service which launches
[Emacs daemon](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html)
with the user's login session.
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/editors/emacs.nix`
### Enabling the Service {#module-services-emacs-enabling}
To install and enable the {command}`systemd` user service for Emacs
daemon, add the following to your {file}`configuration.nix`:
```
services.emacs.enable = true;
services.emacs.package = import /home/cassou/.emacs.d { pkgs = pkgs; };
```
The {var}`services.emacs.package` option allows a custom
derivation to be used, for example, one created by
`emacsWithPackages`.
Ensure that the Emacs server is enabled for your user's Emacs
configuration, either by customizing the {var}`server-mode`
variable, or by adding `(server-start)` to
{file}`~/.emacs.d/init.el`.
To start the daemon, execute the following:
```ShellSession
$ nixos-rebuild switch # to activate the new configuration.nix
$ systemctl --user daemon-reload # to force systemd reload
$ systemctl --user start emacs.service # to start the Emacs daemon
```
The server should now be ready to serve Emacs clients.
### Starting the client {#module-services-emacs-starting-client}
Ensure that the emacs server is enabled, either by customizing the
{var}`server-mode` variable, or by adding
`(server-start)` to {file}`~/.emacs`.
To connect to the emacs daemon, run one of the following:
```
emacsclient FILENAME
emacsclient --create-frame # opens a new frame (window)
emacsclient --create-frame --tty # opens a new frame on the current terminal
```
### Configuring the {var}`EDITOR` variable {#module-services-emacs-editor-variable}
<!--<title>{command}`emacsclient` as the Default Editor</title>-->
If [](#opt-services.emacs.defaultEditor) is
`true`, the {var}`EDITOR` variable will be set
to a wrapper script which launches {command}`emacsclient`.
Any setting of {var}`EDITOR` in the shell config files will
override {var}`services.emacs.defaultEditor`. To make sure
{var}`EDITOR` refers to the Emacs wrapper script, remove any
existing {var}`EDITOR` assignment from
{file}`.profile`, {file}`.bashrc`,
{file}`.zshenv` or any other shell config file.
If you have formed certain bad habits when editing files, these can be
corrected with a shell alias to the wrapper script:
```
alias vi=$EDITOR
```
### Per-User Enabling of the Service {#module-services-emacs-per-user}
In general, {command}`systemd` user services are globally enabled
by symlinks in {file}`/etc/systemd/user`. In the case where
Emacs daemon is not wanted for all users, it is possible to install the
service but not globally enable it:
```
services.emacs.enable = false;
services.emacs.install = true;
```
To enable the {command}`systemd` user service for just the
currently logged in user, run:
```
systemctl --user enable emacs
```
This will add the symlink
{file}`~/.config/systemd/user/emacs.service`.
## Configuring Emacs {#module-services-emacs-configuring}
The Emacs init file should be changed to load the extension packages at
startup:
[]{#module-services-emacs-package-initialisation}
```
(require 'package)
;; optional. makes unpure packages archives unavailable
(setq package-archives nil)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(package-initialize)
```
After the declarative emacs package configuration has been tested,
previously downloaded packages can be cleaned up by removing
{file}`~/.emacs.d/elpa` (do make a backup first, in case you
forgot a package).
<!--
todo: is it worth documenting customizations for
server-switch-hook, server-done-hook?
-->
### A Major Mode for Nix Expressions {#module-services-emacs-major-mode}
Of interest may be {var}`melpaPackages.nix-mode`, which
provides syntax highlighting for the Nix language. This is particularly
convenient if you regularly edit Nix files.
### Accessing man pages {#module-services-emacs-man-pages}
You can use `woman` to get completion of all available
man pages. For example, type `M-x woman <RET> nixos-rebuild <RET>.`
### Editing DocBook 5 XML Documents {#sec-emacs-docbook-xml}
Emacs includes
[nXML](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/nxml-mode/Introduction.html),
a major-mode for validating and editing XML documents. When editing DocBook
5.0 documents, such as [this one](#book-nixos-manual),
nXML needs to be configured with the relevant schema, which is not
included.
To install the DocBook 5.0 schemas, either add
{var}`pkgs.docbook5` to [](#opt-environment.systemPackages)
([NixOS](#sec-declarative-package-mgmt)), or run
`nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA docbook5`
([Nix](#sec-ad-hoc-packages)).
Then customize the variable {var}`rng-schema-locating-files` to
include {file}`~/.emacs.d/schemas.xml` and put the following
text into that file:
[]{#ex-emacs-docbook-xml}
```xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
To let emacs find this file, evaluate:
(add-to-list 'rng-schema-locating-files "~/.emacs.d/schemas.xml")
-->
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<!--
Use this variation if pkgs.docbook5 is added to environment.systemPackages
-->
<namespace ns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
uri="/run/current-system/sw/share/xml/docbook-5.0/rng/docbookxi.rnc"/>
<!--
Use this variation if installing schema with "nix-env -iA pkgs.docbook5".
<namespace ns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
uri="../.nix-profile/share/xml/docbook-5.0/rng/docbookxi.rnc"/>
-->
</locatingRules>

# Mailman {#module-services-mailman}
[Mailman](https://www.list.org) is free
software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter
lists. Mailman and its web interface can be configured using the
corresponding NixOS module. Note that this service is best used with
an existing, securely configured Postfix setup, as it does not automatically configure this.
## Basic usage with Postfix {#module-services-mailman-basic-usage}
For a basic configuration with Postfix as the MTA, the following settings are suggested:
```
{ config, ... }: {
services.postfix = {
enable = true;
relayDomains = ["hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_domains"];
sslCert = config.security.acme.certs."lists.example.org".directory + "/full.pem";
sslKey = config.security.acme.certs."lists.example.org".directory + "/key.pem";
config = {
transport_maps = ["hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_lmtp"];
local_recipient_maps = ["hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/postfix_lmtp"];
};
};
services.mailman = {
enable = true;
serve.enable = true;
hyperkitty.enable = true;
webHosts = ["lists.example.org"];
siteOwner = "mailman@example.org";
};
services.nginx.virtualHosts."lists.example.org".enableACME = true;
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 25 80 443 ];
}
```
DNS records will also be required:
- `AAAA` and `A` records pointing to the host in question, in order for browsers to be able to discover the address of the web server;
- An `MX` record pointing to a domain name at which the host is reachable, in order for other mail servers to be able to deliver emails to the mailing lists it hosts.
After this has been done and appropriate DNS records have been
set up, the Postorius mailing list manager and the Hyperkitty
archive browser will be available at
https://lists.example.org/. Note that this setup is not
sufficient to deliver emails to most email providers nor to
avoid spam -- a number of additional measures for authenticating
incoming and outgoing mails, such as SPF, DMARC and DKIM are
necessary, but outside the scope of the Mailman module.
## Using with other MTAs {#module-services-mailman-other-mtas}
Mailman also supports other MTA, though with a little bit more configuration. For example, to use Mailman with Exim, you can use the following settings:
```
{ config, ... }: {
services = {
mailman = {
enable = true;
siteOwner = "mailman@example.org";
enablePostfix = false;
settings.mta = {
incoming = "mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP";
outgoing = "mailman.mta.deliver.deliver";
lmtp_host = "localhost";
lmtp_port = "8024";
smtp_host = "localhost";
smtp_port = "25";
configuration = "python:mailman.config.exim4";
};
};
exim = {
enable = true;
# You can configure Exim in a separate file to reduce configuration.nix clutter
config = builtins.readFile ./exim.conf;
};
};
}
```
The exim config needs some special additions to work with Mailman. Currently
NixOS can't manage Exim config with such granularity. Please refer to
[Mailman documentation](https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.html)
for more info on configuring Mailman for working with Exim.

# Mjolnir (Matrix Moderation Tool) {#module-services-mjolnir}
This chapter will show you how to set up your own, self-hosted
[Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) instance.
As an all-in-one moderation tool, it can protect your server from
malicious invites, spam messages, and whatever else you don't want.
In addition to server-level protection, Mjolnir is great for communities
wanting to protect their rooms without having to use their personal
accounts for moderation.
The bot by default includes support for bans, redactions, anti-spam,
server ACLs, room directory changes, room alias transfers, account
deactivation, room shutdown, and more.
See the [README](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir#readme)
page and the [Moderator's guide](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/docs/moderators.md)
for additional instructions on how to setup and use Mjolnir.
For [additional settings](#opt-services.mjolnir.settings)
see [the default configuration](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/config/default.yaml).
## Mjolnir Setup {#module-services-mjolnir-setup}
First create a new Room which will be used as a management room for Mjolnir. In
this room, Mjolnir will log possible errors and debugging information. You'll
need to set this Room-ID in [services.mjolnir.managementRoom](#opt-services.mjolnir.managementRoom).
Next, create a new user for Mjolnir on your homeserver, if not present already.
The Mjolnir Matrix user expects to be free of any rate limiting.
See [Synapse #6286](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6286)
for an example on how to achieve this.
If you want Mjolnir to be able to deactivate users, move room aliases, shutdown rooms, etc.
you'll need to make the Mjolnir user a Matrix server admin.
Now invite the Mjolnir user to the management room.
It is recommended to use [Pantalaimon](https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon),
so your management room can be encrypted. This also applies if you are looking to moderate an encrypted room.
To enable the Pantalaimon E2E Proxy for mjolnir, enable
[services.mjolnir.pantalaimon](#opt-services.mjolnir.pantalaimon.enable). This will
autoconfigure a new Pantalaimon instance, which will connect to the homeserver
set in [services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl](#opt-services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl) and Mjolnir itself
will be configured to connect to the new Pantalaimon instance.
```
{
services.mjolnir = {
enable = true;
homeserverUrl = "https://matrix.domain.tld";
pantalaimon = {
enable = true;
username = "mjolnir";
passwordFile = "/run/secrets/mjolnir-password";
};
protectedRooms = [
"https://matrix.to/#/!xxx:domain.tld"
];
managementRoom = "!yyy:domain.tld";
};
}
```
### Element Matrix Services (EMS) {#module-services-mjolnir-setup-ems}
If you are using a managed ["Element Matrix Services (EMS)"](https://ems.element.io/)
server, you will need to consent to the terms and conditions. Upon startup, an error
log entry with a URL to the consent page will be generated.
## Synapse Antispam Module {#module-services-mjolnir-matrix-synapse-antispam}
A Synapse module is also available to apply the same rulesets the bot
uses across an entire homeserver.
To use the Antispam Module, add `matrix-synapse-plugins.matrix-synapse-mjolnir-antispam`
to the Synapse plugin list and enable the `mjolnir.Module` module.
```
{
services.matrix-synapse = {
plugins = with pkgs; [
matrix-synapse-plugins.matrix-synapse-mjolnir-antispam
];
extraConfig = ''
modules:
- module: mjolnir.Module
config:
# Prevent servers/users in the ban lists from inviting users on this
# server to rooms. Default true.
block_invites: true
# Flag messages sent by servers/users in the ban lists as spam. Currently
# this means that spammy messages will appear as empty to users. Default
# false.
block_messages: false
# Remove users from the user directory search by filtering matrix IDs and
# display names by the entries in the user ban list. Default false.
block_usernames: false
# The room IDs of the ban lists to honour. Unlike other parts of Mjolnir,
# this list cannot be room aliases or permalinks. This server is expected
# to already be joined to the room - Mjolnir will not automatically join
# these rooms.
ban_lists:
- "!roomid:example.org"
'';
};
}
```

# Matrix {#module-services-matrix}
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is an open standard for
interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication over IP. It can be used
to power Instant Messaging, VoIP/WebRTC signalling, Internet of Things
communication - or anywhere you need a standard HTTP API for publishing and
subscribing to data whilst tracking the conversation history.
This chapter will show you how to set up your own, self-hosted Matrix
homeserver using the Synapse reference homeserver, and how to serve your own
copy of the Element web client. See the
[Try Matrix Now!](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html)
overview page for links to Element Apps for Android and iOS,
desktop clients, as well as bridges to other networks and other projects
around Matrix.
## Synapse Homeserver {#module-services-matrix-synapse}
[Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) is
the reference homeserver implementation of Matrix from the core development
team at matrix.org. The following configuration example will set up a
synapse server for the `example.org` domain, served from
the host `myhostname.example.org`. For more information,
please refer to the
[installation instructions of Synapse](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html) .

tls = false;
x_forwarded = true;
resources = [ {
names = [ "client" "federation" ];
compress = true;
} ];
}
];
};
}
```
## Registering Matrix users {#module-services-matrix-register-users}
If you want to run a server with public registration by anybody, you can
then enable `services.matrix-synapse.settings.enable_registration = true;`.
Otherwise, or you can generate a registration secret with
{command}`pwgen -s 64 1` and set it with
[](#opt-services.matrix-synapse.settings.registration_shared_secret).
To create a new user or admin, run the following after you have set the secret
and have rebuilt NixOS:
```ShellSession
$ nix-shell -p matrix-synapse
$ register_new_matrix_user -k your-registration-shared-secret http://localhost:8008
New user localpart: your-username
Password:
Confirm password:
Make admin [no]:
Success!
```
In the example, this would create a user with the Matrix Identifier
`@your-username:example.org`.
::: {.warning}
When using [](#opt-services.matrix-synapse.settings.registration_shared_secret), the secret
will end up in the world-readable store. Instead it's recommended to deploy the secret
in an additional file like this:
- Create a file with the following contents:
```
registration_shared_secret: your-very-secret-secret
```
- Deploy the file with a secret-manager such as
[{option}`deployment.keys`](https://nixops.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html#managing-keys)
from {manpage}`nixops(1)` or [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix/) to
e.g. {file}`/run/secrets/matrix-shared-secret` and ensure that it's readable
by `matrix-synapse`.
- Include the file like this in your configuration:
```
{
services.matrix-synapse.extraConfigFiles = [
"/run/secrets/matrix-shared-secret"
];
}
```
:::
::: {.note}
It's also possible to user alternative authentication mechanism such as
[LDAP (via `matrix-synapse-ldap3`)](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3)
or [OpenID](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/openid.html).
:::
## Element (formerly known as Riot) Web Client {#module-services-matrix-element-web}
[Element Web](https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/) is
the reference web client for Matrix and developed by the core team at
matrix.org. Element was formerly known as Riot.im, see the
[Element introductory blog post](https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/)
for more information. The following snippet can be optionally added to the code before
to complete the synapse installation with a web client served at
`https://element.myhostname.example.org` and
`https://element.example.org`. Alternatively, you can use the hosted
copy at <https://app.element.io/>,
or use other web clients or native client applications. Due to the
`/.well-known` urls set up done above, many clients should
fill in the required connection details automatically when you enter your
Matrix Identifier. See
[Try Matrix Now!](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html)
for a list of existing clients and their supported featureset.
```
{
services.nginx.virtualHosts."element.${fqdn}" = {
enableACME = true;
forceSSL = true;
serverAliases = [
"element.${config.networking.domain}"
];
root = pkgs.element-web.override {
conf = {
default_server_config = clientConfig; # see `clientConfig` from the snippet above.
};
};
};
}
```
::: {.note}
The Element developers do not recommend running Element and your Matrix
homeserver on the same fully-qualified domain name for security reasons. In
the example, this means that you should not reuse the
`myhostname.example.org` virtualHost to also serve Element,
but instead serve it on a different subdomain, like
`element.example.org` in the example. See the
[Element Important Security Notes](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/tree/v1.10.0#important-security-notes)
for more information on this subject.

# GitLab {#module-services-gitlab}
GitLab is a feature-rich git hosting service.
## Prerequisites {#module-services-gitlab-prerequisites}
The `gitlab` service exposes only an Unix socket at
`/run/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse.socket`. You need to
configure a webserver to proxy HTTP requests to the socket.
For instance, the following configuration could be used to use nginx as
frontend proxy:
```
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
virtualHosts."git.example.com" = {
enableACME = true;
forceSSL = true;
locations."/".proxyPass = "http://unix:/run/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse.socket";
};
};
```
## Configuring {#module-services-gitlab-configuring}
GitLab depends on both PostgreSQL and Redis and will automatically enable
both services. In the case of PostgreSQL, a database and a role will be
created.
The default state dir is `/var/gitlab/state`. This is where
all data like the repositories and uploads will be stored.
A basic configuration with some custom settings could look like this:
```
services.gitlab = {
enable = true;
databasePasswordFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/db_password";
initialRootPasswordFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/root_password";
https = true;
host = "git.example.com";
port = 443;
user = "git";
group = "git";
smtp = {
enable = true;
address = "localhost";
port = 25;
};
secrets = {
dbFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/db";
secretFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/secret";
otpFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/otp";
jwsFile = "/var/keys/gitlab/jws";
};
extraConfig = {
gitlab = {
email_from = "gitlab-no-reply@example.com";
email_display_name = "Example GitLab";
email_reply_to = "gitlab-no-reply@example.com";
default_projects_features = { builds = false; };
};
};
};
```
If you're setting up a new GitLab instance, generate new
secrets. You for instance use
`tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 128 > /var/keys/gitlab/db` to
generate a new db secret. Make sure the files can be read by, and
only by, the user specified by
[services.gitlab.user](#opt-services.gitlab.user). GitLab
encrypts sensitive data stored in the database. If you're restoring
an existing GitLab instance, you must specify the secrets secret
from `config/secrets.yml` located in your GitLab
state folder.
When `incoming_mail.enabled` is set to `true`
in [extraConfig](#opt-services.gitlab.extraConfig) an additional
service called `gitlab-mailroom` is enabled for fetching incoming mail.
Refer to [](#ch-options) for all available configuration
options for the [services.gitlab](#opt-services.gitlab.enable) module.
## Maintenance {#module-services-gitlab-maintenance}
### Backups {#module-services-gitlab-maintenance-backups}
Backups can be configured with the options in
[services.gitlab.backup](#opt-services.gitlab.backup.keepTime). Use
the [services.gitlab.backup.startAt](#opt-services.gitlab.backup.startAt)
option to configure regular backups.
To run a manual backup, start the `gitlab-backup` service:
```ShellSession
$ systemctl start gitlab-backup.service
```
### Rake tasks {#module-services-gitlab-maintenance-rake}
You can run GitLab's rake tasks with `gitlab-rake`
which will be available on the system when GitLab is enabled. You
will have to run the command as the user that you configured to run
GitLab with.
A list of all available rake tasks can be obtained by running:
```ShellSession
$ sudo -u git -H gitlab-rake -T
```

# Sourcehut {#module-services-sourcehut}
[Sourcehut](https://sr.ht.com/) is an open-source,
self-hostable software development platform. The server setup can be automated using
[services.sourcehut](#opt-services.sourcehut.enable).
## Basic usage {#module-services-sourcehut-basic-usage}
Sourcehut is a Python and Go based set of applications.
This NixOS module also provides basic configuration integrating Sourcehut into locally running
`services.nginx`, `services.redis.servers.sourcehut`, `services.postfix`
and `services.postgresql` services.
A very basic configuration may look like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
let
fqdn =
let
join = hostName: domain: hostName + optionalString (domain != null) ".${domain}";
in join config.networking.hostName config.networking.domain;
in {
networking = {
hostName = "srht";
domain = "tld";
firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 22 80 443 ];
};
services.sourcehut = {
enable = true;
git.enable = true;
man.enable = true;
meta.enable = true;
nginx.enable = true;
postfix.enable = true;
postgresql.enable = true;
redis.enable = true;
settings = {
"sr.ht" = {
environment = "production";
global-domain = fqdn;
origin = "https://${fqdn}";
# Produce keys with srht-keygen from sourcehut.coresrht.
network-key = "/run/keys/path/to/network-key";
service-key = "/run/keys/path/to/service-key";
};
webhooks.private-key= "/run/keys/path/to/webhook-key";
};
};
security.acme.certs."${fqdn}".extraDomainNames = [
"meta.${fqdn}"
"man.${fqdn}"
"git.${fqdn}"
];
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
# only recommendedProxySettings are strictly required, but the rest make sense as well.
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
# Settings to setup what certificates are used for which endpoint.
virtualHosts = {
"${fqdn}".enableACME = true;
"meta.${fqdn}".useACMEHost = fqdn:
"man.${fqdn}".useACMEHost = fqdn:
"git.${fqdn}".useACMEHost = fqdn:
};
};
}
```
The `hostName` option is used internally to configure the nginx
reverse-proxy. The `settings` attribute set is
used by the configuration generator and the result is placed in `/etc/sr.ht/config.ini`.
## Configuration {#module-services-sourcehut-configuration}
All configuration parameters are also stored in
`/etc/sr.ht/config.ini` which is generated by
the module and linked from the store to ensure that all values from `config.ini`
can be modified by the module.
## Using an alternative webserver as reverse-proxy (e.g. `httpd`) {#module-services-sourcehut-httpd}
By default, `nginx` is used as reverse-proxy for `sourcehut`.
However, it's possible to use e.g. `httpd` by explicitly disabling
`nginx` using [](#opt-services.nginx.enable) and fixing the
`settings`.

# Taskserver {#module-services-taskserver}
Taskserver is the server component of
[Taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/), a free and
open source todo list application.
*Upstream documentation:* <https://taskwarrior.org/docs/#taskd>
## Configuration {#module-services-taskserver-configuration}
Taskserver does all of its authentication via TLS using client certificates,
so you either need to roll your own CA or purchase a certificate from a
known CA, which allows creation of client certificates. These certificates
are usually advertised as "server certificates".
So in order to make it easier to handle your own CA, there is a helper tool
called {command}`nixos-taskserver` which manages the custom CA along
with Taskserver organisations, users and groups.
While the client certificates in Taskserver only authenticate whether a user
is allowed to connect, every user has its own UUID which identifies it as an
entity.
With {command}`nixos-taskserver` the client certificate is created
along with the UUID of the user, so it handles all of the credentials needed
in order to setup the Taskwarrior client to work with a Taskserver.
## The nixos-taskserver tool {#module-services-taskserver-nixos-taskserver-tool}
Because Taskserver by default only provides scripts to setup users
imperatively, the {command}`nixos-taskserver` tool is used for
addition and deletion of organisations along with users and groups defined
by [](#opt-services.taskserver.organisations) and as well for
imperative set up.
The tool is designed to not interfere if the command is used to manually set
up some organisations, users or groups.
For example if you add a new organisation using {command}`nixos-taskserver
org add foo`, the organisation is not modified and deleted no
matter what you define in
{option}`services.taskserver.organisations`, even if you're adding
the same organisation in that option.
The tool is modelled to imitate the official {command}`taskd`
command, documentation for each subcommand can be shown by using the
{option}`--help` switch.
## Declarative/automatic CA management {#module-services-taskserver-declarative-ca-management}
Everything is done according to what you specify in the module options,
however in order to set up a Taskwarrior client for synchronisation with a
Taskserver instance, you have to transfer the keys and certificates to the
client machine.
This is done using {command}`nixos-taskserver user export $orgname
$username` which is printing a shell script fragment to stdout
which can either be used verbatim or adjusted to import the user on the
client machine.
For example, let's say you have the following configuration:
```ShellSession
{
services.taskserver.enable = true;
services.taskserver.fqdn = "server";
services.taskserver.listenHost = "::";
services.taskserver.organisations.my-company.users = [ "alice" ];
}
```
This creates an organisation called `my-company` with the
user `alice`.
Now in order to import the `alice` user to another machine
`alicebox`, all we need to do is something like this:
```ShellSession
$ ssh server nixos-taskserver user export my-company alice | sh
```
Of course, if no SSH daemon is available on the server you can also copy
&amp; paste it directly into a shell.
After this step the user should be set up and you can start synchronising
your tasks for the first time with {command}`task sync init` on
`alicebox`.
Subsequent synchronisation requests merely require the command {command}`task
sync` after that stage.
## Manual CA management {#module-services-taskserver-manual-ca-management}
If you set any options within
[service.taskserver.pki.manual](#opt-services.taskserver.pki.manual.ca.cert).*,
{command}`nixos-taskserver` won't issue certificates, but you can
still use it for adding or removing user accounts.

# WeeChat {#module-services-weechat}
[WeeChat](https://weechat.org/) is a fast and
extensible IRC client.
## Basic Usage {#module-services-weechat-basic-usage}
By default, the module creates a
[`systemd`](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)
unit which runs the chat client in a detached
[`screen`](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/)
session.
This can be done by enabling the `weechat` service:
```
{ ... }:
{
services.weechat.enable = true;
}
```
The service is managed by a dedicated user named `weechat`
in the state directory `/var/lib/weechat`.
## Re-attaching to WeeChat {#module-services-weechat-reattach}
WeeChat runs in a screen session owned by a dedicated user. To explicitly
allow your another user to attach to this session, the
`screenrc` needs to be tweaked by adding
[multiuser](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Multiuser.html#Multiuser)
support:
```
{
programs.screen.screenrc = ''
multiuser on
acladd normal_user
'';
}
```
Now, the session can be re-attached like this:
```
screen -x weechat/weechat-screen
```
*The session name can be changed using [services.weechat.sessionName.](options.html#opt-services.weechat.sessionName)*

# Prometheus exporters {#module-services-prometheus-exporters}
Prometheus exporters provide metrics for the
[prometheus monitoring system](https://prometheus.io).
## Configuration {#module-services-prometheus-exporters-configuration}
One of the most common exporters is the
[node exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter),
it provides hardware and OS metrics from the host it's
running on. The exporter could be configured as follows:
```
services.prometheus.exporters.node = {
enable = true;
port = 9100;
enabledCollectors = [
"logind"
"systemd"
];
disabledCollectors = [
"textfile"
];
openFirewall = true;
firewallFilter = "-i br0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9100";
};
```
It should now serve all metrics from the collectors that are explicitly
enabled and the ones that are
[enabled by default](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter#enabled-by-default),
via http under `/metrics`. In this
example the firewall should just allow incoming connections to the
exporter's port on the bridge interface `br0` (this would
have to be configured separately of course). For more information about
configuration see `man configuration.nix` or search through
the [available options](https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#prometheus.exporters).
Prometheus can now be configured to consume the metrics produced by the exporter:
```
services.prometheus = {
# ...
scrapeConfigs = [
{
job_name = "node";
static_configs = [{
targets = [ "localhost:${toString config.services.prometheus.exporters.node.port}" ];
}];
}
];
# ...
}
```
## Adding a new exporter {#module-services-prometheus-exporters-new-exporter}
To add a new exporter, it has to be packaged first (see
`nixpkgs/pkgs/servers/monitoring/prometheus/` for
examples), then a module can be added. The postfix exporter is used in this
example:
- Some default options for all exporters are provided by
`nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/monitoring/prometheus/exporters.nix`:
- `enable`
- `port`
- `listenAddress`
- `extraFlags`
- `openFirewall`
- `firewallFilter`
- `user`
- `group`
- As there is already a package available, the module can now be added. This
is accomplished by adding a new file to the
`nixos/modules/services/monitoring/prometheus/exporters/`
directory, which will be called postfix.nix and contains all exporter
specific options and configuration:
```
# nixpgs/nixos/modules/services/prometheus/exporters/postfix.nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, options }:
with lib;
let
# for convenience we define cfg here
cfg = config.services.prometheus.exporters.postfix;
in
{
port = 9154; # The postfix exporter listens on this port by default
# `extraOpts` is an attribute set which contains additional options
# (and optional overrides for default options).
# Note that this attribute is optional.
extraOpts = {
telemetryPath = mkOption {
type = types.str;
default = "/metrics";
description = ''
Path under which to expose metrics.
'';
};
logfilePath = mkOption {
type = types.path;
default = /var/log/postfix_exporter_input.log;
example = /var/log/mail.log;
description = ''
Path where Postfix writes log entries.
This file will be truncated by this exporter!
'';
};
showqPath = mkOption {
type = types.path;
default = /var/spool/postfix/public/showq;
example = /var/lib/postfix/queue/public/showq;
description = ''
Path at which Postfix places its showq socket.
'';
};
};
# `serviceOpts` is an attribute set which contains configuration
# for the exporter's systemd service. One of
# `serviceOpts.script` and `serviceOpts.serviceConfig.ExecStart`
# has to be specified here. This will be merged with the default
# service configuration.
# Note that by default 'DynamicUser' is 'true'.
serviceOpts = {
serviceConfig = {
DynamicUser = false;
ExecStart = ''
${pkgs.prometheus-postfix-exporter}/bin/postfix_exporter \
--web.listen-address ${cfg.listenAddress}:${toString cfg.port} \
--web.telemetry-path ${cfg.telemetryPath} \
${concatStringsSep " \\\n " cfg.extraFlags}
'';
};
};
}
```
- This should already be enough for the postfix exporter. Additionally one
could now add assertions and conditional default values. This can be done
in the 'meta-module' that combines all exporter definitions and generates
the submodules:
`nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/prometheus/exporters.nix`
## Updating an exporter module {#module-services-prometheus-exporters-update-exporter-module}
Should an exporter option change at some point, it is possible to add
information about the change to the exporter definition similar to
`nixpkgs/nixos/modules/rename.nix`:
```
{ config, lib, pkgs, options }:
with lib;
let
cfg = config.services.prometheus.exporters.nginx;
in
{
port = 9113;
extraOpts = {
# additional module options
# ...
};
serviceOpts = {
# service configuration
# ...
};
imports = [
# 'services.prometheus.exporters.nginx.telemetryEndpoint' -> 'services.prometheus.exporters.nginx.telemetryPath'
(mkRenamedOptionModule [ "telemetryEndpoint" ] [ "telemetryPath" ])
# removed option 'services.prometheus.exporters.nginx.insecure'
(mkRemovedOptionModule [ "insecure" ] ''
This option was replaced by 'prometheus.exporters.nginx.sslVerify' which defaults to true.
'')
({ options.warnings = options.warnings; })
];
}
```

# Pleroma {#module-services-pleroma}
[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) is a lightweight activity pub server.
## Generating the Pleroma config {#module-services-pleroma-generate-config}
The `pleroma_ctl` CLI utility will prompt you some questions and it will generate an initial config file. This is an example of usage
```ShellSession
$ mkdir tmp-pleroma
$ cd tmp-pleroma
$ nix-shell -p pleroma-otp
$ pleroma_ctl instance gen --output config.exs --output-psql setup.psql
```
The `config.exs` file can be further customized following the instructions on the [upstream documentation](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/configuration/cheatsheet/). Many refinements can be applied also after the service is running.
## Initializing the database {#module-services-pleroma-initialize-db}
First, the Postgresql service must be enabled in the NixOS configuration
```
services.postgresql = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.postgresql_13;
};
```
and activated with the usual
```ShellSession
$ nixos-rebuild switch
```
Then you can create and seed the database, using the `setup.psql` file that you generated in the previous section, by running
```ShellSession
$ sudo -u postgres psql -f setup.psql
```
## Enabling the Pleroma service locally {#module-services-pleroma-enable}
In this section we will enable the Pleroma service only locally, so its configurations can be improved incrementally.
This is an example of configuration, where [](#opt-services.pleroma.configs) option contains the content of the file `config.exs`, generated [in the first section](#module-services-pleroma-generate-config), but with the secrets (database password, endpoint secret key, salts, etc.) removed. Removing secrets is important, because otherwise they will be stored publicly in the Nix store.
```
services.pleroma = {
enable = true;
secretConfigFile = "/var/lib/pleroma/secrets.exs";
configs = [
''
import Config
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint,
url: [host: "pleroma.example.net", scheme: "https", port: 443],
http: [ip: {127, 0, 0, 1}, port: 4000]
config :pleroma, :instance,
name: "Test",
email: "admin@example.net",
notify_email: "admin@example.net",
limit: 5000,
registrations_open: true
config :pleroma, :media_proxy,
enabled: false,
redirect_on_failure: true
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Repo,
adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
username: "pleroma",
database: "pleroma",
hostname: "localhost"
# Configure web push notifications
config :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details,
subject: "mailto:admin@example.net"
# ... TO CONTINUE ...
''
];
};
```
Secrets must be moved into a file pointed by [](#opt-services.pleroma.secretConfigFile), in our case `/var/lib/pleroma/secrets.exs`. This file can be created copying the previously generated `config.exs` file and then removing all the settings, except the secrets. This is an example
```
# Pleroma instance passwords
import Config
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint,
secret_key_base: "<the secret generated by pleroma_ctl>",
signing_salt: "<the secret generated by pleroma_ctl>"
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Repo,
password: "<the secret generated by pleroma_ctl>"
# Configure web push notifications
config :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details,
public_key: "<the secret generated by pleroma_ctl>",
private_key: "<the secret generated by pleroma_ctl>"
# ... TO CONTINUE ...
```
Note that the lines of the same configuration group are comma separated (i.e. all the lines end with a comma, except the last one), so when the lines with passwords are added or removed, commas must be adjusted accordingly.
The service can be enabled with the usual
```ShellSession
$ nixos-rebuild switch
```
The service is accessible only from the local `127.0.0.1:4000` port. It can be tested using a port forwarding like this
```ShellSession
$ ssh -L 4000:localhost:4000 myuser@example.net
```
and then accessing <http://localhost:4000> from a web browser.
## Creating the admin user {#module-services-pleroma-admin-user}
After Pleroma service is running, all [Pleroma administration utilities](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/) can be used. In particular an admin user can be created with
```ShellSession
$ pleroma_ctl user new <nickname> <email> --admin --moderator --password <password>
```
## Configuring Nginx {#module-services-pleroma-nginx}
In this configuration, Pleroma is listening only on the local port 4000. Nginx can be configured as a Reverse Proxy, for forwarding requests from public ports to the Pleroma service. This is an example of configuration, using
[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) for the TLS certificates
```
security.acme = {
email = "root@example.net";
acceptTerms = true;
};
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
addSSL = true;
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedProxySettings = false;
# NOTE: if enabled, the NixOS proxy optimizations will override the Pleroma
# specific settings, and they will enter in conflict.
virtualHosts = {
"pleroma.example.net" = {
http2 = true;
enableACME = true;
forceSSL = true;
locations."/" = {
proxyPass = "http://127.0.0.1:4000";

# Prosody {#module-services-prosody}
[Prosody](https://prosody.im/) is an open-source, modern XMPP server.
## Basic usage {#module-services-prosody-basic-usage}
A common struggle for most XMPP newcomers is to find the right set
of XMPP Extensions (XEPs) to setup. Forget to activate a few of
those and your XMPP experience might turn into a nightmare!
The XMPP community tackles this problem by creating a meta-XEP
listing a decent set of XEPs you should implement. This meta-XEP
is issued every year, the 2020 edition being
[XEP-0423](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0423.html).
The NixOS Prosody module will implement most of these recommendend XEPs out of
the box. That being said, two components still require some
manual configuration: the
[Multi User Chat (MUC)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html)
and the [HTTP File Upload](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html) ones.
You'll need to create a DNS subdomain for each of those. The current convention is to name your
MUC endpoint `conference.example.org` and your HTTP upload domain `upload.example.org`.
A good configuration to start with, including a
[Multi User Chat (MUC)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html)
endpoint as well as a [HTTP File Upload](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html)
endpoint will look like this:
```
services.prosody = {
enable = true;
admins = [ "root@example.org" ];
ssl.cert = "/var/lib/acme/example.org/fullchain.pem";
ssl.key = "/var/lib/acme/example.org/key.pem";
virtualHosts."example.org" = {
enabled = true;
domain = "example.org";
ssl.cert = "/var/lib/acme/example.org/fullchain.pem";
ssl.key = "/var/lib/acme/example.org/key.pem";
};
muc = [ {
domain = "conference.example.org";
} ];
uploadHttp = {
domain = "upload.example.org";
};
};
```
## Let's Encrypt Configuration {#module-services-prosody-letsencrypt}
As you can see in the code snippet from the
[previous section](#module-services-prosody-basic-usage),
you'll need a single TLS certificate covering your main endpoint,
the MUC one as well as the HTTP Upload one. We can generate such a
certificate by leveraging the ACME
[extraDomainNames](#opt-security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomainNames) module option.
Provided the setup detailed in the previous section, you'll need the following acme configuration to generate
a TLS certificate for the three endponits:
```
security.acme = {
email = "root@example.org";
acceptTerms = true;
certs = {
"example.org" = {
webroot = "/var/www/example.org";
email = "root@example.org";
extraDomainNames = [ "conference.example.org" "upload.example.org" ];
};
};
};

# Yggdrasil {#module-services-networking-yggdrasil}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/networking/yggdrasil/default.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/>
Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted,
self-arranging IPv6 network.
## Configuration {#module-services-networking-yggdrasil-configuration}
### Simple ephemeral node {#module-services-networking-yggdrasil-configuration-simple}
An annotated example of a simple configuration:
```
{
services.yggdrasil = {
enable = true;
persistentKeys = false;
# The NixOS module will generate new keys and a new IPv6 address each time
# it is started if persistentKeys is not enabled.
settings = {
Peers = [
# Yggdrasil will automatically connect and "peer" with other nodes it
# discovers via link-local multicast announcements. Unless this is the
# case (it probably isn't) a node needs peers within the existing
# network that it can tunnel to.
"tcp://1.2.3.4:1024"
"tcp://1.2.3.5:1024"
# Public peers can be found at
# https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/public-peers
];
};
};
}
```
### Persistent node with prefix {#module-services-networking-yggdrasil-configuration-prefix}
A node with a fixed address that announces a prefix:
```
let
address = "210:5217:69c0:9afc:1b95:b9f:8718:c3d2";
prefix = "310:5217:69c0:9afc";
# taken from the output of "yggdrasilctl getself".
in {
services.yggdrasil = {
enable = true;
persistentKeys = true; # Maintain a fixed public key and IPv6 address.
settings = {
Peers = [ "tcp://1.2.3.4:1024" "tcp://1.2.3.5:1024" ];
NodeInfo = {
# This information is visible to the network.
name = config.networking.hostName;
location = "The North Pole";
};
};
};
boot.kernel.sysctl."net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding" = 1;
# Forward traffic under the prefix.
networking.interfaces.${eth0}.ipv6.addresses = [{
# Set a 300::/8 address on the local physical device.
address = prefix + "::1";
prefixLength = 64;
}];
services.radvd = {
# Announce the 300::/8 prefix to eth0.
enable = true;
config = ''
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix ${prefix}::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
};
route 200::/8 {};
};
'';
};
}
```
### Yggdrasil attached Container {#module-services-networking-yggdrasil-configuration-container}
A NixOS container attached to the Yggdrasil network via a node running on the
host:
```
let
yggPrefix64 = "310:5217:69c0:9afc";
# Again, taken from the output of "yggdrasilctl getself".
in
{
boot.kernel.sysctl."net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding" = 1;
# Enable IPv6 forwarding.
networking = {
bridges.br0.interfaces = [ ];
# A bridge only to containers…
interfaces.br0 = {
# … configured with a prefix address.
ipv6.addresses = [{
address = "${yggPrefix64}::1";
prefixLength = 64;
}];
};
};
containers.foo = {
autoStart = true;
privateNetwork = true;
hostBridge = "br0";
# Attach the container to the bridge only.
config = { config, pkgs, ... }: {
networking.interfaces.eth0.ipv6 = {
addresses = [{
# Configure a prefix address.
address = "${yggPrefix64}::2";
prefixLength = 64;
}];
routes = [{
# Configure the prefix route.
address = "200::";
prefixLength = 7;
via = "${yggPrefix64}::1";
}];
};
services.httpd.enable = true;
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 ];
};
};
}
```

# Discourse {#module-services-discourse}
[Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/) is a
modern and open source discussion platform.
## Basic usage {#module-services-discourse-basic-usage}
A minimal configuration using Let's Encrypt for TLS certificates looks like this:
```
services.discourse = {
enable = true;
hostname = "discourse.example.com";
admin = {
email = "admin@example.com";
username = "admin";
fullName = "Administrator";
passwordFile = "/path/to/password_file";
};
secretKeyBaseFile = "/path/to/secret_key_base_file";
};
security.acme.email = "me@example.com";
security.acme.acceptTerms = true;
```
Provided a proper DNS setup, you'll be able to connect to the
instance at `discourse.example.com` and log in
using the credentials provided in
`services.discourse.admin`.
## Using a regular TLS certificate {#module-services-discourse-tls}
To set up TLS using a regular certificate and key on file, use
the [](#opt-services.discourse.sslCertificate)
and [](#opt-services.discourse.sslCertificateKey)
options:
```
services.discourse = {
enable = true;
hostname = "discourse.example.com";
sslCertificate = "/path/to/ssl_certificate";
sslCertificateKey = "/path/to/ssl_certificate_key";
admin = {
email = "admin@example.com";
username = "admin";
fullName = "Administrator";
passwordFile = "/path/to/password_file";
};
secretKeyBaseFile = "/path/to/secret_key_base_file";
};
```
## Database access {#module-services-discourse-database}
Discourse uses PostgreSQL to store most of its
data. A database will automatically be enabled and a database
and role created unless [](#opt-services.discourse.database.host) is changed from
its default of `null` or [](#opt-services.discourse.database.createLocally) is set
to `false`.
External database access can also be configured by setting
[](#opt-services.discourse.database.host),
[](#opt-services.discourse.database.username) and
[](#opt-services.discourse.database.passwordFile) as
appropriate. Note that you need to manually create a database
called `discourse` (or the name you chose in
[](#opt-services.discourse.database.name)) and
allow the configured database user full access to it.
## Email {#module-services-discourse-mail}
In addition to the basic setup, you'll want to configure an SMTP
server Discourse can use to send user
registration and password reset emails, among others. You can
also optionally let Discourse receive
email, which enables people to reply to threads and conversations
via email.
A basic setup which assumes you want to use your configured
[hostname](#opt-services.discourse.hostname) as
email domain can be done like this:
```
services.discourse = {
enable = true;
hostname = "discourse.example.com";
sslCertificate = "/path/to/ssl_certificate";
sslCertificateKey = "/path/to/ssl_certificate_key";
admin = {
email = "admin@example.com";
username = "admin";
fullName = "Administrator";
passwordFile = "/path/to/password_file";
};
mail.outgoing = {
serverAddress = "smtp.emailprovider.com";
port = 587;
username = "user@emailprovider.com";
passwordFile = "/path/to/smtp_password_file";
};
mail.incoming.enable = true;
secretKeyBaseFile = "/path/to/secret_key_base_file";
};
```
This assumes you have set up an MX record for the address you've
set in [hostname](#opt-services.discourse.hostname) and
requires proper SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration to be done for
the domain you're sending from, in order for email to be reliably delivered.
If you want to use a different domain for your outgoing email
(for example `example.com` instead of
`discourse.example.com`) you should set
[](#opt-services.discourse.mail.notificationEmailAddress) and
[](#opt-services.discourse.mail.contactEmailAddress) manually.
::: {.note}
Setup of TLS for incoming email is currently only configured
automatically when a regular TLS certificate is used, i.e. when
[](#opt-services.discourse.sslCertificate) and
[](#opt-services.discourse.sslCertificateKey) are
set.
:::
## Additional settings {#module-services-discourse-settings}
Additional site settings and backend settings, for which no
explicit NixOS options are provided,
can be set in [](#opt-services.discourse.siteSettings) and
[](#opt-services.discourse.backendSettings) respectively.
### Site settings {#module-services-discourse-site-settings}
"Site settings" are the settings that can be
changed through the Discourse
UI. Their *default* values can be set using
[](#opt-services.discourse.siteSettings).
Settings are expressed as a Nix attribute set which matches the
structure of the configuration in
[config/site_settings.yml](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/site_settings.yml).
To find a setting's path, you only need to care about the first
two levels; i.e. its category (e.g. `login`)
and name (e.g. `invite_only`).
Settings containing secret data should be set to an attribute
set containing the attribute `_secret` - a
string pointing to a file containing the value the option
should be set to. See the example.
### Backend settings {#module-services-discourse-backend-settings}
Settings are expressed as a Nix attribute set which matches the
structure of the configuration in
[config/discourse.conf](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/stable/config/discourse_defaults.conf).
Empty parameters can be defined by setting them to
`null`.
### Example {#module-services-discourse-settings-example}
The following example sets the title and description of the
Discourse instance and enables
GitHub login in the site settings,
and changes a few request limits in the backend settings:
```
services.discourse = {
enable = true;
hostname = "discourse.example.com";
sslCertificate = "/path/to/ssl_certificate";
sslCertificateKey = "/path/to/ssl_certificate_key";
admin = {
email = "admin@example.com";
username = "admin";
fullName = "Administrator";
passwordFile = "/path/to/password_file";
};
mail.outgoing = {
serverAddress = "smtp.emailprovider.com";
port = 587;
username = "user@emailprovider.com";
passwordFile = "/path/to/smtp_password_file";
};
mail.incoming.enable = true;
siteSettings = {
required = {
title = "My Cats";
site_description = "Discuss My Cats (and be nice plz)";
};
login = {
enable_github_logins = true;
github_client_id = "a2f6dfe838cb3206ce20";
github_client_secret._secret = /run/keys/discourse_github_client_secret;
};
};
backendSettings = {
max_reqs_per_ip_per_minute = 300;
max_reqs_per_ip_per_10_seconds = 60;
max_asset_reqs_per_ip_per_10_seconds = 250;
max_reqs_per_ip_mode = "warn+block";
};
secretKeyBaseFile = "/path/to/secret_key_base_file";
};
```
In the resulting site settings file, the
`login.github_client_secret` key will be set
to the contents of the
{file}`/run/keys/discourse_github_client_secret`
file.
## Plugins {#module-services-discourse-plugins}
You can install Discourse plugins
using the [](#opt-services.discourse.plugins)
option. Pre-packaged plugins are provided in
`<your_discourse_package_here>.plugins`. If
you want the full suite of plugins provided through
`nixpkgs`, you can also set the [](#opt-services.discourse.package) option to
`pkgs.discourseAllPlugins`.
Plugins can be built with the
`<your_discourse_package_here>.mkDiscoursePlugin`
function. Normally, it should suffice to provide a
`name` and `src` attribute. If
the plugin has Ruby dependencies, however, they need to be
packaged in accordance with the [Developing with Ruby](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#developing-with-ruby)
section of the Nixpkgs manual and the
appropriate gem options set in `bundlerEnvArgs`
(normally `gemdir` is sufficient). A plugin's
Ruby dependencies are listed in its
{file}`plugin.rb` file as function calls to
`gem`. To construct the corresponding
{file}`Gemfile` manually, run {command}`bundle init`, then add the `gem` lines to it
verbatim.
Much of the packaging can be done automatically by the
{file}`nixpkgs/pkgs/servers/web-apps/discourse/update.py`
script - just add the plugin to the `plugins`
list in the `update_plugins` function and run
the script:
```bash
./update.py update-plugins
```
Some plugins provide [site settings](#module-services-discourse-site-settings).
Their defaults can be configured using [](#opt-services.discourse.siteSettings), just like
regular site settings. To find the names of these settings, look
in the `config/settings.yml` file of the plugin
repo.
For example, to add the [discourse-spoiler-alert](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-spoiler-alert)
and [discourse-solved](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved)
plugins, and disable `discourse-spoiler-alert`
by default:
```
services.discourse = {
enable = true;

# Grocy {#module-services-grocy}
[Grocy](https://grocy.info/) is a web-based self-hosted groceries
& household management solution for your home.
## Basic usage {#module-services-grocy-basic-usage}
A very basic configuration may look like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
services.grocy = {
enable = true;
hostName = "grocy.tld";
};
}
```
This configures a simple vhost using [nginx](#opt-services.nginx.enable)
which listens to `grocy.tld` with fully configured ACME/LE (this can be
disabled by setting [services.grocy.nginx.enableSSL](#opt-services.grocy.nginx.enableSSL)
to `false`). After the initial setup the credentials `admin:admin`
can be used to login.
The application's state is persisted at `/var/lib/grocy/grocy.db` in a
`sqlite3` database. The migration is applied when requesting the `/`-route
of the application.
## Settings {#module-services-grocy-settings}
The configuration for `grocy` is located at `/etc/grocy/config.php`.
By default, the following settings can be defined in the NixOS-configuration:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
services.grocy.settings = {
# The default currency in the system for invoices etc.
# Please note that exchange rates aren't taken into account, this
# is just the setting for what's shown in the frontend.
currency = "EUR";
# The display language (and locale configuration) for grocy.
culture = "de";
calendar = {
# Whether or not to show the week-numbers
# in the calendar.
showWeekNumber = true;
# Index of the first day to be shown in the calendar (0=Sunday, 1=Monday,
# 2=Tuesday and so on).
firstDayOfWeek = 2;
};
};
}
```
If you want to alter the configuration file on your own, you can do this manually with
an expression like this:
```
{ lib, ... }:
{
environment.etc."grocy/config.php".text = lib.mkAfter ''
// Arbitrary PHP code in grocy's configuration file
'';
}
```

# Keycloak {#module-services-keycloak}
[Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) is an
open source identity and access management server with support for
[OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/connect/),
[OAUTH 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) and
[SAML 2.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML_2.0).
## Administration {#module-services-keycloak-admin}
An administrative user with the username
`admin` is automatically created in the
`master` realm. Its initial password can be
configured by setting [](#opt-services.keycloak.initialAdminPassword)
and defaults to `changeme`. The password is
not stored safely and should be changed immediately in the
admin panel.
Refer to the [Keycloak Server Administration Guide](
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html
) for information on
how to administer your Keycloak
instance.
## Database access {#module-services-keycloak-database}
Keycloak can be used with either PostgreSQL, MariaDB or
MySQL. Which one is used can be
configured in [](#opt-services.keycloak.database.type). The selected
database will automatically be enabled and a database and role
created unless [](#opt-services.keycloak.database.host) is changed
from its default of `localhost` or
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally) is set to `false`.
External database access can also be configured by setting
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.host),
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.name),
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.username),
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.useSSL) and
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.caCert) as
appropriate. Note that you need to manually create the database
and allow the configured database user full access to it.
[](#opt-services.keycloak.database.passwordFile)
must be set to the path to a file containing the password used
to log in to the database. If [](#opt-services.keycloak.database.host)
and [](#opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally)
are kept at their defaults, the database role
`keycloak` with that password is provisioned
on the local database instance.
::: {.warning}
The path should be provided as a string, not a Nix path, since Nix
paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.
:::
## Hostname {#module-services-keycloak-hostname}
The hostname is used to build the public URL used as base for
all frontend requests and must be configured through
[](#opt-services.keycloak.settings.hostname).
::: {.note}
If you're migrating an old Wildfly based Keycloak instance
and want to keep compatibility with your current clients,
you'll likely want to set [](#opt-services.keycloak.settings.http-relative-path)
to `/auth`. See the option description
for more details.
:::
[](#opt-services.keycloak.settings.hostname-strict-backchannel)
determines whether Keycloak should force all requests to go
through the frontend URL. By default,
Keycloak allows backend requests to
instead use its local hostname or IP address and may also
advertise it to clients through its OpenID Connect Discovery
endpoint.
For more information on hostname configuration, see the [Hostname
section of the Keycloak Server Installation and Configuration
Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/server/hostname).
## Setting up TLS/SSL {#module-services-keycloak-tls}
By default, Keycloak won't accept
unsecured HTTP connections originating from outside its local
network.
HTTPS support requires a TLS/SSL certificate and a private key,
both [PEM formatted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-Enhanced_Mail).
Their paths should be set through
[](#opt-services.keycloak.sslCertificate) and
[](#opt-services.keycloak.sslCertificateKey).
::: {.warning}
The paths should be provided as a strings, not a Nix paths,
since Nix paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.
:::
## Themes {#module-services-keycloak-themes}
You can package custom themes and make them visible to
Keycloak through [](#opt-services.keycloak.themes). See the
[Themes section of the Keycloak Server Development Guide](
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#_themes
) and the description of the aforementioned NixOS option for
more information.
## Configuration file settings {#module-services-keycloak-settings}
Keycloak server configuration parameters can be set in
[](#opt-services.keycloak.settings). These correspond
directly to options in
{file}`conf/keycloak.conf`. Some of the most
important parameters are documented as suboptions, the rest can
be found in the [All
configuration section of the Keycloak Server Installation and
Configuration Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/server/all-config).
Options containing secret data should be set to an attribute
set containing the attribute `_secret` - a
string pointing to a file containing the value the option
should be set to. See the description of
[](#opt-services.keycloak.settings) for an example.
## Example configuration {#module-services-keycloak-example-config}
A basic configuration with some custom settings could look like this:
```
services.keycloak = {
enable = true;
settings = {
hostname = "keycloak.example.com";
hostname-strict-backchannel = true;
};
initialAdminPassword = "e6Wcm0RrtegMEHl"; # change on first login
sslCertificate = "/run/keys/ssl_cert";
sslCertificateKey = "/run/keys/ssl_key";
database.passwordFile = "/run/keys/db_password";
};
```

<title>Database access</title>
<para>
Keycloak can be used with either PostgreSQL, MariaDB or MySQL.
Which one is used can be configured in
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.type" />. The
selected database will automatically be enabled and a database and
role created unless
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" /> is changed
from its default of <literal>localhost</literal> or
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally" /> is
set to <literal>false</literal>.

<para>
External database access can also be configured by setting
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" />,
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.name" />,
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.username" />,
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.useSSL" /> and
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.caCert" /> as
appropriate. Note that you need to manually create the database
and allow the configured database user full access to it.
</para>
<para>
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.passwordFile" />
must be set to the path to a file containing the password used to
log in to the database. If
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" /> and
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally" />
are kept at their defaults, the database role
<literal>keycloak</literal> with that password is provisioned on
the local database instance.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The path should be provided as a string, not a Nix path, since
Nix paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.

<note>
<para>
If youre migrating an old Wildfly based Keycloak instance and
want to keep compatibility with your current clients, youll
likely want to set

# Matomo {#module-services-matomo}
Matomo is a real-time web analytics application. This module configures
php-fpm as backend for Matomo, optionally configuring an nginx vhost as well.
An automatic setup is not suported by Matomo, so you need to configure Matomo
itself in the browser-based Matomo setup.
## Database Setup {#module-services-matomo-database-setup}
You also need to configure a MariaDB or MySQL database and -user for Matomo
yourself, and enter those credentials in your browser. You can use
passwordless database authentication via the UNIX_SOCKET authentication
plugin with the following SQL commands:
```
# For MariaDB
INSTALL PLUGIN unix_socket SONAME 'auth_socket';
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH unix_socket;

INSTALL PLUGIN auth_socket SONAME 'auth_socket.so';
CREATE DATABASE matomo;
CREATE USER 'matomo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH auth_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON matomo.* TO 'matomo'@'localhost';
```
Then fill in `matomo` as database user and database name,
and leave the password field blank. This authentication works by allowing
only the `matomo` unix user to authenticate as the
`matomo` database user (without needing a password), but no
other users. For more information on passwordless login, see

Of course, you can use password based authentication as well, e.g. when the
database is not on the same host.
## Archive Processing {#module-services-matomo-archive-processing}
This module comes with the systemd service
`matomo-archive-processing.service` and a timer that
automatically triggers archive processing every hour. This means that you
can safely
[disable browser triggers for Matomo archiving](
https://matomo.org/docs/setup-auto-archiving/#disable-browser-triggers-for-matomo-archiving-and-limit-matomo-reports-to-updating-every-hour
) at
`Administration > System > General Settings`.
With automatic archive processing, you can now also enable to
[delete old visitor logs](https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/#step-2-delete-old-visitors-logs)
at `Administration > System > Privacy`, but make sure that you run `systemctl start
matomo-archive-processing.service` at least once without errors if
you have already collected data before, so that the reports get archived
before the source data gets deleted.
## Backup {#module-services-matomo-backups}
You only need to take backups of your MySQL database and the
{file}`/var/lib/matomo/config/config.ini.php` file. Use a user
in the `matomo` group or root to access the file. For more
information, see

## Issues {#module-services-matomo-issues}
- Matomo will warn you that the JavaScript tracker is not writable. This is
because it's located in the read-only nix store. You can safely ignore
this, unless you need a plugin that needs JavaScript tracker access.
## Using other Web Servers than nginx {#module-services-matomo-other-web-servers}
You can use other web servers by forwarding calls for
{file}`index.php` and {file}`piwik.php` to the
[`services.phpfpm.pools.<name>.socket`](#opt-services.phpfpm.pools._name_.socket)
fastcgi unix socket. You can use

# Nextcloud {#module-services-nextcloud}
[Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) is an open-source,
self-hostable cloud platform. The server setup can be automated using
[services.nextcloud](#opt-services.nextcloud.enable). A
desktop client is packaged at `pkgs.nextcloud-client`.
The current default by NixOS is `nextcloud25` which is also the latest
major version available.
## Basic usage {#module-services-nextcloud-basic-usage}
Nextcloud is a PHP-based application which requires an HTTP server
([`services.nextcloud`](#opt-services.nextcloud.enable)
optionally supports
[`services.nginx`](#opt-services.nginx.enable))
and a database (it's recommended to use
[`services.postgresql`](#opt-services.postgresql.enable)).
A very basic configuration may look like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
services.nextcloud = {
enable = true;
hostName = "nextcloud.tld";
config = {
dbtype = "pgsql";
dbuser = "nextcloud";
dbhost = "/run/postgresql"; # nextcloud will add /.s.PGSQL.5432 by itself
dbname = "nextcloud";
adminpassFile = "/path/to/admin-pass-file";
adminuser = "root";
};
};
services.postgresql = {
enable = true;
ensureDatabases = [ "nextcloud" ];
ensureUsers = [
{ name = "nextcloud";
ensurePermissions."DATABASE nextcloud" = "ALL PRIVILEGES";
}
];
};
# ensure that postgres is running *before* running the setup
systemd.services."nextcloud-setup" = {
requires = ["postgresql.service"];
after = ["postgresql.service"];
};
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];
}
```
The `hostName` option is used internally to configure an HTTP
server using [`PHP-FPM`](https://php-fpm.org/)
and `nginx`. The `config` attribute set is
used by the imperative installer and all values are written to an additional file
to ensure that changes can be applied by changing the module's options.
In case the application serves multiple domains (those are checked with
[`$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']`](http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php))
it's needed to add them to
[`services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains`](#opt-services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains).
Auto updates for Nextcloud apps can be enabled using
[`services.nextcloud.autoUpdateApps`](#opt-services.nextcloud.autoUpdateApps.enable).
## Common problems {#module-services-nextcloud-pitfalls-during-upgrade}
- **General notes.**
Unfortunately Nextcloud appears to be very stateful when it comes to
managing its own configuration. The config file lives in the home directory
of the `nextcloud` user (by default
`/var/lib/nextcloud/config/config.php`) and is also used to
track several states of the application (e.g., whether installed or not).
All configuration parameters are also stored in
{file}`/var/lib/nextcloud/config/override.config.php` which is generated by
the module and linked from the store to ensure that all values from
{file}`config.php` can be modified by the module.
However {file}`config.php` manages the application's state and shouldn't be
touched manually because of that.
::: {.warning}
Don't delete {file}`config.php`! This file
tracks the application's state and a deletion can cause unwanted
side-effects!
:::
::: {.warning}
Don't rerun `nextcloud-occ maintenance:install`!
This command tries to install the application
and can cause unwanted side-effects!
:::
- **Multiple version upgrades.**
Nextcloud doesn't allow to move more than one major-version forward. E.g., if you're on
`v16`, you cannot upgrade to `v18`, you need to upgrade to
`v17` first. This is ensured automatically as long as the
[stateVersion](#opt-system.stateVersion) is declared properly. In that case
the oldest version available (one major behind the one from the previous NixOS
release) will be selected by default and the module will generate a warning that reminds
the user to upgrade to latest Nextcloud *after* that deploy.
- **`Error: Command "upgrade" is not defined.`**
This error usually occurs if the initial installation
({command}`nextcloud-occ maintenance:install`) has failed. After that, the application
is not installed, but the upgrade is attempted to be executed. Further context can
be found in [NixOS/nixpkgs#111175](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/111175).
First of all, it makes sense to find out what went wrong by looking at the logs
of the installation via {command}`journalctl -u nextcloud-setup` and try to fix
the underlying issue.
- If this occurs on an *existing* setup, this is most likely because
the maintenance mode is active. It can be deactivated by running
{command}`nextcloud-occ maintenance:mode --off`. It's advisable though to
check the logs first on why the maintenance mode was activated.
- ::: {.warning}
Only perform the following measures on
*freshly installed instances!*
:::
A re-run of the installer can be forced by *deleting*
{file}`/var/lib/nextcloud/config/config.php`. This is the only time
advisable because the fresh install doesn't have any state that can be lost.
In case that doesn't help, an entire re-creation can be forced via
{command}`rm -rf ~nextcloud/`.
- **Server-side encryption.**
Nextcloud supports [server-side encryption (SSE)](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/encryption_configuration.html).
This is not an end-to-end encryption, but can be used to encrypt files that will be persisted
to external storage such as S3. Please note that this won't work anymore when using OpenSSL 3
for PHP's openssl extension because this is implemented using the legacy cipher RC4.
If [](#opt-system.stateVersion) is *above* `22.05`,
this is disabled by default. To turn it on again and for further information please refer to
[](#opt-services.nextcloud.enableBrokenCiphersForSSE).
## Using an alternative webserver as reverse-proxy (e.g. `httpd`) {#module-services-nextcloud-httpd}
By default, `nginx` is used as reverse-proxy for `nextcloud`.
However, it's possible to use e.g. `httpd` by explicitly disabling
`nginx` using [](#opt-services.nginx.enable) and fixing the
settings `listen.owner` &amp; `listen.group` in the
[corresponding `phpfpm` pool](#opt-services.phpfpm.pools).
An exemplary configuration may look like this:
```
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }: {
services.nginx.enable = false;
services.nextcloud = {
enable = true;
hostName = "localhost";
/* further, required options */
};
services.phpfpm.pools.nextcloud.settings = {
"listen.owner" = config.services.httpd.user;
"listen.group" = config.services.httpd.group;
};
services.httpd = {
enable = true;
adminAddr = "webmaster@localhost";
extraModules = [ "proxy_fcgi" ];
virtualHosts."localhost" = {
documentRoot = config.services.nextcloud.package;
extraConfig = ''
<Directory "${config.services.nextcloud.package}">
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
<If "-f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
SetHandler "proxy:unix:${config.services.phpfpm.pools.nextcloud.socket}|fcgi://localhost/"
</If>
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
'';
};
};
}
```
## Installing Apps and PHP extensions {#installing-apps-php-extensions-nextcloud}
Nextcloud apps are installed statefully through the web interface.
Some apps may require extra PHP extensions to be installed.
This can be configured with the [](#opt-services.nextcloud.phpExtraExtensions) setting.
Alternatively, extra apps can also be declared with the [](#opt-services.nextcloud.extraApps) setting.
When using this setting, apps can no longer be managed statefully because this can lead to Nextcloud updating apps
that are managed by Nix. If you want automatic updates it is recommended that you use web interface to install apps.
## Maintainer information {#module-services-nextcloud-maintainer-info}
As stated in the previous paragraph, we must provide a clean upgrade-path for Nextcloud
since it cannot move more than one major version forward on a single upgrade. This chapter
adds some notes how Nextcloud updates should be rolled out in the future.
While minor and patch-level updates are no problem and can be done directly in the
package-expression (and should be backported to supported stable branches after that),
major-releases should be added in a new attribute (e.g. Nextcloud `v19.0.0`
should be available in `nixpkgs` as `pkgs.nextcloud19`).
To provide simple upgrade paths it's generally useful to backport those as well to stable
branches. As long as the package-default isn't altered, this won't break existing setups.
After that, the versioning-warning in the `nextcloud`-module should be
updated to make sure that the
[package](#opt-services.nextcloud.package)-option selects the latest version
on fresh setups.
If major-releases will be abandoned by upstream, we should check first if those are needed
in NixOS for a safe upgrade-path before removing those. In that case we should keep those
packages, but mark them as insecure in an expression like this (in
`<nixpkgs/pkgs/servers/nextcloud/default.nix>`):
```
/* ... */
{
nextcloud17 = generic {
version = "17.0.x";
sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
eol = true;
};
}
```
Ideally we should make sure that it's possible to jump two NixOS versions forward:
i.e. the warnings and the logic in the module should guard a user to upgrade from a
Nextcloud on e.g. 19.09 to a Nextcloud on 20.09.

## Basic Usage {#module-services-plausible-basic-usage}
At first, a secret key is needed to be generated. This can be done with e.g.
```ShellSession
$ openssl rand -base64 64
```

```
{
services.plausible = {

# Garage {#module-services-garage}
[Garage](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/)
is an open-source, self-hostable S3 store, simpler than MinIO, for geodistributed stores.
The server setup can be automated using
[services.garage](#opt-services.garage.enable). A
client configured to your local Garage instance is available in
the global environment as `garage-manage`.
The current default by NixOS is `garage_0_8` which is also the latest
major version available.
## General considerations on upgrades {#module-services-garage-upgrade-scenarios}
Garage provides a cookbook documentation on how to upgrade:
<https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/cookbook/upgrading/>
::: {.warning}
Garage has two types of upgrades: patch-level upgrades and minor/major version upgrades.
In all cases, you should read the changelog and ideally test the upgrade on a staging cluster.
Checking the health of your cluster can be achieved using `garage-manage repair`.
:::
::: {.warning}
Until 1.0 is released, patch-level upgrades are considered as minor version upgrades.
Minor version upgrades are considered as major version upgrades.
i.e. 0.6 to 0.7 is a major version upgrade.
:::
- **Straightforward upgrades (patch-level upgrades).**
Upgrades must be performed one by one, i.e. for each node, stop it, upgrade it : change [stateVersion](#opt-system.stateVersion) or [services.garage.package](#opt-services.garage.package), restart it if it was not already by switching.
- **Multiple version upgrades.**
Garage do not provide any guarantee on moving more than one major-version forward.
E.g., if you're on `0.7`, you cannot upgrade to `0.9`.
You need to upgrade to `0.8` first.
As long as [stateVersion](#opt-system.stateVersion) is declared properly,
this is enforced automatically. The module will issue a warning to remind the user to upgrade to latest
Garage *after* that deploy.
## Advanced upgrades (minor/major version upgrades) {#module-services-garage-advanced-upgrades}
Here are some baseline instructions to handle advanced upgrades in Garage, when in doubt, please refer to upstream instructions.
- Disable API and web access to Garage.
- Perform `garage-manage repair --all-nodes --yes tables` and `garage-manage repair --all-nodes --yes blocks`.
- Verify the resulting logs and check that data is synced properly between all nodes.
If you have time, do additional checks (`scrub`, `block_refs`, etc.).
- Check if queues are empty by `garage-manage stats` or through monitoring tools.
- Run `systemctl stop garage` to stop the actual Garage version.
- Backup the metadata folder of ALL your nodes, e.g. for a metadata directory (the default one) in `/var/lib/garage/meta`,
you can run `pushd /var/lib/garage; tar -acf meta-v0.7.tar.zst meta/; popd`.
- Run the offline migration: `nix-shell -p garage_0_8 --run "garage offline-repair --yes"`, this can take some time depending on how many objects are stored in your cluster.
- Bump Garage version in your NixOS configuration, either by changing [stateVersion](#opt-system.stateVersion) or bumping [services.garage.package](#opt-services.garage.package), this should restart Garage automatically.
- Perform `garage-manage repair --all-nodes --yes tables` and `garage-manage repair --all-nodes --yes blocks`.
- Wait for a full table sync to run.
Your upgraded cluster should be in a working state, re-enable API and web access.
## Maintainer information {#module-services-garage-maintainer-info}

To provide simple upgrade paths it's generally useful to backport those as well to stable

new attribute (e.g. Garage <literal>v0.8.0</literal> should be
available in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> as
<literal>pkgs.garage_0_8_0</literal>). To provide simple upgrade
paths its generally useful to backport those as well to stable
branches. As long as the package-default isnt altered, this wont
break existing setups. After that, the versioning-warning in the
<literal>garage</literal>-module should be updated to make sure
that the
<link linkend="opt-services.garage.package">package</link>-option
selects the latest version on fresh setups.

If major-releases will be abandoned by upstream, we should check
first if those are needed in NixOS for a safe upgrade-path before
removing those. In that case we shold keep those packages, but
mark them as insecure in an expression like this (in
<literal>&lt;nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/filesystem/garage/default.nix&gt;</literal>):
</para>
<programlisting>
/* ... */
{
garage_0_7_3 = generic {
version = &quot;0.7.3&quot;;
sha256 = &quot;0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&quot;;
eol = true;
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
Ideally we should make sure that its possible to jump two NixOS
versions forward: i.e. the warnings and the logic in the module
should guard a user to upgrade from a Garage on e.g. 22.11 to a
Garage on 23.11.
