Sometimes nscd starts up before a /etc/resolv.conf file has been written, and
apparently triggering a cache flush (reload) is not good enough to make it
recover from that problem. To remedy the issue, we restart the service instead.
See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/issues/34> for further details.
Using /etc/lighttpd.conf "hides" the config file from NixOS so that it
will not automatically restart the service when its config file changes.
So don't do that.
I think it's nice that it first asks the usual password, and then offers the
otpw one if enabled. That enables dovecot to show the last pam prompt.
I also add the dovecot option for that.
Previously we synced just before calling switch-to-configuration.
That prevents corruption of the Nix store, but it can leave the boot
loader configuration and kernel files in /boot corrupted. So do the
sync after installing the boot loader.
Usually timers.target is pulled in by basic.target, but we don't
restart basic.target. So timers.target wouldn't be started when
coming from an older systemd.
Now that nixUnstable supports remounting in the "/nix/store is a
mountpoint" case, this is no longer necessary.
This reverts commit f1d48aec43.

More specifically, this removes services.pulseaudio and adds the option
hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide which defaults to false but can be used to turn
on the system-wide PulseAudio server (previously defined in
services.pulseaudio). Since the two PulseAudio modes are mutually exclusive
anyway (maybe not strictly true, but I don't think is a good idea combining
them) its nicer to be able to reuse server and ALSA configuration between them.
Also the system-wide PulseAudio service has been adjusted to systemd, and a few
things has been fixed (there was no alsa.conf before, for example).
The bottomline is that people that was using hardware.pulseaudio before should
be able to keep doing it in exactly the same way, and people that used
services.pulseaudio must switch over to hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide instead.
This makes it so multiple definitions are merged by adding a newline
between each entry, to avoid the need to add a newline to the end of
every definition of extraModprobeConfig. See #119 for an example of an
issue this has caused.

The smartd used to expect a list of devices to monitor. After this patch, it
expects a list of attribute sets, which may have two attributes:
- device: path to the device (required)
- options: smartd options to apply to this particular device (optional)
A concrete example configuration would be:
services.smartd = {
enable = true;
devices = [ { device = "/dev/sda"; } { device = "/dev/sdb"; options = "-d sat"; } ];
};
Furthermore, the config option 'deviceOpts' can be used to configure options
that are applied to *every* device.
Enable it with
services.transmission.enable = true;
and optionally configure it
services.transmission.settings =
{
download-dir = "/srv/torrents/";
incomplete-dir = "/srv/torrents/.incomplete/";
incomplete-dir-enabled = true;
rpc-whitelist = "127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*";
# for users in group "transmission" to have access to torrents
umask = 2;
};
The above settings are written/merged into settings.json each time the
service is about to start.
In principle this could work, but the current remount logic in nix fails
to remount mountpoints that are root in their own filesystem (as would
be the case with bind-mounting a mountpoint over itself). nixos/nix#98
is aimed at fixing this.
