5## Highlights {#sec-release-24.05-highlights}
6
7In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
8
9<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
10
11- The default kernel package has been updated from 6.1 to 6.6. All supported kernels remain available.
12
13- For each supporting version of the Linux kernel firmware blobs
14 are compressed with zstd. For firmware blobs this means an increase of 4.4% in size, however
15 a significantly higher decompression speed.
16
17- NixOS now installs a stub ELF loader that prints an informative error message when users attempt to run binaries not made for NixOS.
18 - This can be disabled through the `environment.stub-ld.enable` option.
19 - If you use `programs.nix-ld.enable`, no changes are needed. The stub will be disabled automatically.
20
21- On flake-based NixOS configurations using `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`, NixOS will automatically set `NIX_PATH` and the system-wide flake registry (`/etc/nix/registry.json`) to point `<nixpkgs>` and the unqualified flake path `nixpkgs` to the version of nixpkgs used to build the system.
22
23 This makes `nix run nixpkgs#hello` and `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello` work out of the box with no added configuration, reusing dependencies already on the system.
24
25 This may be undesirable if nix commands are not going to be run on the built system since it adds nixpkgs to the system closure. For such closure-size-constrained non-interactive systems, this setting should be disabled.
26
27 To disable this, set [nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath) and [nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry) to false.
28
29- NixOS AMIs are now uploaded regularly to a new AWS Account.
30 Instructions on how to use them can be found on <https://nixos.github.io/amis>.
31 We are working on integration the data into the NixOS homepage.
32 The list in `nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-ec2-amis.nix` will stop
33 being updated and will be removed in the future.
34
35- It is now possible to have a completely perlless system (i.e. a system
36 without perl). Previously, the NixOS activation depended on two perl scripts
37 which can now be replaced via an opt-in mechanism. To make your system
38 perlless, you can use the new perlless profile:
39 ```nix
40 { modulesPath, ... }: {
41 imports = [ "${modulesPath}/profiles/perlless.nix" ];
42 }
43 ```
44
45- Lomiri (formerly known as Unity8) desktop mode, using Mir 2.x to function as a Wayland compositor, is now available and can be installed with `services.desktopManager.lomiri.enable = true`. Note that some core applications, services and indicators have yet to be packaged, and some functions may remain incomplete, but the base experience should be there.
46
47- MATE has been updated to 1.28.
48 - To properly support panel plugins built with Wayland (in-process) support, we are introducing `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraPanelApplets` option, please use that for installing panel applets.
49 - Similarly, please use `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraCajaExtensions` option for installing Caja extensions.
50 - To use the Wayland session, enable `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.enableWaylandSession`. This is opt-in for now as it is in early stage and introduces a new set of Wayfire closure. Due to [known issues with LightDM](https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/63), we suggest using SDDM for display manager.
51
52- Plasma 6 is now available and can be installed with `services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;`. Plasma 5 will likely be deprecated in the next release (24.11). Note that Plasma 6 runs as Wayland by default, and the X11 session needs to be explicitly selected if necessary.
53

201
202## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-24.05-incompatibilities}
203
204<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
205
206- `akkoma` now requires explicitly setting the base URL for uploaded media (`settings."Pleroma.Upload".base_url`), as well as for the media proxy if enabled (`settings."Media"`).
207 This is recommended to be a separate (sub)domain to the one Akkoma is hosted at.
208 See [here](https://meta.akkoma.dev/t/akkoma-stable-2024-03-securer-i-barely-know-her/681#explicit-upload-and-media-proxy-domains-5) for more details.
209
210- `appimageTools.wrapAppImage` now creates the binary at `$out/bin/${pname}` rather than `$out/bin/${pname}-${version}`, which will break downstream workarounds.
211
212- `azure-cli` now has extension support. For example, to install the `aks-preview` extension, use
213
214 ```nix
215 environment.systemPackages = [
216 (azure-cli.withExtensions [ azure-cli.extensions.aks-preview ])
217 ];
218 ```
219 To make the `azure-cli` immutable and prevent clashes in case `azure-cli` is also installed via other package managers, some configuration files were moved into the derivation.
220 This can be disabled by overriding `withImmutableConfig = false` when building `azure-cli`.
221
222- `boot.supportedFilesystems` and `boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems` are now attribute sets instead of lists. Assignment from lists as done previously is still supported, but checking whether a filesystem is enabled must now by done using `supportedFilesystems.fs or false` instead of using `lib.elem "fs" supportedFilesystems` as was done previously.
223
224- `buildGoModule` now throws an error when `vendorHash` is not specified. `vendorSha256`, deprecated in Nixpkgs 23.11, is now ignored and is no longer a `vendorHash` alias.
225
226- `chromium` and `ungoogled-chromium` had a long standing issue regarding Widevine DRM handling in nixpkgs fixed.
227 `chromium` now no longer automatically downloads Widevine when encountering DRM protected content.
228 To be able to play DRM protected content in `chromium` now, you have to explicitly opt-in as originally intended using `chromium.override { enableWideVine = true; }`.
229 This override has been added almost 10 years ago.
230
231- `craftos-pc` package has been updated to v2.8, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/tag/v2.8).
232 - Files are now handled in binary mode; this could break programs with embedded UTF-8 characters.
233 - The ROM was updated to match ComputerCraft version v1.109.2.
234 - The bundled Lua was updated to Lua v5.2, which includes breaking changes. See the [Lua manual](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#8) for more information.
235 - The WebSocket API [was rewritten](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/issues/337), which introduced breaking changes.
236
237- `cryptsetup` has been upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.7.0. Cryptsetup is a critical component enabling LUKS-based (but not only) full disk encryption.
238 Take the time to review [the release notes](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/raw/v2.7.0/docs/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotes).
239 One of the highlights is that it is now possible to use hardware OPAL-based encryption of your disk with `cryptsetup`. It has a lot of caveats, see the above notes for the full details.
240
241- `crystal` package has been updated to 1.11.x, which has some breaking changes.
242 Refer to crystal's changelog for more information. ([v1.10](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1100-2023-10-09), [v1.11](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1110-2024-01-08))
243
244- `cudaPackages` package scope has been updated to `cudaPackages_12`.
245
246- `cudaPackages.autoAddOpenGLRunpathHook` and `cudaPackages.autoAddDriverRunpath` have been deprecated for `pkgs.autoAddDriverRunpath`. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.
247
248- `cudaPackages.cudatoolkit` has been deprecated and replaced with a
249 symlink-based wrapper for the splayed redistributable CUDA packages. The
250 wrapper only includes tools and libraries necessary to build common packages
251 like e.g. tensorflow. The original runfile-based `cudatoolkit` is still
252 available as `cudatoolkit-legacy-runfile`.
253
254- `cudaPackages.nsight_systems` now has most vendored third party libraries removed, though we now only ship it for `cudaPackages_11_8` and later due to outdated dependencies. Users comfortable with the vendored dependencies may use `overrideAttrs` to amend the `postPatch` phase and the `meta.broken` correspondingly. Alternatively, one could package the deprecated `boost170` locally, as required for `cudaPackages_11_4.nsight_systems`.
255
256- `cudaPackages.autoFixElfFiles` has been deprecated for `pkgs.autoFixElfFiles`. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.
257
258- `davfs2`' `services.davfs2.extraConfig` setting has been deprecated and converted to the free-form type option named `services.davfs2.settings` according to RFC42.
259
260- `dwarf-fortress` has been updated to version 50, and its derivations continue to menace with spikes of Nix and bash. Version 50 is identical to the version on Steam, but without the paid elements like tilepacks.
261 dfhack and Dwarf Therapist still work, and older versions are still packaged in case you'd like to roll back. Note that DF 50 saves will not be compatible with DF 0.47 and earlier.
262 See [Bay 12 Games](http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/) for more details on what's new in Dwarf Fortress.
263
264 - Running an earlier version can be achieved through an override: `dwarf-fortress-packages.dwarf-fortress-full.override { dfVersion = "0.47.5"; }`
265
266 - Ruby plugin support has been disabled in DFHack. Many of the Ruby plugins have been converted to Lua, and support was removed upstream due to frequent crashes.
267
268- `erlang-ls` package no longer ships the `els_dap` binary as of v0.51.0.
269
270- `erlang_node_short_name`, `erlang_node_name`, `port` and `options` configuration parameters are gone, and have been replaced with an `environment` parameter.
271 Use the appropriate [environment variables](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables) inside `environment` to configure the service instead.
272
273- `firefox-devedition`, `firefox-beta`, `firefox-esr` executable file names for now match their package names, which is consistent with the `firefox-*-bin` packages. The desktop entries are also updated so that you can have multiple editions of firefox in your app launcher.
274
275- `gauge` now supports installing plugins using nix. For the old imperative approach, switch to `gauge-unwrapped`.
276 You can load plugins from an existing gauge manifest file using `gauge.fromManifest ./path/to/manifest.json` or
277 specify plugins in nix using `gauge.withPlugins (p: with p; [ js html-report xml-report ])`.
278
279- `gitea` has been updated to 1.21, which introduces several breaking changes, including:
280 - Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in `custom/public/*` now belong in `custom/public/assets/*`
281 - New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the `[database].CHARSET` config option and always use the `utf8mb4` charset, existing instances should migrate via the `gitea doctor convert` CLI command.
282
283- `git-town` was updated from version 11 to 13. See the [changelog](https://github.com/git-town/git-town/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#1300-2024-03-22) for breaking changes.
284
285- `gonic` has been updated to v0.16.4. Config now requires `playlists-path` to be set. See the rest of the [v0.16.0 release notes](https://github.com/sentriz/gonic/releases/tag/v0.16.0) for more details.
286
287- `go-ethereum` has been updated to v1.14.3. Geth v1.14.0 introduced a brand new live-tracing feature,
288 which required a number of breaking internal API changes. If you had your own native tracers implemented before this change,
289 the [changelog](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/master/core/tracing/CHANGELOG.md) contains the necessary steps needed to update your old code for the new APIs.
290 Geth v1.14.0 drops support for running pre-merge networks ([#29169](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29169)).
291 It also stops automatically constructing the pending block ([#28623](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/28623)),
292 removes support for filtering pending logs, switched to using Go v1.22 by default (#28946), which means we've dropped support for Go v1.20.
293 See [the 1.14.0 release notes](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.14.0) for more details.
294
295- `grafana-loki` has been updated to 3.0.0, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v3.0.0).
296
297- `gtest` package has been updated past v1.13.0, which requires C++14 or higher.
298
299- `hare` may now be cross-compiled. For that to work, however, `haredoc` needed to stop being built together with it. Thus, the latter is now its own package with the name of `haredoc`.
300
301- `himalaya` has been updated to v1.0.0-beta.4, which introduces breaking changes. Check out the [release note](https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.4) for details.
302
303- `halloy` has been updated to 2024.5, which introduced a breaking change by switching the config format from YAML to TOML. See https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/releases/tag/2024.5 for details.
304
305- `hvm` was updated to version 2.
306
307- `icu` no longer includes `install-sh` and `mkinstalldirs` in the shared folder.
308
309- `idris2` was updated to v0.7.0. This version introduces breaking changes. Check out the [changelog](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/v0.7.0/CHANGELOG.md#v070) for details.
310
311- `inetutils` now has a lower priority to avoid shadowing the commonly used `util-linux`. If one wishes to restore the default priority, simply use `lib.setPrio 5 inetutils` or override with `meta.priority = 5`.
312
313- `jdt-language-server` package now uses upstream's provided python wrapper instead of our own custom wrapper. This results in the following breaking and notable changes:
314
315 - The main binary for the package is now named `jdtls` instead of `jdt-language-server`, equivalent to what most editors expect the binary to be named.
316
317 - JVM arguments should now be provided with the `--jvm-arg` flag instead of setting `JAVA_OPTS`.
318
319 - The `-data` path is no longer required to run the package, and will be set to point to a folder in `$TMP` if missing.
320
321- `julia` environments can now be built with arbitrary packages from the ecosystem using the `.withPackages` function. For example: `julia.withPackages ["Plots"]`.
322
323- `k3s` has been updated to version [v1.30](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/tag/v1.30.0%2Bk3s1), previous supported versions are available under release specific names (e.g. k3s_1_27, k3s_1_28, and k3s_1_29) and present to help you migrate to the latest supported version. See [changelog and upgrade notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.30.md#changelog-since-v1290) for more information.
324
325- `k9s` was updated to v0.31. There have been various breaking changes in the config file format,
326 check out the changelog of [v0.29](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.29.0),
327 [v0.30](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.30.0) and
328 [v0.31](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.31.0) for details. It is recommended
329 to back up your current configuration and let k9s recreate the new base configuration.
330
331- `kanata` package has been updated to v1.6.1, which includes breaking changes. Check out the changelog of [v1.5.0](https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/tag/v1.5.0) and [v1.6.0](https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/tag/v1.6.0) for details.
332
333- `linuxPackages_testing_bcachefs` is now fully deprecated by `linuxPackages_latest`, and is therefore no longer available.
334
335- `livebook` package is now built as a `mix release` instead of an `escript`.
336 This means that configuration now has to be done using [environment variables](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables) instead of command line arguments.
337 This has the further implication that the `livebook` service configuration has changed:
338
339- `lua` interpreters default LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are not overriden by nixpkgs
340 anymore, we patch LUA_ROOT instead which is more respectful to upstream.
341
342- `luarocks-packages-updater` has changed the .csv format used to define lua packages updates: `src` (URL towards a git repository) has now become `rockspec` (URL towards a rockspec) to remove ambiguity regarding which rockspec to use and simplify implementation.
343
344- `mkosi` was updated to v22. Parts of the user interface have changed. Consult the
345 release notes of [v19](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v19),
346 [v20](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v20),
347 [v21](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v21) and
348 [v22](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v22) for a list of changes.
349
350- `mongodb-4_4` has been removed as it has reached end of life. Consequently, `unifi7` and `unifi8` now use MongoDB 5.0 by default.
351
352- `mongodb-5_0` and newer requires a cpu with the avx instruction set to run.
353
354- `neo4j` has been updated to version 5. You may want to read the [release notes for Neo4j 5](https://neo4j.com/release-notes/database/neo4j-5/).
355
356- `netbox` was updated to v3.7. `services.netbox.package` still defaults
357 to v3.6 if `stateVersion` is earlier than 24.05. Refer to upstream's breaking
358 changes [for
359 v3.7.0](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v3.7.0) and
360 upgrade NetBox by changing `services.netbox.package`. Database migrations
361 will be run automatically.
362
363- `network-interfaces.target` system target was removed as it has been deprecated for a long time. Use `network.target` instead.
364
365- `networking.iproute2.enable` now does not set `environment.etc."iproute2/rt_tables".text`.
366
367 Setting `environment.etc."iproute2/{CONFIG_FILE_NAME}".text` will override the whole configuration file instead of appending it to the upstream configuration file.
368
369 `CONFIG_FILE_NAME` includes `bpf_pinning`, `ematch_map`, `group`, `nl_protos`, `rt_dsfield`, `rt_protos`, `rt_realms`, `rt_scopes`, and `rt_tables`.
370
371- `nextcloud26` has been removed since it's not maintained anymore by upstream. The latest available version of Nextcloud is now v29 (available as `pkgs.nextcloud29`). The installation logic is as follows:
372 - If [`services.nextcloud.package`](#opt-services.nextcloud.package) is specified explicitly, this package will be installed (**recommended**)
373 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=24.05, `pkgs.nextcloud29` will be installed by default.
374 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=23.11, `pkgs.nextcloud27` will be installed by default.
375 - Please note that an upgrade from v27 (or older) to v29 directly is not possible. Please upgrade to `nextcloud28` (or earlier) first. Nextcloud prohibits skipping major versions while upgrading. You can upgrade by declaring [`services.nextcloud.package = pkgs.nextcloud28;`](options.html#opt-services.nextcloud.package).
376 - Known warnings after the upgrade are documented in [](#module-services-nextcloud-known-warnings) from now on.
377 - The "Photos" app only displays Media from inside the `Photos` directory. This can be changed manually in the "Photos" tab below "Photos settings".
378
379- `nitter` requires a `guest_accounts.jsonl` to be provided as a path or loaded into the default location at `/var/lib/nitter/guest_accounts.jsonl`. See [Guest Account Branch Deployment](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Guest-Account-Branch-Deployment) for details.
380
381- `nixVersions.unstable` was removed. Instead the following attributes are provided:
382 - `nixVersions.git` which tracks the latest Nix master and is roughly updated once a week. This is intended to enable people to easily test unreleased changes of Nix to catch regressions earlier.
383 - `nixVersions.latest` which points to the latest Nix version packaged in nixpkgs.
384
385- `nomad` has been updated - note that HashiCorp recommends updating one minor version at a time. Please check [their upgrade guide](https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/upgrade) for information on safely updating clusters and potential breaking changes.
386
387 - `nomad` is now Nomad 1.7.x.
388
389 - `nomad_1_4` has been removed, as it is now unsupported upstream.
390
391- `nvtop` family of packages was reorganized into nested attrset. `nvtop` has been renamed to `nvtopPackages.full`, and all `nvtop-{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}` packages are now named as `nvtopPackages.{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}`.
392
393- `openssh`, `openssh_hpn` and `openssh_gssapi` are now compiled without support for the DSA signature algorithm as it is being deprecated upstream. Users still relying on DSA keys should consider upgrading
394 to another signature algorithm. However, for the time being it is possible to restore DSA key support using `override` to set `dsaKeysSupport = true`.
395
396- `optparse-bash` is now dropped due to upstream inactivity. Alternatives available in Nixpkgs include [`argc`](https://github.com/sigoden/argc), [`argbash`](https://github.com/matejak/argbash), [`bashly`](https://github.com/DannyBen/bashly) and [`gum`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum), to name a few.
397
398- `paperless`' `services.paperless.extraConfig` setting has been removed and converted to the free-form type and option named `services.paperless.settings`.
399
400- `pdns` was updated to version [v4.9.x](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/changelog/4.9.html), which introduces breaking changes. Check out the [Upgrade Notes](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/upgrading.html#to-4-9-0) for details.
401
402- `percona-server` now follows [the same two-fold release cycle](https://www.percona.com/blog/lts-and-innovation-releases-for-percona-server-for-mysql/) as Oracle MySQL and provides a *Long-Term-Support (LTS)* in parallel with a continuous-delivery *Innovation* release. `percona-server` defaults to `percona-server_lts`, will be backed by the same release branch throughout the lifetime of this stable NixOS release, and is still available under the versioned attribute `percona-server_8_0`.
403 The `percona-server_innovation` releases however have support periods shorter than the lifetime of this NixOS release and will continuously be updated to newer Percona releases. Note that Oracle considers the *Innovation* releases to be production-grade, but each release might include backwards-incompatible changes, even in its on-disk format.
404 The same release scheme is applied to the supporting `percona-xtrabackup` tool as well.
405
406- `pipewire` and `wireplumber` modules have removed support for using
407`environment.etc."pipewire/..."` and `environment.etc."wireplumber/..."`.
408Use `services.pipewire.extraConfig` or `services.pipewire.configPackages` for PipeWire and
409`services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages` for WirePlumber instead."
410
411- `power.ups` now generates `upsd.conf`, `upsd.users` and `upsmon.conf` automatically from a set of new configuration options. This breaks compatibility with existing `power.ups` setups where these files were created manually. Back up these files before upgrading NixOS.
412
413- `programs.nix-ld.libraries` no longer sets `baseLibraries` via the option's default but in config and now merges any additional libraries with the default ones.
414 This means that `lib.mkForce` must be used to clear the list of default libraries.
415
416- `screen`'s module has been cleaned, and will now require you to set `programs.screen.enable` in order to populate `screenrc` and add the program to the environment.
417
418- `security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` now requires `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` to be non-empty,
419 which is the case when `services.openssh.enable` is true. Previously, `pam_ssh_agent_auth` silently failed to work.
420
421- `security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` was replaced by the `sshAgentAuth` attrset, and **only**
422 `authorized_keys` files listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`] are trusted,
423 defaulting to `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/%u`.
424 ::: {.warning}
425 Users of {manpage}`pam_ssh_agent_auth(8)` must take care that the pubkeys they use (for instance with `sudo`)
426 are listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`].
427 :::
428 ::: {.note}
429 Previously, all `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` were trusted, including `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`,
430 which results in an **insecure** configuration; see [#31611](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31611).
431 :::
432
433[`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`]: #opt-security.pam.sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles
434
435- `services.archisteamfarm` no longer uses the abbreviation `asf` for its state directory (`/var/lib/asf`), user and group (both `asf`). Instead the long name `archisteamfarm` is used.
436 Configurations with `system.stateVersion` 23.11 or earlier, default to the old stateDirectory until the 24.11 release and must either set the option explicitly or move the data to the new directory.
437
438- `frr` was updated to 10.0, which introduces the default of `enforce-first-as` for BGP. Please disable again if needed.
439
440- `services.aria2.rpcSecret` has been replaced with `services.aria2.rpcSecretFile`.
441 This was done so that secrets aren't stored in the world-readable nix store.
442 To migrate, you will have to create a file with the same exact string, and change
443 your module options to point to that file. For example, `services.aria2.rpcSecret =
444 "mysecret"` becomes `services.aria2.rpcSecretFile = "/path/to/secret_file"`
445 where the file `secret_file` contains the string `mysecret`.
446
447- `services.avahi.nssmdns` got split into `services.avahi.nssmdns4` and `services.avahi.nssmdns6` which enable the mDNS NSS switch for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
448 Since most mDNS responders only register IPv4 addresses, most users want to keep the IPv6 support disabled to avoid long timeouts.
449
450- `services.frp.settings` now generates the frp configuration file in TOML format as [recommended by upstream](https://github.com/fatedier/frp#configuration-files), instead of the legacy INI format. This has also introduced other changes in the configuration file structure and options.
451 - The `settings.common` section in the configuration is no longer valid and all the options form inside it now goes directly under `settings`.
452 - The `_` separating words in the configuration options is removed so the options are now in camel case. For example: `server_addr` becomes `serverAddr`, `server_port` becomes `serverPort` etc.
453 - Proxies are now defined with a new option `settings.proxies` which takes a list of proxies.
454 - Consult the [upstream documentation](https://github.com/fatedier/frp#example-usage) for more details on the changes.
455
456- `services.hledger-web.capabilities` options has been replaced by a new option `services.hledger-web.allow`.
457
458 - `allow = "view"` means `capabilities = { view = true; }`;
459 - `allow = "add"` means `capabilities = { view = true; add = true; }`;
460 - `allow = "edit"` means `capabilities = { view = true; add = true; edit = true }`;
461 - `allow = "sandstorm"` reads permissions from the `X-Sandstorm-Permissions` request header.
462
463- `services.homepage-dashboard` now takes its configuration using native Nix expressions, rather than dumping templated configurations into `/var/lib/homepage-dashboard` where they were previously managed manually. There are now new options which allow the configuration of bookmarks, services, widgets and custom CSS/JS natively in Nix.
464
465- `services.invidious.settings.db.user`, the default database username has changed from `kemal` to `invidious`. Setups involving an externally-provisioned database (i.e. `services.invidious.database.createLocally == false`) should adjust their configuration accordingly. The old `kemal` user will not be removed automatically even when the database is provisioned automatically.(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265857).
466
467- `services.oauth2_proxy` was renamed to `services.oauth2-proxy`. Also the corresponding service, user and group were renamed.
468
469- `services.smokeping` now has an option `webService`. When enabled, smokeping is now served via nginx instead of thttpd. This change brings the following consequences:
470 - The default port for smokeping is now the nginx default port 80 instead of 8081.
471 - The option `services.smokeping.port` has been removed. To customize the port, use `services.nginx.virtualHosts.smokeping.listen.*.port`.
472
473- `services.neo4j.allowUpgrade` was removed and no longer has any effect. Neo4j 5 supports automatic rolling upgrades.
474
475- `services.nextcloud` has the following options moved into [`services.nextcloud.settings`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings) and renamed to match the name from Nextcloud's `config.php`:
476 - `logLevel` -> [`loglevel`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.loglevel),
477 - `logType` -> [`log_type`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.log_type),
478 - `defaultPhoneRegion` -> [`default_phone_region`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.default_phone_region),
479 - `overwriteProtocol` -> [`overwriteprotocol`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.overwriteprotocol),
480 - `skeletonDirectory` -> [`skeletondirectory`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.skeletondirectory),
481 - `globalProfiles` -> [`profile.enabled`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings._profile.enabled_),
482 - `extraTrustedDomains` -> [`trusted_domains`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.trusted_domains) and
483 - `trustedProxies` -> [`trusted_proxies`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.trusted_proxies).
484
485- `services.nginx` will no longer advertise HTTP/3 availability automatically. This must now be manually added, preferably to each location block.
486 Example:
487
488 ```nix
489 {
490 locations."/".extraConfig = ''
491 add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
492 '';
493 locations."^~ /assets/".extraConfig = ''
494 add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
495 '';
496 }
497 ```
498
499- `services.pgbouncer` now has systemd support enabled and will log to journald. The default setting for `services.pgbouncer.logFile` is now `null` to disable logging to a separate log file.
500
501- `services.postgresql.ensureUsers._.ensurePermissions` has been removed as it is
502 not declarative and is broken with newer postgresql versions. Consider using
503 [](#opt-services.postgresql.ensureUsers._.ensureDBOwnership)
504 instead or a tool that is more suited for managing the data inside a postgresql database.
505
506- `services.redis.vmOverCommit` now defaults to `true` and no longer enforces Transparent Hugepages (THP) to be disabled. Redis only works with THP configured to `madvise` which is the kernel's default.
507
508- `services.resolved.fallbackDns` can now be used to disable the upstream fallback servers entirely by setting it to an empty list. To get the previous behaviour of the upstream defaults set it to null, the new default, instead.
509
510- `services.vikunja` systemd service now uses `vikunja` as dynamic user instead of `vikunja-api`. Database users might need to be changed.
511
512- `services.vikunja.setupNginx` setting has been removed. Users now need to setup the webserver configuration on their own with a proxy pass to the vikunja service.
513
514- `services.vmagent` module deprecates `dataDir`, `group` and `user` setting in favor of systemd provided CacheDirectory and DynamicUser.
515
516- `services.vmagent.remoteWriteUrl` setting has been renamed to `services.vmagent.remoteWrite.url` and now defaults to `null`.
517
518- `services.zope2` has been removed, as `zope2` is unmaintained and was relying on Python 2.
519
520- `spark2014` has been renamed to `gnatprove`. A version of `gnatprove` matching different GNAT versions is available from the different `gnatPackages` sets.
521
522- `stalwart-mail` has been updated to v0.5.3, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/v0.5.3/UPGRADING.md).
523
524- `system.etc.overlay.enable` option was added. If enabled, `/etc` is
525 mounted via an overlayfs instead of being created by a custom perl script.
526
527- `system.forbiddenDependenciesRegex` has been renamed to `system.forbiddenDependenciesRegexes` and now has the type of `listOf string` instead of `string` to accept multiple regexes.
528
529- `systemd.oomd` module behavior is changed as:
530
531 - Raise ManagedOOMMemoryPressureLimit from 50% to 80%. This should make systemd-oomd kill things less often, and fix issues like [this](https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/358).
532 Reference: [commit](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/c/806c95e1c70af18f81d499b24cd7acfa4c36ffd6?branch=806c95e1c70af18f81d499b24cd7acfa4c36ffd6).
533
534 - Remove swap policy. This helps prevent killing processes when user's swap is small.
535
536 - Expand the memory pressure policy to system.slice, user-.slice, and all user owned slices. Reference: [commit](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/c/7665e1796f915dedbf8e014f0a78f4f576d609bb).
537
538 - `systemd.oomd.enableUserServices` is renamed to `systemd.oomd.enableUserSlices`.
539
540- `systemd.sysusers.enable` option was added. If enabled, users and
541 groups are created with systemd-sysusers instead of with a custom perl script.
542
543- `teleport` has been upgraded from major version 14 to major version 15.
544 Refer to upstream [upgrade instructions](https://goteleport.com/docs/management/operations/upgrading/)
545 and release notes for [v15](https://goteleport.com/docs/changelog/#1500-013124).
546
547- `unifiLTS`, `unifi5` and `unifi6` have been removed, as they require MongoDB versions which are end-of-life. All these versions can be upgraded to `unifi7` directly.
548
549- `unrar` was updated to v7. See [changelog](https://www.rarlab.com/unrar7notes.htm) for more information.
550
551- `virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia` and `virtualisation.podman.enableNvidia` options are deprecated. `hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit.enable` should be used instead. This option will expose GPUs on containers with the `--device` CLI option. This is supported by Docker 25, Podman 3.2.0 and Singularity 4. Any container runtime that supports the CDI specification will take advantage of this feature.
552
553- `virtialisation.incus` now defaults to the newly-added `incus-lts` release (v6.0.x). Users who wish to continue using the non-LTS release will need to set `virtualisation.incus.package = pkgs.incus`. Stable release users are encouraged to stay on the LTS release as non-LTS releases will by default not be backported.
554
555- [watchdogd](https://troglobit.com/projects/watchdogd/), a system and process supervisor using watchdog timers. Available as [services.watchdogd](#opt-services.watchdogd.enable).
556
557- `woodpecker-*` packages have been updated to v2 which includes [breaking changes](https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/next/migrations#200).
558
559- `wpaperd` has been updated to 1.0.1, which has a breaking change: previous version 0.3.0 had 2 different configuration files, one for wpaperd and one for the wallpapers. Remove the former and move the latter (`wallpaper.toml`) to `config.toml`.
560
561- `writeReferencesToFile` is deprecated in favour of the new trivial build helper `writeClosure`. The latter accepts a list of paths and has an unambiguous name and cleaner implementation.
562
563- `xfsprogs` was updated to version 6.6.0, which enables reverse mapping (rmapbt) and large extent counts (nrext64) by default.
564 Support for these features was added in kernel 4.9 and 5.19 and nrext64 was deemed stable in kernel 6.5.
565 Format your filesystems with `mkfs.xfs -i nrext64=0`, if they need to be readable by GRUB2 before 2.12 or kernels older than 5.19.
566
567- `xxd` has been moved from `vim` default output to its own output to reduce closure size. The canonical way to reference it across all platforms is `unixtools.xxd`.
568
569- `youtrack` is bumped to 2023.3. The update is not performed automatically, it requires manual interaction. See the YouTrack section in the manual for details.
570
571- Ada packages (libraries and tools) have been moved into the `gnatPackages` scope. `gnatPackages` uses the default GNAT compiler, `gnat12Packages` and `gnat13Packages` use the respective matching compiler version.
572
573- Paths provided as `restartTriggers` and `reloadTriggers` for systemd units will now be copied into the nix store to make the behavior consistent.
574 Previously, `restartTriggers = [ ./config.txt ]`, if defined in a flake, would trigger a restart when any part of the flake changed; and if not defined in a flake, would never trigger a restart even if the contents of `config.txt` changed.
575
576- A warning has been added for services that are
577 `after = [ "network-online.target" ]` but do not depend on it (e.g. using
578 `wants`), because the dependency that `multi-user.target` has on
579 `network-online.target` is planned for removal.
580
581- switch-to-configuration does not directly call systemd-tmpfiles anymore.
582 Instead, the new artificial sysinit-reactivation.target is introduced which
583 allows to restart multiple services that are ordered before sysinit.target
584 and respect the ordering between the services.
585
586- The configuration format for `services.prometheus.exporters.snmp` changed with release 0.23.0.
587 The module now includes an optional config check, that is enabled by default, to make the change obvious before any deployment.
588 More information about the configuration syntax change is available in the [upstream repository](https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/b75fc6b839ee3f3ccbee68bee55f1ae99555084a/auth-split-migration.md).

590## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-24.05-notable-changes}
591
592<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
593
594- `addDriverRunpath` has been added to facilitate the deprecation of the old `addOpenGLRunpath` setuphook. This change is motivated by the evolution of the setuphook to include all hardware acceleration.
595
596- `appimage`, `appimageTools.wrapAppImage` and `buildFHSEnvBubblewrap` now properly accepts `pname` and `version`.
597
598- `bacula` now allows to configure `TLS` for encrypted communication.
599
600- `boot.initrd.network.ssh.authorizedKeyFiles` is a new option in the initrd ssh daemon module, for adding authorized keys via list of files.
601
602- `boot.kernel.sysctl."net.core.wmem_max"` changed from a string to an integer because of the addition of a custom merge option (taking the highest value defined to avoid conflicts between 2 services trying to set that value), just as `boot.kernel.sysctl."net.core.rmem_max"` since 22.11.
603
604- `boot.loader.systemd-boot.xbootldrMountPoint` is a new option for setting up a separate [XBOOTLDR partition](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/) to store boot files. Useful on systems with a small EFI System partition that cannot be easily repartitioned.
605
606- `boot.loader.systemd-boot` will now verify that `efiSysMountPoint` (and `xbootldrMountPoint` if configured) are mounted partitions.
607
608- `buildDubPackage` can now be used to build Programs written in [D](https://dlang.org/) using the `dub` build system and package manager.
609 See the [D section](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#dlang) in the manual for more information.
610
611- `castopod` has some migration actions to be taken in case of a S3 setup. Some new features may also need some manual migration actions. See [https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/releases](https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/releases) for more informations.
612
613- `cinnamon` has been updated to 6.0. Please beware that the [Wayland session](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4591) is still experimental in this release and could potentially [affect Xorg sessions](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4639). We suggest a reboot when switching between sessions.
614
615- `documentation.man.mandoc` now by default uses `MANPATH` to set the directories where mandoc will search for manual pages.
616 This enables mandoc to find manual pages in Nix profiles. To set the manual search paths via the `mandoc.conf` configuration file like before, use `documentation.man.mandoc.settings.manpath` instead.
617
618- `drbd` out-of-tree Linux kernel driver has been added in version 9.2.7. With it the DRBD 9.x features can be used instead of the 8.x features provided by the 8.4.11 in-tree driver.
619
620- `garage` has been updated to v1.x.x. Users should read the [upstream release notes](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/releases/tag/v1.0.0) and follow the documentation when changing over their `services.garage.package` and performing this manual upgrade.
621
622- `hardware.pulseaudio` module now sets permission of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in "systemWide" mode. It fixes [issue 114399](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114399).
623
624- `kavita` has been updated to 0.8.0, requiring a manual forced library scan on all libraries for migration. Refer to upstream's [release notes](https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/releases/tag/v0.8.0) for details.
625
626- `krb5` module has been rewritten and moved to `security.krb5`, moving all options but `security.krb5.enable` and `security.krb5.package` into `security.krb5.settings`.
627
628- `libass` now uses the native CoreText backend on Darwin, which may fix subtitle rendering issues with `mpv`, `ffmpeg`, etc.
629
630- `libjxl` version bumped from 0.8.2 to 0.9.1 [dropped support for the butteraugli API](https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/pull/2576). You will no longer be able to set `enableButteraugli` on `libaom`.
631
632- [`lilypond`](https://lilypond.org/index.html) and [`denemo`](https://www.denemo.org) are now compiled with Guile 3.0.
633
634- `lxd` has been upgraded to v5.21.x, an LTS release. The LTS release is now the only supported LXD release. Users are encouraged to [migrate to Incus](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_migrate_lxd/) for better support on NixOS.
635
636- [`matrix-synapse`](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/) homeserver module now supports configuring UNIX domain socket [`listeners`](#opt-services.matrix-synapse.settings.listeners) through the `path` option.
637 The default replication worker on the main instance has been migrated away from TCP sockets to UNIX domain sockets.
638
639- `mockgen` has changed to the [go.uber.org/mock](https://github.com/uber-go/mock) fork because [the original repository is no longer maintained](https://github.com/golang/mock#gomock).
640
641- `mpich` now requires `withPm` to be a list, e.g. `"hydra:gforker"` becomes `[ "hydra" "gforker" ]`.
642
643- `nextcloud-setup.service` no longer changes the group of each file & directory inside `/var/lib/nextcloud/{config,data,store-apps}` if one of these directories has the wrong owner group. This was part of transitioning the group used for `/var/lib/nextcloud`, but isn't necessary anymore.
644
645- `oils-for-unix`, the oil shell's c++ version is now available. The python version is still available as `oil`.
646
647- `pkgsExtraHardening`, a new top-level package set, was added. This is a set of packages built with stricter hardening flags - those that have not yet received enough testing to be applied universally, those that are more likely to cause build failures or those that have drawbacks to their use (e.g. performance or required hardware features).
648
649- [`portunus`](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus) has been updated to major version 2.
650 This version of Portunus supports strong password hashes, but the legacy hash SHA-256 is also still supported to ensure a smooth migration of existing user accounts.
651 After upgrading, follow the instructions on the [upstream release notes](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus/releases/tag/v2.0.0) to upgrade all user accounts to strong password hashes.
652 Support for weak password hashes will be removed in NixOS 24.11.
653
654- `programs.fish.package` now allows you to override the package used in the `fish` module.
655
656- `qt6.qtmultimedia` has changed its default backend to `QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=ffmpeg` (previously `gstreamer` on Linux or `darwin` on macOS).
657 The previous native backends remain available but are now minimally maintained. Refer to [upstream documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-index.html#ffmpeg-as-the-default-backend) for further details about each platform.
658
659- `services.btrbk` now automatically selects and provides required compression
660 program depending on the configured `stream_compress` option. Since this
661 replaces the need for the `extraPackages` option, this option will be
662 deprecated in future releases.
663
664- `services.github-runner` module has been removed. To configure a single GitHub Actions Runner refer to `services.github-runners.*`. Note that this will trigger a new runner registration.
665
666- `services.networkmanager.extraConfig` was renamed to `services.networkmanager.settings` and was changed to use the ini type instead of using a multiline string.
667
668- `services.nextcloud.config.dbport` option of the Nextcloud module was removed to match upstream.
669 The port can be specified in [`services.nextcloud.config.dbhost`](#opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbhost).
670
671- `services.kavita` now uses the free-form option `services.kavita.settings` for the application settings file.
672 The options `services.kavita.ipAdresses` and `services.kavita.port` now exist at `services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses`
673 and `services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses`. The file at `services.kavita.tokenKeyFile` now needs to contain a secret with
674 512+ bits instead of 128+ bits.
675
676- `services.netbird` now allows running multiple tunnels in parallel through [`services.netbird.tunnels`](#opt-services.netbird.tunnels).
677
678- `services.nginx.virtualHosts` using `forceSSL` or
679 `globalRedirect` can now have redirect codes other than 301 through `redirectCode`.
680
681- `services.openssh` now has an option `authorizedKeysInHomedir`, controlling whether `~/.ssh/authorizedKeys` is
682 added to `authorizedKeysFiles`.
683 ::: {.note}
684 This option currently defaults to `true` for NixOS 24.05, preserving the previous behaviour.
685 This is expected to change in NixOS 24.11.
686 :::
687 ::: {.warning}
688 Users should check that their SSH keys are in `users.users.*.openssh`, or that they have another way to access
689 and administer the system, before setting this option to `false`.
690 :::
691
692- `services.paperless` module no longer uses the previously downloaded NLTK data stored in `/var/cache/paperless/nltk`. This directory can be removed.
693
694- `services.postgresql.extraPlugins` changed its type from just a list of packages to also a function that returns such a list.
695 For example a config line like ``services.postgresql.extraPlugins = with pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs; [ postgis ];`` is recommended to be changed to ``services.postgresql.extraPlugins = ps: with ps; [ postgis ];``;
696
697- `services.slskd` has been refactored to include more configuation options in
698 the free-form `services.slskd.settings` option, and some defaults (including listen ports)
699 have been changed to match the upstream defaults. Additionally, disk logging is now
700 disabled by default, and the log rotation timer has been removed.
701 The nginx virtualhost option is now of the `vhost-options` type.
702
703- `services.soju` now has a wrapper for the `sojuctl` command, pointed at the service config file. It also has the new option `adminSocket.enable`, which creates a unix admin socket at `/run/soju/admin`.
704
705- `services.stalwart-mail` uses the legacy version 0.6.X as default because newer `stalwart-mail` versions require a [manual upgrade process](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/main/UPGRADING.md). Change [`services.stalwart-mail.package`](#opt-services.stalwart-mail.package) to `pkgs.stalwart-mail` if you wish to switch to the new version.
706
707- `services.teeworlds` module now has a wealth of configuration options, including a new `package` option.
708
709- `services.xserver.desktopManager.budgie` installs `gnome.gnome-terminal` by default (instead of `mate.mate-terminal`).
710
711- `services.zfs.zed.enableMail` now uses the global `sendmail` wrapper defined by an email module
712 (such as msmtp or Postfix). It no longer requires using a special ZFS build with email support.
713
714- `sonarr` version bumped to from 3.0.10 to 4.0.3. Consequently existing config database files will be upgraded automatically, but note that some old apparently-working configs [might actually be corrupt and fail to upgrade cleanly](https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/sonarr-v4-released/33089).
715
716- `stdenv`: The `--replace` flag in `substitute`, `substituteInPlace`, `substituteAll`, `substituteAllStream`, and `substituteStream` is now deprecated if favor of the new `--replace-fail`, `--replace-warn` and `--replace-quiet`. The deprecated `--replace` equates to `--replace-warn`.
717
718- `systemd`: when merging unit options (of type `unitOption`),
719 if at least one definition is a list, all those which aren't are now lifted into a list,
720 making it possible to accumulate definitions without resorting to `mkForce`,
721 hence to retain the definitions not anticipating that need.
722
723- `systemd` units can now specify the `Upholds=` and `UpheldBy=` unit dependencies via the aptly
724 named `upholds` and `upheldBy` options. These options get systemd to enforce that the
725 dependencies remain continuosly running for as long as the dependent unit is in a running state.
726
727- A stdenv's default set of hardening flags can now be set via its `bintools-wrapper`'s `defaultHardeningFlags` argument. A convenient stdenv adapter, `withDefaultHardeningFlags`, can be used to override an existing stdenv's `defaultHardeningFlags`.
728
729- Programs written in [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/) are built with libraries selected by lockfiles.
730 The `nimPackages` and `nim2Packages` sets have been removed.
731 See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#nim for more information.
732
733- The EC2 image module now enables the [Amazon SSM Agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/ssm-agent.html) by default.
734
735- A new abstraction to create both read-only as well as writable overlay file
736 systems was added. Available via
737 [fileSystems.overlay](#opt-fileSystems._name_.overlay.lowerdir). See also the
738 [NixOS docs](#sec-overlayfs).
739
740- A new hardening flag, `zerocallusedregs` was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option `-fzero-call-used-regs=used-gpr`.
741
742- A new hardening flag, `trivialautovarinit` was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option `-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern`.
743
744- New options were added to the dnsdist module to enable and configure a DNSCrypt endpoint (see `services.dnsdist.dnscrypt.enable`, etc.).
745 The module can generate the DNSCrypt provider key pair, certificates and also performs their rotation automatically with no downtime.
746
747- The kernel Yama LSM is now enabled by default, which prevents ptracing
748 non-child processes. This means you will not be able to attach gdb to an
749 existing process, but will need to start that process from gdb (so it is a
750 child). Or you can set `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope"` to 0.
751
752- Lisp modules: previously deprecated interface based on `common-lisp.sh` has now been removed.
753
754- The `systemd-confinement` module extension is now compatible with `DynamicUser=true` and thus `ProtectSystem=strict` too.
