7Alongside many enhancements to NixOS modules and general system improvements, this release features the following highlights:
8
9- NixOS now has initial support for the [**COSMIC DE**](https://system76.com/cosmic) which is currently at **Alpha 7**. COSMIC is a Rust-based Desktop Environment by System76, makers of Pop!_OS. You can use COSMIC by enabling the greeter (login manager) with [](#opt-services.displayManager.cosmic-greeter.enable), and the DE itself by enabling [](#opt-services.desktopManager.cosmic.enable). The support in NixOS/Nixpkgs is stable but still considered experimental because of the recent the addition. The COSMIC maintainers will be waiting for one more release of NixOS to determine if the experimental tag should be removed or not. Until then, please report any issues to the [COSMIC DE tracker in Nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/259641) instead of upstream.
10
11- `nixos-rebuild-ng`, a full rewrite of `nixos-rebuild` in Python, is available for testing. You can enable it by setting [](#opt-system.rebuild.enableNg) in your configuration (this will replace the old `nixos-rebuild`), or by adding `nixos-rebuild-ng` to your `environment.systemPackages` (in this case, it will live side-by-side with `nixos-rebuild` as `nixos-rebuild-ng`). It is expected that the next major version of NixOS (25.11) will enable `system.rebuild.enableNg` by default.
12
13- A `nixos-rebuild build-image` sub-command has been added.
14 It allows users to build platform-specific (disk) images from their NixOS configurations. `nixos-rebuild build-image` works similar to the popular [nix-community/nixos-generators](https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators) project. See new [section on image building in the NixOS manual](#sec-image-nixos-rebuild-build-image). It is also available for `nixos-rebuild-ng`.
15
16- `nixos-option` has been rewritten to a Nix expression called by a simple bash script. This lowers our maintenance threshold, makes eval errors less verbose, adds support for flake-based configurations, descending into `attrsOf` and `listOf` submodule options, and `--show-trace`.
17
18- The global Mesa version can now be managed without a mass rebuild by setting [](#opt-hardware.graphics.package).
19
20- GNOME has been updated to version 48.
21
22 - `decibels` music player is now installed by default. You can disable it using [](#opt-environment.gnome.excludePackages).
23 - `gnome-shell-extensions` extension collection (which included GNOME Classic extensions, Apps Menu, and User Themes, among others) are no longer installed by default. You can install them again with {option}`services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.sessionPath`.
24 - Option [](#opt-services.gnome.core-developer-tools.enable) now also installs `sysprof` and `d-spy`.
25 - Option `services.gnome.core-utilities.enable` has been renamed to [](#opt-services.gnome.core-apps.enable).
26 - `cantarell-fonts`, `source-code-pro` and `source-sans` fonts are no longer installed by default. They have been replaced by `adwaita-fonts`.
27
28 Refer to the [GNOME release notes](https://release.gnome.org/48/) for more details.
29
30- [channels.nixos.org](https://channels.nixos.org) now supports the Lockable HTTP Tarball Protocol. This allows using the channel `nixexprs.tar` as Nix Flake input, e.g.:
31 ```
32 inputs.nixpkgs.url = "https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-25.05/nixexprs.tar.xz";
33 ```

252## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-25.05-incompatibilities}
253
254<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
255
256- `services.rippled` has been removed, as `rippled` was broken and had not been updated since 2022.
257
258- `services.rippleDataApi` has been removed, as `ripple-data-api` was broken and had not been updated since 2022.
259
260- The `nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-ec2-amis.nix` file is not supported anymore since 24.05. It will throw
261 and error starting 25.05 with instructions the following instructions:
262 The canonical source for NixOS AMIs is the AWS API. Please see https://nixos.org/download/#nixos-amazon or https://nixos.github.io/amis/ for instructions.
263
264- The latest available version of Nextcloud is v31 (available as `pkgs.nextcloud31`). The installation logic is as follows:
265 - If [`services.nextcloud.package`](#opt-services.nextcloud.package) is specified explicitly, this package will be installed (**recommended**)
266 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=24.11, `pkgs.nextcloud30` will be installed by default.
267 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=24.05, `pkgs.nextcloud31` will be installed by default.
268 - Please note that an upgrade from v29 (or older) to v31 directly is not possible. Please upgrade to `nextcloud30` (or earlier) first. Nextcloud prohibits skipping major versions while upgrading. You can upgrade by declaring [`services.nextcloud.package = pkgs.nextcloud30;`](#opt-services.nextcloud.package).
269
270- `services.cloudflare-dyndns.apiTokenFile` now must be just your Cloudflare api token. Previously it was supposed to be a file of the form `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=...`.
271
272- [](#opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbtype) is unset by default, the previous default was `sqlite`.
273 This was done because `sqlite` is not a reasonable default since it's
274 [not recommended by upstream](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/30/admin_manual/installation/system_requirements.html)
275 and thus doesn't qualify as default.
276
277- PowerDNS Recursor has been updated to version 5.1.2, which comes with a new YAML configuration format (`recursor.yml`)
278 and deprecates the previous format (`recursor.conf`). Accordingly, the NixOS option `services.pdns-recursor.settings`
279 has been renamed to [old-settings](#opt-services.pdns-recursor.old-settings) and will be provided for backward compatibility
280 until the next NixOS release. Users are asked to migrate their settings to the new [yaml-settings](#opt-services.pdns-recursor.old-settings)
281 option following this [guide](https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/appendices/yamlconversion.html).
282 Note that options other than `services.pdns-recursor.settings` are unaffacted by this change.
283
284- The `virtualisation.hypervGuest.videoMode` option has been removed. Standard tooling can now be used to configure display modes for Hyper-V VMs.
285
286- Nextcloud's default FPM pool settings have been increased according to upstream recommentations. It's advised
287 to review the new defaults and description of
288 [](#opt-services.nextcloud.poolSettings).
289
290- In `users.users` subuid allocation on systems with multiple users it could happen that some users' allocated subuid ranges collided with others. Now these users get new subuid ranges assigned. When this happens, a warning is issued on the first activation. If the subuids were used (e.g. with rootless container managers like podman), please change the ownership of affected files accordingly.
291
292- The `services.locate` module does no longer support findutil's `locate` due to its inferior performance compared to `mlocate` and `plocate`. The new default is `plocate`.
293 As the `service.locate.localuser` option only applied when using findutil's `locate`, it has also been removed.
294
295- `services.paperless` now installs `paperless-manage` as a normal system package instead of creating a symlink in `/var/lib/paperless`.
296 `paperless-manage` now also changes to the appropriate user when being executed.
297
298- `asusd` has been upgraded to version 6 which supports multiple aura devices. To account for this, the single `auraConfig` configuration option has been replaced with `auraConfigs` which is an attribute set of config options per each device. The config files may also be now specified as either source files or text strings; to account for this you will need to specify that `text` is used for your existing configs, e.g.:
299 ```diff
300 -services.asusd.asusdConfig = '''file contents'''
301 +services.asusd.asusdConfig.text = '''file contents'''
302 ```
303
304- `linuxPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable` now defaults to the `production` variant instead of `latest`.
305
306- `services.paperless.address` no longer accepts a domain name or Unix domain socket.
307
308- `networking.wireguard.enable = true` does not always add `wireguard-tools` to system packages anymore. Only when wireguard interfaces are configured, the backing implementation packages are added to system PATH.
309
310- `virtualisation/azure-common.nix`'s filesystem and grub configurations have been moved to `virtualisation/azure-image.nix`. This makes `azure-common.nix` more generic so it could be used for users who generate Azure image using other methods (e.g. nixos-generators and disko). For existing users depending on these configurations, please also import `azure-image.nix`.
311
312- `services.signald` has been removed as `signald` is unmaintained upstream and has been incompatible to official Signal servers for a long while.
313
314- The `earlyoom` service is now using upstream systemd service, which enables
315 hardening and filesystem isolation by default. If you need filesystem write
316 access or want to access home directory via `killHook`, hardening setting can
317 be changed via, e.g. `systemd.services.earlyoom.serviceConfig.ProtectSystem`.
318
319 `services.earlyoom.extraArgs` is now shell-escaped for each element without
320 word-breaking. So you want to write `extraArgs = [ "--prefer" "spaced pat" ]`
321 rather than previous `extraArgs = [ "--prefer 'spaced pat'" ]`.
322
323- `programs.less.lessopen` is now null by default. To restore the previous behaviour, set it to `''|${lib.getExe' pkgs.lesspipe "lesspipe.sh"} %s''`.
324
325- `hardware.pulseaudio` has been renamed to `services.pulseaudio`. The deprecated option names will continue to work, but causes a warning.
326
327- `services.nextcloud` now uses systemd's credential mechanism to read in secret files. The `nextcloud-occ` wrapper script implements this using `systemd-run`, as such it now also requires root privileges or `$CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY` set where running it as user `nextcloud` was enough previously.
328
329- `services.mongodb.initialRootPassword` has been replaced with the more secure option [`services.mongodb.initialRootPasswordFile`](#opt-services.mongodb.initialRootPasswordFile)
330
331- `services.bird2` has been renamed to `services.bird` and the default bird package has been switched to `bird3`. `bird2` can still be chosen via the `services.bird.package` option.
332
333- The behavior of the `networking.nat.externalIP` and `networking.nat.externalIPv6` options has been changed. `networking.nat.forwardPorts` now only forwards packets destined for the specified IP addresses.
334
335- `gitlab` has been updated from 17.x to 18.x and requires `postgresql` >= 16, as stated in the [documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/18.0/install/requirements/#postgresql). Check the [upgrade guide](#module-services-postgres-upgrading) in the NixOS manual on how to upgrade your PostgreSQL installation.
336
337- `services.gitlab` now requires the setting of `activeRecordPrimaryKeyFile`, `activeRecordDeterministicKeyFile`, `activeRecordSaltFile` as GitLab introduced Rails ActiveRecord encryption.
338
339- The Mattermost module ([`services.mattermost`](#opt-services.mattermost.enable)) and packages (`mattermost` and `mmctl`) have been substantially updated:
340 - `services.mattermost.listenAddress` has been split into [](#opt-services.mattermost.host) and [](#opt-services.mattermost.port). If your `listenAddress` contained a port, you will need to edit your configuration. This will be the only truly breaking change in this release for most configurations.
341 - [](#opt-services.mattermost.preferNixConfig) now defaults to true if you advance [](#opt-system.stateVersion) to 25.05. This means that if you have [](#opt-services.mattermost.mutableConfig) set, NixOS will override settings set in the Admin Console to those that you define in the module configuration. It is recommended to leave this at the default, even if you used a fully mutable configuration before, because it will ensure that your Mattermost data directories are correct. If you moved your data directories, you may want to review the module changes before upgrading.
342 - Mattermost now supports peer authentication on both MySQL and Postgres database backends. Updating [](#opt-system.stateVersion) to 25.05 or later will result in peer authentication being used by default if the Mattermost server would otherwise be connecting to localhost. This is the recommended configuration.
343 - Note that the Mattermost module will create an account _without_ a well-known UID if the username differs from the default (`mattermost`). If you used Mattermost with a nonstandard username, you may want to review the module changes before upgrading.
344
345- DokuWiki with the Caddy webserver (`services.dokuwiki.webserver = "caddy"`) now sets up sites with Caddy's automatic HTTPS instead of HTTP-only.
346 To keep the old behavior for a site `example.com`, set `services.caddy.virtualHosts."example.com".hostName = "http://example.com"`.
347 If you set custom Caddy options for a DokuWiki site, migrate these options by removing `http://` from `services.caddy.virtualHosts."http://example.com"`.
348
349- Wordpress with the Caddy webserver (`services.wordpress.webserver = "caddy"`) now sets up sites with Caddy's automatic HTTPS instead of HTTP-only.
350 Given a site example.com, http://example.com now 301 redirects to https://example.com.
351 To keep the old behavior for a site `example.com`, set `services.caddy.virtualHosts."example.com".hostName = "http://example.com"`.
352
353- The behavior of `services.hostapd.radios.<name>.networks.<name>.authentication.enableRecommendedPairwiseCiphers` was changed to not include `CCMP-256` anymore.
354 Since all configured pairwise ciphers have to be supported by the radio, this caused startup failures on many devices which is hard to debug in hostapd.
355
356- The `hardware.gkraken` module has been removed. The recommended alternative is [`programs.coolercontrol`](#opt-programs.coolercontrol.enable).
357
358- To avoid delaying user logins unnecessarily the `multi-user.target` is no longer ordered after `network-online.target`.
359 System services requiring a connection to start correctly must explicitly state so, i.e.
360 ```nix
361 {
362 systemd.services."<name>" = {
363 wants = [ "network-online.target" ];
364 after = [ "network-online.target" ];
365 };
366 }
367 ```
368 This changed follows a deprecation period of one year started in NixOS 24.05 (see [PR #283818](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/283818)).
369
370- The values of `services.borgbackup.jobs.*.extraArgs` and other `extra*Args` options are now represented as Bash arrays. If these arguments were modified using `services.borgbackup.jobs.*.preHook`, they will need to be adjusted to append to these arrays, i.e.
371 ```diff
372 -extraCreateArgs="$extraCreateArgs --exclude /some/path"
373 +extraCreateArgs+=("--exclude" "/some/path")
374 ```
375
376- `programs.xonsh.package` now gets overridden internally with `extraPackages` to support `programs.xonsh.extraPackages`. See `programs.xonsh.extraPackages` for more details.
377
378- `services.nitter.guestAccounts` has been renamed to `services.nitter.sessionsFile`, for consistency with upstream. The file format is unchanged.
379
380- `virtualisation.azure.agent` option provided by `azure-agent.nix` is replaced by `services.waagent`, and will be removed in a future release.
381
382- The ZFS import service now respects `fileSystems.*.options = [ "noauto" ];` and does not add that pool's import service to `zfs-import.target`, meaning it will not be automatically imported at boot.
383
384- Default file names of images generated by several builders in `system.build` have been changed as outlined in the table below.
385
386 Names are now known at evaluation time and customizable via the new options `image.baseName`, `image.extension`, `image.fileName` and `image.filePath` with the latter returning a path relative to the derivations out path (e.g. `iso/${image.fileName` for iso images).
387

409
410- `security.apparmor.policies.<name>.enforce` and `security.apparmor.policies.<name>.enable` were removed.
411 Configuring the state of apparmor policies must now be done using `security.apparmor.policies.<name>.state` tristate option.
412
413- `services.graylog.package` now defaults to `graylog-6_0` as previous default `graylog-5_1` is EOL and therefore removed.
414 Check the migration guides on [5.1→5.2](https://go2docs.graylog.org/5-2/upgrading_graylog/upgrading_to_graylog_5.2.x.htm) and [5.2→6.0](https://go2docs.graylog.org/6-0/upgrading_graylog/upgrading_to_graylog_6.0.x.html) for breaking changes.
415
416- `programs.clash-verge.tunMode` was deprecated and removed because now service mode is necessary to start program. Without `programs.clash-verge.enable`, clash-verge-rev will refuse to start.
417- `services.discourse` now requires PostgreSQL 15 per default. Please update before upgrading.
418
419- `services.homepage-dashboard` now requires the `allowedHosts` option to be set in accordance with the [documentation](https://gethomepage.dev/installation/#homepage_allowed_hosts).
420
421- `luakit` has been updated to 2.4.0. If you use any website which uses IndexedDB or local storage and wish to retain the saved information, [some manual intervention may be required](https://luakit.github.io/news/luakit-2.4.0.html)
422
423- `services.netbird.tunnels` was renamed to [`services.netbird.clients`](#opt-services.netbird.clients),
424 hardened (using dedicated less-privileged users) and significantly extended.
425
426- `services.rsyncd.settings` now supports only two attributes `sections` and `globalSection`.
427 As a result, all sections previously defined under `services.rsyncd.settings` must now be put in `services.rsyncd.settings.sections`.
428 Global settings must now be placed in `services.rsyncd.settings.globalSection` instead of `services.rsyncd.settings.global`.

432## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-25.05-notable-changes}
433
434<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
435
436- `virtualisation.containers` with backend "podman" now supports rootless containers and `sd_notify(3)`-integration
437 based on container healthchecks.
438
439- Cinnamon has been updated to 6.4, please check the [upstream announcement](https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_xia_whatsnew.php) for more details.
440 - Following [changes in Mint 22](https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupgrade/commit/f239cde908288b8c250f938e7311c7ffbc16bd59) we are no longer overriding Qt application styles. You can still restore the previous default with `qt.style = "gtk2"` and `qt.platformTheme = "gtk2"`.
441 - Following [changes in Mint 20](https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupgrade-legacy/commit/ce15d946ed9a8cb8444abd25088edd824bfb18f6) we are replacing xplayer with celluloid since xplayer is no longer maintained.
442
443- Pantheon has been updated to 8, please check the [upstream announcement](https://blog.elementary.io/os-8-available-now/) for more details.
444 - Same as elementary OS, the X11 session is named "Classic Session" and the Wayland session is named "Secure Session".
445 - The dock has been rewritten, you need to manually migrate the dock items on update. You can check `~/.config/plank/dock1/launchers/` for your previous settings.
446
447- Xfce has been updated to 4.20, please check the [upstream feature tour](https://www.xfce.org/about/tour420) for more details.
448 - Wayland session is still [experimental](https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap) and requires opt-in using `enableWaylandSession` option.
449 - Overriding Wayland compositor is possible using `waylandSessionCompositor` option, but you might need to take care [`xfce4-session`](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/merge_requests/49), [`dbus-update-activation-environment`](https://github.com/labwc/labwc/blob/eaf11face68ee1f1bcc7ce1498304ca8c108c8ba/src/config/session.c#L234) and [`systemctl --user import-environment`](https://github.com/labwc/labwc/blob/eaf11face68ee1f1bcc7ce1498304ca8c108c8ba/src/config/session.c#L239) on startup.
450 - For new Xfce installations, default panel layout has [changed](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/merge_requests/158/diffs) to not include external panel plugins by default. You can still add them yourself using the "Panel Preferences" dialog.
451
452- PAM services for `i3lock`/`i3lock-color`, `vlock`, `xlock`, and `xscreensaver` now default to disabled unless other corresponding NixOS options are set (`programs.i3lock.enable`, `console.enable`, `services.xserver.enable`, and `services.xscreensaver.enable`, respectively). If for some reason you want one of them back without setting the corresponding option, set, e.g., `security.pam.services.xlock.enable = true`.
453
454- The `nixos-generate-config` command now supports a optional `--flake` option, which will generate a flake.nix file alongside the `configuration.nix` and `hardware-configuration.nix`, providing an easy introduction into flake-based system configurations.
455
456- [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is now validated and must be in the `"YY.MM"` format, ideally corresponding to a prior NixOS release.
457
458- [`hardware.xone`](#opt-hardware.xone.enable) will also enable [`hardware.xpad-noone`](#opt-hardware.xpad-noone.enable) to provide Xbox 360 driver by default.
459
460- `services.mysql` now supports easy cluster setup via [`services.mysql.galeraCluster`](#opt-services.mysql.galeraCluster.enable) option.
461
462 Example:
463
464 ```nix
465 {
466 services.mysql = {
467 enable = true;
468 galeraCluster = {
469 enable = true;
470 localName = "Node 1";
471 localAddress = "galera_01";
472 nodeAddresses = [
473 "galera_01"
474 "galera_02"
475 "galera_03"
476 ];
477 };
478 };
479 }
480 ```
481
482- systemd's {manpage}`systemd-ssh-generator(8)` now works out of the box on NixOS.
483 - You can ssh into VMs without any networking configuration if your hypervisor configures the vm to support AF_VSOCK.
484 It still requires the usual ssh authentication methods.
485 - An SSH key for the root user can be provisioned using the `ssh.authorized_keys.root` systemd credential.
486 This can be useful for booting an installation image and providing the SSH key with an smbios string.
487 - SSH can be used for suid-less privilege escalation on the local system without having to rely on networking:
488 ```shell
489 ssh root@.host
490 ```
491 - systemd's {manpage}`systemd-ssh-proxy(1)` is enabled by default. It can be disabled using [`programs.ssh.systemd-ssh-proxy.enable`](#opt-programs.ssh.systemd-ssh-proxy.enable).
492
493- SSH host key generation has been separated into the dedicated systemd service sshd-keygen.service.
494
495- [`services.dex`](#opt-services.dex.enable) now restarts upon changes to the [`.environmentFile`](#opt-services.dex.environmentFile) option or `path` type entries in `.settings.staticClients[].secretFile`.
496
497- [`services.geoclue2`](#opt-services.geoclue2.enable) now has an `enableStatic` option, which allows the NixOS configuration to specify a fixed location for GeoClue to use.
498
499- [`services.mongodb`](#opt-services.mongodb.enable) is now compatible with the `mongodb-ce` binary package. To make use of it, set [`services.mongodb.package`](#opt-services.mongodb.package) to `pkgs.mongodb-ce`.
500
501- [`services.jupyter`](#opt-services.jupyter.enable) is now compatible with `Jupyter Notebook 7`. See [the migration guide](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrate_to_notebook7.html) for details.
502
503- `networking.wireguard` now has an optional networkd backend. It is enabled by default when `networking.useNetworkd` is enabled, and it can be enabled alongside scripted networking with `networking.wireguard.useNetworkd`. Some `networking.wireguard` options have slightly different behavior with the networkd and script-based backends, documented in each option.
504
505- `services.rss-bridge` now has a `package` option as well as support for `caddy` as reverse proxy.
506
507- `services.avahi.ipv6` now defaults to true.
508
509- In the `services.xserver.displayManager.startx` module, two new options [generateScript](#opt-services.xserver.displayManager.startx.generateScript) and [extraCommands](#opt-services.xserver.displayManager.startx.extraCommands) have been added to to declaratively configure the .xinitrc script.
510
511- All services that require a root certificate bundle now use the value of a new read-only option, `security.pki.caBundle`.
512
513- [`services.hddfancontrol`](#opt-services.hddfancontrol.enable) has been modified to use an attribute set for settings, enabling configurations with multiple instances of the daemon running at once (e.g., for two separate drive bays).
514

550 - The Mattermost module will produce eval warnings if a database password would end up in the Nix store, and recommend alternatives such as peer authentication or using the environment file.
551 - We now support `mmctl` for Mattermost administration if both [](#opt-services.mattermost.socket.enable) and [](#opt-services.mattermost.socket.export) are set, which export the Mattermost control socket path into the system environment.
