this is a slightly cursed work around; see the comment.
Alternatively, we could pass in the $src attribute of that derivation
via callPackage (passing it through all the way from flake.nix), but tbh
that sounds like too much effort rn.
Have fun with confusingly long paths in the nix store 🙃
we decided to:
- get rid of unused packages
- simpify the directory layout since we only have one host anyways
- move our docs (such as they are) in-tree
This is our script to synchronise groups between uffd and mattermost,
since there seems to be no better way to do that. It has long lived
under /persist/magic/auamost since it contained sensitive data (both
which groups are on our platform & access tokens to both uffd's and
mattermost's API with admin-level permissions).
This splits the script up into a non-sensitive part which lives in Nix,
and a small snippet that just sets all the sensitive stuff into env vars
in sops, so we can manage the entire thing with our usual setup.
move some options (the nopersist & container profiles + allowUnfree
packages) into the evalConfig used for containers, so we don't have to
repeat ourselves as much.
also removed some no-longer-needed specialArgs.
also made thelounge work with nopersist, which for some reason it didn't
use before.
This reverts commit 90f4971e88d22da6b2a213bbeb1790f456024b36, and resets
the uffd version to the one we are already using, in hopes of making the
update slightly less painfull (haha).
in theory this might be ready to deploy. Potential hazards & things to
know when actually doing so:
1. the mysql version used by mattermost was updated (the old uses an
openssl which is marked insecure). Might have to migrate a database
2. lots of settings now use RFC 42-style settings, which might contain
new typos
3. this updates uffd (& changes the patches we apply). Since version
dependencies of uffd are basically "whatever debian has" we have
never bothered to match them, but afaik have also never updated uffd
since the initial deploy some years ago. No guarantee it still
works.
4. tracktrain depends on haskellPackages.conferer-warp, which is
currently marked broken. There is no reason for this (it builds
fine). Until fixed upstream, build with NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1.
cf. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/234784; waiting for a
merge of haskell-updates into 23.05
