this does slight tweaking of paths to make the docs.hacc.space
derivation no longer depend on our entire flake, so we won't have to
rebuild it as often.
this should hopefully help with our consistent onlyoffice-does-not-work-but-no-one-noticed
problems (yes, monit runs as root and can do that).
"then restart" will still send an alert if it restarted the unit (see monit's man page)
this copies the current mattermost package definition from upstream
nixpkgs into our repo as-is (that definition itself being a modified
version of our definition that I upstreamed recently).
Since apparently no one else is maintaining the nixpkgs package and I am
apparently maintaining a mattermost package mostly on my own anyways,
this should make upstreaming future changes easier.
alps frequently fails to start (e.g. during a system activation script)
since either its configured imap or smtp servers are not reachable
yet (i.e. their process has not yet opened the corresponding port).
This should hopefully fix that behaviour:
- also set BindsTo, telling systemd to only start alps once the
required units have entered "active" state (not just after it has
started them)
- also require postfix to be present, since that provides smtp
mostly just replacing strings to avoid confusion later on. Since our
containers are now ephemeral, renaming them is basically a non-issue
(though the files under /persist/containers & the uffd client name had
to be changed manually)
This jumps Mattermost ESR Versions (see [1] for their release cycle). The
new version makes use of Go's workspace feature, which unfortunately the
buildGoModule function does not (yet?) support [2], and unfortunately this
breaks the previous build process for mattermost.
Further, the new release also makes use of private modules only included
in the (non-free) enterprise version of mattermost which makes it impossible
to build in the usual way even outside of nixpkgs's build abstractions [3].
Both issues can be solved by using Go 1.22, which has added support for
vendoring when using workspaces, and instructing it to ignore errors with
the -e flag. This requires overriding the go-modules derivation's buildPhase.
Finally, this now also build the commands/mmctl subpackage, which contains
a cli utility to administrate mattermost. This currently has its own nixpkgs
package for no reason i can see at all (it also has a version mismatch
between nixpkgs's mattermost and nixpkgs's mmctl).

this removes usage of the nftnat module by rendering it into a static
nftables config. It's a no-op (modulo /etc/haccfiles) as far as nix is
concerned, hence the slightly off-putting whitespace of the multi-line
string.
This seems to me to be a better approach than just bundling the module,
since we only use it for two things (giving the containers network
access & forwarding port 22 to forgejo), which to me doesn't press for
using a custom module we can't really maintain on our own.
the bind mount module has been tweaked in a couple ways:
- rename hexchen.* to hacc.*
- rename bindmount to bindMount to make it consistent with usage in
the nixpkgs container module
- add a hacc.bindToPersist option as shorthand for prepending /perist
to a path via bind mount
the nopersist module has been shortened a little by moving
service-specific things which are used once out into the individual
service files, and removing those which we don't need at all (this also
means we get to loose a mkForce or two in case of mismatches between
hexchen's and our current config).
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.
