in summary:
- update inputs
- copy a fix for the nopersist module from hexchen's nixfiles
d0b3a042ff
- remove an already-outdated override in pkgs
- update zola's config for the docs.hacc.space website
we've had this for ages, and since I started with the new scripts
directory under pkgs (and anticipated we'll write more), it seems like a
good idea to move that script there and have them all in one place.
Certainly better than having it as one extremely long string inside Nix.
this is a helper script to send emails to people who've not logged in
for a while (currently hard-coded to "since 2023-01-01"). It also sends
weekly reminders to admins giving the current number of unused accounts.
It is in $PATH for all normal users; for usage, invoke it with --help,
or just see the email it send to admin@.
this mirrors a change in the nixpkgs definition: the nix-update script
has a hardcoded list of attributes it will update. We can re-use one of
them to make it update mattermost's web frontend at the same time as it
updates mattermost itself.
The list of attribute names is here:

this is almost a revert of 147fe172d9,
but we now use the forgejo package of nixos-unstable-small instead of
that from stable nixos.
we were never noticably faster than forgejo maintainance upstream (turns
out that unlike mattermost, some services actually get updated in time);
no update was ever more than just copying the latest upstream package
recipe.
As a side-effect, this also updates forgejo to 7.0.5, which is a
security release:
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/RELEASE-NOTES.md#7-0-5
note: tracktrain is now built on nixpkgs-unstable haskell packages;
using nixpkgs-stable with a newer version of haskellPackages.filepath is
unfortunately broken for now.
We can move back to nixpkgs-stable with it once the 24.05 release has
happened.
this is preliminary work for migrating mattermost from mysql to
postgresql.
This tool is specific to mattermost, but at least it's easy enough to
build. I'm not sure if it makes sense to upstream, but I guess we can
keep it around here.
this bundles the current package recipe of forgejo in nixpkgs-unstable.
Implies updating forgejo, since nixpkgs-stable is still on 1.20.6 (v6 in
the new version scheme).
This'll mean we have to manually update it same as with mattermost, and
can potentially also help with upstream changes. If we get tired of
that, we can always decide to just use the nixpkgs-unstable version
directly.
Since Lix is now in nixpkgs-unstable-small, I think it's a good time to
use it. This does mean that we now pull in our nix implementation from
an unstable channel, but overall I'm more confident in the Lix team's
ability to not break things than I am in the Nix team's ability to
backport (& then actually release) security updates.
(once Lix is on a stable channel, we can switch back to using it from there)
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.
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).

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
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.
