This post details the changes I made to my NixOS' configuration when upgrading from 20.09 to 21.05.
## isNormalUser/isSystemUser
Either [`isNormalUser`](https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=21.05&show=users.users.%3Cname%3E.isNormalUser&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=isnormaluser) or `isSystemUser` must now be set. This mainly affects service user (user that is created solely to run a service).
``` diff
users = {
users = {
fooService = {
home = "/var/www";
createHome = true;
+ isSystemUser = true;
};
};
};
```
## Make home folder world-readable
I have a "{% post_link rsync-setup-nixos '/var/www' %}" folder which I use to serve this website. Previously, `chmod +xr` was persistent but now NixOS always set the permission of a user's home folder to be `chmod 700` every time `nixos-rebuild` is executed. As a workaround, I have to configure nix to execute chmod after `nixos-rebuild` and during boot.
``` nix
system.activationScripts = {
www-data.text =
''
chmod +xr "/var/www"
'';
};
```
## Tor onion
Some settings have been renamed:
1. hiddenServices -> relay.onionServices
2. `map.*.toHost` -> `map.*.target.addr`
3. extraConfig -> settings
``` diff
services.tor = {
enable = true;
enableGeoIP = false;
- hiddenServices = {
- myOnion = {
- version = 3;
- map = [
- {
- port = "80";
- toHost = "[::1]";
- toPort = "8080";
- }
- ];
- }
- }
- extraConfig =
- ''
- ClientUseIPv4 0
- ClientUseIPv6 1
- ClientPreferIPv6ORPort 1
- '';
+ relay.onionServices = {
+ myOnion = {
+ version = 3;
+ map = [{
+ port = 80;
+ target = {
+ addr = "[::1]";
+ port = 8080;
+ };
+ }];
+ };
+ };
+ settings = {
+ ClientUseIPv4 = false;
+ ClientUseIPv6 = true;
+ ClientPreferIPv6ORPort = true;
+ };
};
```
