# Replace Modules {#sec-replace-modules}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modules that are imported can also be disabled. The option declarations,
|
||
|
|
config implementation and the imports of a disabled module will be
|
||
|
|
ignored, allowing another to take it\'s place. This can be used to
|
||
|
|
import a set of modules from another channel while keeping the rest of
|
||
|
|
the system on a stable release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`disabledModules` is a top level attribute like `imports`, `options` and
|
||
|
|
`config`. It contains a list of modules that will be disabled. This can
|
||
|
|
either be the full path to the module or a string with the filename
|
||
|
|
relative to the modules path (eg. \<nixpkgs/nixos/modules> for nixos).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This example will replace the existing postgresql module with the
|
||
|
|
version defined in the nixos-unstable channel while keeping the rest of
|
||
|
|
the modules and packages from the original nixos channel. This only
|
||
|
|
overrides the module definition, this won\'t use postgresql from
|
||
|
|
nixos-unstable unless explicitly configured to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
disabledModules = [ "services/databases/postgresql.nix" ];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
imports =
|
||
|
|
[ # Use postgresql service from nixos-unstable channel.
|
||
|
|
# sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos-unstable
|
||
|
|
<nixos-unstable/nixos/modules/services/databases/postgresql.nix>
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
services.postgresql.enable = true;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This example shows how to define a custom module as a replacement for an
|
||
|
|
existing module. Importing this module will disable the original module
|
||
|
|
without having to know it\'s implementation details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with lib;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let
|
||
|
|
cfg = config.programs.man;
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
disabledModules = [ "services/programs/man.nix" ];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options = {
|
||
|
|
programs.man.enable = mkOption {
|
||
|
|
type = types.bool;
|
||
|
|
default = true;
|
||
|
|
description = "Whether to enable manual pages.";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config = mkIf cfg.enabled {
|
||
|
|
warnings = [ "disabled manpages for production deployments." ];
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
