Other Notable Changes
-
The setting
services.openssh.logLevel
"VERBOSE"
"INFO"
. This brings NixOS in line with upstream and other Linux distributions, and reduces log spam on servers due to bruteforcing botnets.However, if
services.fail2ban.enable
istrue
, thefail2ban
will override the verbosity to"VERBOSE"
, so thatfail2ban
can observe the failed login attempts from the SSH logs. -
Sway: The terminal emulator
rxvt-unicode
is no longer installed by default viaprograms.sway.extraPackages
. The current default configuration usesalacritty
(and soonfoot
) so this is only an issue when using a customized configuration and not installingrxvt-unicode
explicitly. -
The
claws-mail
package now references the new GTK+ 3 release branch, major version 4. To use the GTK+ 2 releases, one can install theclaws-mail-gtk2
package. -
The wordpress module provides a new interface which allows to use different webservers with the new option
services.wordpress.webserver
. Currentlyhttpd
andnginx
are supported. The definitions of wordpress sites should now be set inservices.wordpress.sites
.Sites definitions that use the old interface are automatically migrated in the new option. This backward compatibility will be removed in 22.05.
