What are your goals for 19.09?

Things I may or may not get around to but will try:

  • a better let’s encrypt solution that supports dns challenges, ideally using certbot
  • track down services which don’t use journald for logging and if possible have them start using it; if not possible to use journald ensure they are rotating logs
  • add ensureDatabases and ensureUsers options to the postgresql module and then utilize these new options in modules which provision their own postgresql databases
  • cleanup the httpd module & subservices

Things I hope everyone can work toward together:

  • zero hydra failures for 19.09!
  • fewer abandoned modules and packages in nixpkgs and NixOS
  • take advantage of security features that systemd offers in more modules

And finally things I can dream for:

  • a basic web testing framework integrated with nixos tests so that web based modules like nextcloud, redmine, etc… can perform comprehensive tests above and beyond checking if a web page is reachable
