2023-08-16Revert "services: Add ddclient service."Bruno Victal
ddclient is unmaintained as of 2023-07-04 [1] and this service has been broken for a while [2]. Remove it rather than shipping a broken service for an unmaintained program that's unlikely to be fixed. [1]: <https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient> [2]: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52770> This reverts commit 8490a8346b5c8207f5798be55bea1de865b0bd42. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
2023-08-16services: posgresql: Add option to specify UID/GID for postgres user.Martin Baulig
Add 'createAccount?', 'uid' and 'gid' to <postgresql-configuation>. Unlike other system daemons, the PostgreSQL data directory is typically meant to persist across 'guix system reconfigure' and once created, you don't want it's UID or GID to change anymore. Furthermore, if you want to place the data directory on a network share and use NFSv4 with idmap, then the 'postgres' user must exist when the 'rpc.idmapd' daemon is launched; prior to mounting the share. And it needs to be possible to mount the share without configuring PostgreSQL. With NFSv3, the UID and GID typically needs to match those on the server. The added options allow for both of these scenarios: You can either create the user in (operating-system (users)) completely independently of the 'postgresql-service-type' (for instance to get your NFS setup working first prior to configuring your databases) - or "pin" it's UID / GID values. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-configuration>)[create-account?] [uid, gid]: New fields. (%postgresql-accounts): Remove. (create-postgresql-account): New procedure. (postgresql-service-type)[extensions]: Use it. * doc/guix.texi (Database Services): Update accordingly.

2023-07-26services: mpd: Log to syslog by default.Maxim Cournoyer
Rationale: the tristate value was awkward to deal with, the default log file name was odd (/var/log/mpd/log) and it required special attention to create the 'mpd' parent directory as root and chowning it to the MPD user. It also didn't match the default behavior of MPD, which is to log to systemd or syslog unless a log file is specified. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-log-file-sanitizer): New procedure. (mpd-configuration) [log-file]: Remove default maybe value. Add sanitizer. (mpd-shepherd-service): Validate the log file parent directory exists and has the right permissions. Conditionally add syslogd to requirements. (mympd-log-to-sanitizer): New procedure. (mympd-configuration) [log-to]: Change type to maybe-string. Update doc and add sanitizer. (mympd-shepherd-service) [requirement]: Fix to use syslogd. Adjust accordingly. [start] Adjust accordingly.
