Release 2020_028 (2020-09-07)#
Impact#
[NixOS 19.03] All 19.03 machines will schedule a reboot.
[NixOS 19.03] Nginx will be restarted.
NixOS 19.03 platform#
Update Linux-Kernel to newest LTS (5.4) branch. We have seen a number of VFS caching bugs with suspected memory leaks on a number of machines for which no direct bugfix seems available. Tests showed better behaviour on the newest LTS branch, though (#127876).
Nginx (#127883)
Update default package to latest stable version 1.18.0, add mainline version 1.19.0
Structured JSON config: use frontend IPs instead of all interfaces when listenAddress is not given.
Reload master process when Nginx package changes. This avoids restarts for updates in the future.
Add modsecurity module.
Don’t listen on 0.0.0.0 port 80 by default.
Lower default retention period for nginx logs to 7 days (#127632).
Add Gitlab role with docker registry integration (#124013).
