Admins will be upgrading ORNL GitLab Servers on Saturday, 16 May 2026, from 7 AM until 11 AM EST. Repositories will experience intermittent outages during this time.
- The nvidia driver no longer defaults to the proprietary driver starting with version 560. You will need to manually set `hardware.nvidia.open` to select the proprietary or open driver.
-`postgresql_12` has been removed since it reached its end of life.
-`postgresql` no longer accepts the `enableSystemd` override. Use `systemdSupport` instead.
-`postgresql` was split into default and -dev outputs. To make this work without circular dependencies, the output of the `pg_config` system view has been removed. The `pg_config` binary is provided in the -dev output and still works as expected.
- The arguments from [](#opt-services.postgresql.initdbArgs) now get shell-escaped.
-`postgresql` is now [hardened by default](#module-services-postgres-hardening) using the common `systemd` settings for that.
- The dhcpcd service (`networking.useDHCP`) has been hardened and now runs exclusively as the "dhcpcd" user.
Users that were relying on the root privileges in `networking.dhcpcd.runHook` will have to write specific [sudo](security.sudo.extraRules) or [polkit](security.polkit.extraConfig) rules to allow dhcpcd to perform privileged actions.

Thus:

- Both the current stable .05 release and nixos-unstable should be updated to the latest minor that will usually be released in November.
- This is relevant for people who need to use this major for as long as possible. In that case its desirable to be able to pin nixpkgs to a commit that still has it, at the latest minor available.
- In November, before branch-off for the .11 release and after the update to the latest minor, the EOL-ed major will be removed from nixos-unstable.
This leaves a small gap of a couple of weeks after the latest minor release and the end of our support window for the .05 release, in which there could be an emergency release to other major versions of PostgreSQL - but not the oldest major we have in that branch. In that case: If we can't trivially patch the issue, we will mark the package/version as insecure **immediately**.
