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 binary of the package `cloud-sql-proxy` has changed from `cloud_sql_proxy` to `cloud-sql-proxy`.
- The module `services.apache-kafka` was largely rewritten and has certain breaking changes. To be precise, this means that the following things have changed:
- Most settings have been migrated to [services.apache-kafka.settings](#opt-services.apache-kafka.settings).
- Care must be taken when adapting an existing cluster to these changes, see [](#module-services-apache-kafka-migrating-to-settings).
- By virtue of being less opinionated, it is now possible to use the module to run Apache Kafka in KRaft mode instead of Zookeeper mode.
-[A few options](#module-services-apache-kafka-kraft) have been added to assist in this mode.
- Garage has been upgraded to 0.9.x. `services.garage.package` now needs to be explicitly set, so version upgrades can be done in a controlled fashion. For this, we expose `garage_x_y` attributes which can be set here.
-`voms` and `xrootd` now moves the `$out/etc` content to the `$etc` output instead of `$out/etc.orig`, when input argument `externalEtc` is not `null`.
- The `woodpecker-*` CI packages have been updated to 1.0.0. This release is wildly incompatible with the 0.15.X versions that were previously packaged. Please read [upstream's documentation](https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/next/migrations#100) to learn how to update your CI configurations.
- Meilisearch was updated from 1.3.1 to 1.5.0. The update has breaking changes about backslashes and filtering. See the [release announcement](https://blog.meilisearch.com/v1-4-release/) for more information.
- The Caddy module gained a new option named `services.caddy.enableReload` which is enabled by default. It allows reloading the service instead of restarting it, if only a config file has changed. This option must be disabled if you have turned off the [Caddy admin API](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options#admin). If you keep this option enabled, you should consider setting [`grace_period`](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options#grace-period) to a non-infinite value to prevent Caddy from delaying the reload indefinitely.
- mdraid support is now optional. This reduces initramfs size and prevents the potentially undesired automatic detection and activation of software RAID pools. It is disabled by default in new configurations (determined by `stateVersion`), but the appropriate settings will be generated by `nixos-generate-config` when installing to a software RAID device, so the standard installation procedure should be unaffected. If you have custom configs relying on mdraid, ensure that you use `stateVersion` correctly or set `boot.swraid.enable` manually. On systems with an updated `stateVersion` we now also emit warnings if `mdadm.conf` does not contain the minimum required configuration necessary to run the dynamically enabled monitoring daemons.
