CodiMD does not provide options for storing db password outside the Nix store #73502

Open gbiscuolo opened 4 years ago

gbiscuolo commented 4 years ago

I'm going to use the CodiMD service but AFAIU there is no way to store the database password outside the store (see #24288).

Is it please possible to add an option - e.g. services.codimd.configuration.dbURLFile - that reads del database URL (and password) from a file?

Something like services.nextcloud.config.adminpassFile?

Thanks! Gio'

This is a related topic I started on Discourse: In configuration.nix can I read a value from a file?

aanderse commented 4 years ago

Seems doable. Could create a set of database options, much like some other services have and then use jq to patch in the database.passwordFile in the systemd preStart script.

I surely have interest but right now I still miss some ability and needed time to work on this (means also acquire new capabilities).

Maybe I'll try in a feew weeks but please do not count on me for this, sorry

Thanks! Gio'

Thank you for your contributions. This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days. If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity. Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

Sorry, I haven't got around to this. Still relevant I believe.
