2023-10-14pack: Allow setting a custom image tag for Docker imagesSören Tempel
Previously, the image repository name was automatically computed from the packages in the manifest without allowing the user to set a custom one. As such, changing the packages in the manifest would result in a new image name. Thereby requiring updating documentation et cetera when using `docker load` directory on the resulting image. Inspired by `docker build -t`, this commit adds a new Docker-specific option to `guix pack` which allows setting a custom repository name for the resulting image. If this option is not specified, pack falls back to computing the name from the manifest. Therefore, this change is entirely backwards compatible. * guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack): Add --image-tag option. (%docker-format-options): New constant. (show-docker-format-options): New procedure. (show-docker-format-options/detailed): New procedure. (docker-image): Allow setting a custom repository name for the created docker image via extra-options. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix pack)[docker]: Document --image-tag option.

ddclient is unmaintained as of 2023-07-04 [1] and this service has been broken for a while [2].

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.
