The ELK stack: <literal>elasticsearch</literal>,

been upgraded from 2.* to 6.3.*. The 2.* versions have been

since last year</link> so they have been removed. You can

still use the 5.* versions under the names

|
|
License</link> the ELK packages now have an unfree license. To

The <literal>pkgs</literal> argument to NixOS modules can now

A NixOS system can now be constructed more easily based on a
|
|
preexisting invocation of Nixpkgs. For example:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting language="bash">
|
|
{
|
|
inherit (pkgs.nixos {
|
|
boot.loader.grub.enable = false;
|
|
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/xvda1";
|
|
}) toplevel kernel initialRamdisk manual;
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This benefits evaluation performance, lets you write Nixpkgs
|
|
packages that depend on NixOS images and is consistent with a
|
|
deployment architecture that would be centered around Nixpkgs
|
|
overlays.
