| nikita.dev | Hi everyone! I’m Nikita, a CS student with an interest in K8s/Docker and declarative infrastructure. I’ve recently started contributing to nixpkgs (PR #495749) and I'm looking into the Modular Services Migration project
I’ve been diving into the Netdata module to see how it might fit the _class = "service" pattern. I hit a snag: Netdata uses security.wrappers and capabilities which seem to be global settings in NixOS. If we want to run multiple instances of a service, won't these wrappers conflict? Has anyone figured out a way to handle SUID wrappers for modular services yet, or is that still an open problem?
@roberth: I’m curious if there’s a preferred pattern for this, or if high-privilege services are still a work-in-progress for the modular migration? | 17:41:31 |
 K900 | Please do not look at the modular services project for now | 17:49:11 |
| K900 | There have been concerns raised with it internally | 17:49:20 |
| nikita.dev | Understood, thanks for the heads-up @k900. I'll pivot my focus. Is there another area or a specific set of modules that the team is prioritizing for refactoring or migration right now? I'm still very interested in contributing to the NixOS service architecture. | 17:51:27 |
| K900 | No, the question is generally whether modular services are even something we want | 17:54:37 |
| nikita.dev | oh okay, I'll stick to the current architecture | 18:01:09 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | K900: The idea was originally written in an overly optimistic way and I've updated it last Wednesday night. Please re-read if you haven't already. Progress on this project is meant to help us make an informed decision about broader adoption instead of going off vibes. | 21:09:53 |

 Amrit Amber | Hey everyone, my idea for a NixOS runtime drift detector and reconciler got accepted into the GSoC ideas list. Built a small prototype CLI that compares declared NixOS config against live system state, starting with services. Tested on a real NixOS 24.11 VM.
Repo: https://github.com/ArkhamKnight25/nixos-drift-detector
Open to feedback, and excited to connect with anyone interested in reviewing or mentoring this.

| mynk8s | Hi!, I am Mayank using Nix Package manager on top of Ubuntu/Fedora and NixOS on my old machines for like 3 years now.
I have written just enough Nix to get through configuring my system enough for packages and devshells.
I did like to participating in reviewing Nixpkgs PR as part of GSoC. Would love to connect with a mentor and any direction how can I work further on this.
