The postgresql runs on a different node than my mastodon itself. Sometimes when
rebooting the entire host it can happen that mastodon gets started
before the DB[1] is up. In that case `mastodon-init-db.service` ran
through with the following log output:
2024-03-07 15:30:56.856
Migrating database (this might be a noop)
2024-03-07 15:30:56.856
/nix/store/xzm7www0qb7jg5zrgg7knynckx5yhki9-unit-script-mastodon-init-db-start/bin/mastodon-init-db-start: line 9: [: -eq: unary operator expected
It seems wrong to me to have this unit pass if the DB isn't even up,
especially with such an error.
This patch now checks if the exit code of the psql check was non-zero
and fails the entire unit. A retry can be implemented e.g. with
Restart/RestartSec then (which is more elegant than adding a while/sleep
loop anyways) like this:
systemd.services.mastodon-init-db = {
serviceConfig = {
Restart = "on-failure";
RestartSec = "5s";
RestartMode = "direct";
RemainAfterExit = true;
};
unitConfig = {
StartLimitBurst = 5;
StartLimitIntervalSec = "60";
};
};
Also using `-t --csv` now to not render the column name and to not
render a table so we don't need to rely on the format of psql (and parse
it with `sed(1)`).
[1] I added a script that blocks until postgres is there in the meantime
though.
Nixpkgs is a collection of over 80,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.

Other Project Repositories
The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- nixos-hardware - NixOS profiles to optimize settings for different hardware
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website

Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 23.11 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 23.11 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.

Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
You can donate to the NixOS foundation through SEPA bank transfers or by using Open Collective:
