## Release branches

For each NixOS release, we publish a branch. You then have to use the
SNM branch corresponding to your NixOS version.

* For NixOS 21.11
   - Use the [SNM branch `nixos-21.11`](https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/tree/nixos-21.11)
   - [Documentation](https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/nixos-21.11/)
   - [Release notes](https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/nixos-21.11/release-notes.html#nixos-21-11)
* For NixOS 21.05
   - Use the [SNM branch `nixos-21.05`](https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/tree/nixos-21.05)
   - [Documentation](https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/nixos-21.05/)
   - [Release notes](https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/nixos-21.05/release-notes.html#nixos-21-05)
* For NixOS unstable
   - Use the [SNM branch `master`](https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/tree/master)
   - [Documentation](https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
   - This branch is currently supporting the NixOS release 21.11 but
     we could remove this support on any NixOS unstable breaking
     change.

   let release = "nixos-21.05";
   in {
     imports = [
       (builtins.fetchTarball {
         url = "https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/archive/${release}/nixos-mailserver-${release}.tar.gz";
         # This hash needs to be updated
         sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";

       loginAccounts = {
           "user1@example.com" = {
               # nix run nixpkgs.apacheHttpd -c htpasswd -nbB "" "super secret password" | cut -d: -f2 > /hashed/password/file/location
               hashedPasswordFile = "/hashed/password/file/location";

               aliases = [

## Release notes

### nixos-20.03

- Rspamd is upgraded to 2.0 which deprecates the SQLite Bayes
  backend. We then moved to the Redis backend (the default since
  Rspamd 2.0). If you don't want to relearn the Redis backend from the
  scratch, we could manually run

      rspamadm statconvert --spam-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.spam.sqlite --ham-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.ham.sqlite -h 127.0.0.1:6379 --symbol-ham BAYES_HAM --symbol-spam BAYES_SPAM

  See the [Rspamd migration
  notes](https://rspamd.com/doc/migration.html#migration-to-rspamd-20)
  and [this SNM Merge
  Request](https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/merge_requests/164)
  for details.
