Motivation for this change

Improves startup sequencing by using systemd Type=notify to only consider the stubby DNS resolver as available when it is ready to serve queries.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This was added in v0.3.0 and allows notifying service readiness.
Fixes some dependency ordering problems at boot time with services that
require DNS. Without Type=notify these services might be started before
stubby was ready to accept DNS requests.
