Please update commit message to "nixos: add programs.kdeconnect option" and add an "...openFirewall" boolean option that defaults to false.

Please squash fixup commit. And this still applies: Please update commit message to "nixos: add programs.kdeconnect option" and add an "...openFirewall" boolean option that defaults to false.

Kdeconnect won't work at all without those ports open,and it won't even give any error message

Right. But most nixos options don't automatically open the firewall, even though opening the firewall is the "correct" thing to do in many cases.

I guess this is a bit different than running a webserver, since that can be accessed via localhost, whereas for this program that doesn't make sense.

On the other hand, you're pretty likely to see the openFirewall option when you search for kdeconnect in nixos config options.

Let's get input from other community members.

Please fix git history so that it's ready to merge.

infinisil · 2019-10-30T12:42:33Z

I guess another reason to not open ports by default is that users might be running other things on those ports already, which would then be open for anybody. An openFirewall option is like a warning sign to the user that ports are being opened, they should make sure those aren't used by something else already (the ports should ideally be mentioned in the description).

You could also add

{
  assertions = [{
    assertion = cfg.openFirewall;
    message = "You need to enable `programs.kdeconnect.openFirewall` to use KDEConnect, which opens ports ${portRange}.";
  }];
}

to make sure it's enabled.

pasqui23 · 2019-11-09T11:29:00Z

@infinisil I don't like that a module needs 2 flags set to true when any other module only requre 1,with maybe some other more specific configuration.
I have clarified that the module will open the given port

bjornfor · 2019-12-29T15:21:13Z

nixos/modules/programs/kdeconnect.nix

+    let
+      cfg = config.programs.kdeconnect;
+    in mkIf cfg.enable {
+      environment.systemPackages = [cfg.package];


Perhaps also add gsconnect to systemPackages, if desktop is gnome 3?

Maybe in a further commit

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

Still waiting on @infinisil 'S review

oxalica

There are some format issues. You can run nix run nixpkgs.nixpkgs-fmt -c nixpkgs-fmt <path_to_nix_file> to fix most of them.

Also I agree the comment #63899 (review) that it's better to squash all commits and tweak commit message.

@pasqui23 you still have some typos mentioned in the reviews not fixed in current state of the PR.

@pasqui23 could you please address @oxalica's review? The typos / formatting may not be super important for functionality but we'd like these kind of things to be consistent across Nixpkgs.

+  options.programs.kdeconnect = {
+    enable = mkEnableOption ''
+      kdeconnect.Note that it will open the TCP and UDP port from
+      1714 to 1764 as they are needed for its correct working


Suggested change

1714 to 1764 as they are needed for its correct working

1714 to 1764 as they are needed for it to function properly.

You can use the <option>package</option> to use

<code>gnomeExtensions.gsconnect</code> as an alternative

implementation if you use Gnome.

oxalica

LGTM. Not sure if gsconnect should go here.

infinisil · 2021-05-03T17:00:40Z

Does this have any integration with plasma? Should enabling plasma also enable this option?

pasqui23 · 2021-05-03T19:46:13Z

I don't think so, I'm using it on windows too and there is gsconnect for GNOME. This is mostly so it opens the right ports.

infinisil · 2021-05-03T19:55:27Z

I guess this looks good after a squash
