<title>Replace Modules</title>
<para>Modules that are imported can also be disabled. The option
declarations and config implementation of a disabled module will be
ignored, allowing another to take it's place. This can be used to
import a set of modules from another channel while keeping the rest
of the system on a stable release.</para>
<para><literal>disabledModules</literal> is a top level attribute like
<literal>imports</literal>, <literal>options</literal> and
<literal>config</literal>. It contains a list of modules that will
be disabled. This can either be the full path to the module or a
string with the filename relative to the modules path
(eg. <nixpkgs/nixos/modules> for nixos).
</para>
<para>This example will replace the existing postgresql module with
the version defined in the nixos-unstable channel while keeping the
rest of the modules and packages from the original nixos channel.
This only overrides the module definition, this won't use postgresql
from nixos-unstable unless explicitly configured to do so.</para>
<programlisting>
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
disabledModules = [ "services/databases/postgresql.nix" ];
imports =
[ # Use postgresql service from nixos-unstable channel.
# sudo nix-channel --add http://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos-unstable
<nixos-unstable/nixos/modules/services/databases/postgresql.nix>
];
services.postgresql.enable = true;
}
</programlisting>
<para>This example shows how to define a custom module as a
replacement for an existing module. Importing this module will
disable the original module without having to know it's
implementation details.</para>
