Errors when running nixos-rebuild switch about shabitica

[IonicEcko]

Just noticed the line above all the failures relates to the fonts which there's an open pull request by @kyren for.

Unfortunately when I try to clone his repo and build from that (to test) I get nothing but errors while its evaluating the config so there's obviously more to do when running from a cloned repo that I don't know so can't test for sure.

@Runear: Okay, I think it's time to fix the Google fonts issue once and for all by fetching all the fonts from the upstream source repository. You're correct, the issue here is basically #3 and #4.

@aszlig I don't want to open another issue when I'm basically just asking for help if you get a spare minute so I'll ask here.

All up and running now with the font sorted, thank you for that! However I have no idea how to get the invites working so I can get a couple of mates trying this with me, any chance you have 5 to drop some hints?

@Runear: Ah, it might make sense to document this better in the README, but registration is only allowed for the first account and subsequent accounts need to be invited either via guilds, groups or via the party.

@aszlig Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear, I feel bad asking for help from someone who just does it in their spare time :)

I realise you can only add people to a server by invite, but that invite function for me isn't working. At least I don't think it is. I tried to send an invite from within the app and nothing comes through.

@Runear: Ah, no problem, getting to know where new users are stumbling on allows me to make the whole setup experience a lot easier, so thanks :-)

So, if you didn't you also need configure an MTA, for example via services.postfix.enable = true. If you don't want incoming mail, it's probably also a good idea to add inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 to services.postfix.extraConfig.

Maybe it's a good idea to add a way to invite users via link rather than via email, so an MTA isn't required.
