Some networks can only transfer packets with a lower than normal maximum
transfer unit size. In these cases, it is necessary to set a MTU that
works for the given upstream network.
Wireguard can tag its packets with a firewall mark. This can be used for
firewalls or policy routing. This is very useful in some setups where
all traffic should go through a wireguard interface. The wireguard
packets cannot go through the wireguard interface and must be routed
differently, which can be done via the Firewall Mark.
The nixos option `config.networking.wireguard.interface.<name>.fwMark`
is of type `types.str` and not `types.int` to allow for specifying the
mark as a hexadecimal value.
most of these are hidden because they're either part of a submodule that
doesn't have its type rendered (eg because the submodule type is used in
an either type) or because they are explicitly hidden. some of them are
merely hidden from nix-doc-munge by how their option is put together.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
there are sufficiently few variable list around, and they are
sufficiently simple, that it doesn't seem helpful to add another
markdown extension for them. rendering differences are small, except in
the tor module: admonitions inside other blocks cannot be made to work
well with mistune (and likely most other markdown processors), so those
had to be shuffled a bit. we also lose paragraph breaks in the list
items due to how we have to render from markdown to docbook, but once we
remove docbook from the pipeline those paragraph breaks will be restored.
mostly no rendering changes. some lists (like simplelist) don't have an
exact translation to markdown, so we use a comma-separated list of
literals instead.
this mostly means marking options that use markdown already
appropriately and making a few adjustments so they still render
correctly. notable for nftables we have to transform the md links
because the manpage would not render them correctly otherwise.
most of the screen tags used in option docs are actually listings of
some sort. nsd had a notable exception where its screen usage was pretty
much a raw markdown block that made most sense to convert into docbook lists.
Syncthing config XML uses `fsPath` setting for specifying the path to the versioning folder. This commit adds `services.syncthing.folders.<name>.versioning.fsPath` option to enable this functionality declaratively. Previously, `versioning.params.versionsPath` was used, which doesn't work.
using regular strings works well for docbook because docbook is not as
whitespace-sensitive as markdown. markdown would render all of these as
code blocks when given the chance.
a lot of markdown syntax has already snuck into option docs, many of it
predating the intent to migrate to markdown. we don't convert all of it
here, just that which is accompanied by docbook tags as well. the rest
can be converted by simply adding the mdDoc marker.
