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.
this renders the same in the manpage and a little more clearly in the
html manual. in the manpage there continues to be no distinction from
regular text, the html manual gets code-type markup (which was probably
the intention for most of these uses anyway).
now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
make (almost) all links appear on only a single line, with no
unnecessary whitespace, using double quotes for attributes. this lets us
automatically convert them to markdown easily.
the few remaining links are extremely long link in a gnome module, we'll
come back to those at a later date.
we can't embed syntactic annotations of this kind in markdown code
blocks without yet another extension. replaceable is rare enough to make
this not much worth it, so we'll go with «thing» instead. the module
system already uses this format for its placeholder names in attrsOf
paths.
markdown can't represent the difference without another extension and
both the html manual and the manpage render them the same, so keeping the
distinction is not very useful on its own. with the distinction removed
we can automatically convert many options that use <code> tags to markdown.
the manpage remains unchanged, html manual does not render
differently (but class names on code tags do change from "code" to "literal").
our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
Enabling soju without providing a value for tlsCertificate currently
results in:
error: The option `services.soju.tlsCertificate' is used but not
defined.
Since tlsCertificate is intended to be optional, set default to null.
Additionally, add assertions to ensure that both tlsCertificate and
tlsCertificateKey are either set or unset.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
If a host key file is a symlink pointing to an as of yet non-existent
file, we don't want to remove it, but instead follow the symlink and
create the file at that location.
See https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence/issues/101 for more
information on the issue the original behavior creates.
The group configuration parameter allow to share access to yggdrasil
control socket with the users in the system. In the version we propose,
it is null by default so that only root can access the control socket,
but let user create their own group if they need.
Remove User= durective in systemd unit. Should a user with the specified
name already exist in the system, it would be used silently instead of a
dynamic user which could be a security concern.
Since version 0.4 Yggdrasil works again using systemd's DynamicUser option.
This patch reenables it to improve security.
We tested this with both persistent and non-persistent keys. Everything
seems to work fine.
Suppose you want to provide a LDAP-based directory search to your
homeserver via a service-user with a bind-password. To make sure that
this doesn't end up in the Nix store, it's now possible to set a
substitute for the bindPassword like
services.mxisd.extraConfig.ldap.connection = {
# host, bindDn etc.
bindPassword = "$LDAP_BIND_PW";
};
and write the actual secret into an environment file that's readable for
`mxisd.service` containing
LDAP_BIND_PW=<your secret bind pw>
and the following setting in the Nix expression:
services.mxisd.environmentFile = "/runs/ecrets/mxisd";
