 ## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-23.11-incompatibilities}
 
 - The `boot.loader.raspberryPi` options have been marked deprecated, with intent for removal for NixOS 24.11. They had a limited use-case, and do not work like people expect. They required either very old installs ([before mid-2019](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/62462)) or customized builds out of scope of the standard and generic AArch64 support. That option set never supported the Raspberry Pi 4 family of devices.

+# Honk {#module-services-honk}
+
+With Honk on NixOS you can quickly configure a complete ActivityPub server with
+minimal setup and support costs.
+
+## Basic usage {#module-services-honk-basic-usage}
+
+A minimal configuration looks like this:
+
+```nix
+{
+  services.honk = {
+    enable = true;
+    host = "0.0.0.0";
+    port = 8080;
+    username = "username";
+    passwordFile = "/etc/honk/password.txt";
+    servername = "honk.example.com";
+  };
+
+  networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 8080 ];
+}
+```
