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.
the way these are written they introduce lots of whitespace in each
line, which will cause those lines to render as code when converted to
markdown. override the whole description instead.
no change in rendered output. the html manual could render <screen>
blocks differently, but so far it hasn't (and if we need to make a
distinction we can use a special info string).
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.
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 `services.tor.client.enable` is set to false (the default), the `SOCKSPort` option is not added to the torrc file but since Tor defaults to listening on port 9050 when the option is not specified, the tor client is not actually disabled. To fix this, simply set `SOCKSPort` to 0, which disables the client.
Use `mkForce` to prevent potentially two different `SOCKSPort` options in the torrc file, with one of them being 0 as this would cause Tor to fail to start. When `services.tor.client.enable` is set to false, this should always be disabled.
When `services.resolved.enable` is set to true, the file /etc/resolv.conf becomes a symlink to /etc/static/resolv.conf, which is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf. Without this commit, tor does not have access to this file thanks to systemd confinement. This results in the following warning when tor starts:
```
[warn] Unable to stat resolver configuration in '/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
[warn] Could not read your DNS config from '/etc/resolv.conf' - please investigate your DNS configuration. This is possibly a problem. Meanwhile, falling back to local DNS at 127.0.0.1.
```
To fix this, simply allow read-only access to the file when resolved is in use.
According to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161818#discussion_r824820462, the symlink may also point to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, so allow that as well.
Tor waits ShutdownWaitLength seconds (30s by default) before actually shutting down. Since the systemd timeout is also set to 30 seconds, this results in a race condition that ends up killing Tor most of the time on my machine during shutdown.
To fix this, add the ShutdownWaitLength setting and tell systemd to wait 30 seconds more than that.
Arch Linux also has `TimeoutSec` set to 60 seconds: 6df716fe19/trunk/tor.service.
Tor attempts to detect what external IP address a machine is using by
listing addresses on all network interfaces on the system. This listing
is done using getifaddrs(3), which relies on netlink in order to get
IPv6 address information.
This change fixes Tor not finding the relay's IPv6 address unless
explicitly configured via either an ORPort directive or via DNS
resolution of the machine hostname.
* add an example for services.tor.settings.HidServAuth
* fix HidServAuth validation to require ".onion"
Per https://manpages.debian.org/testing/tor/torrc.5.en.html :
> Valid onion addresses contain 16 characters in a-z2-7 plus ".onion"
It's very surprising that services.tor.client.enable would set
services.privoxy.enable. This violates the principle of least
astonishment, because it's Privoxy that can integrate with Tor, rather
than the other way around.
So this patch moves the Privoxy Tor integration to the Privoxy module,
and it also disables it by default. This change is documented in the
release notes.

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321, local-fs.target is
part of sysinit.target again, meaning units without
DefaultDependencies=no will automatically depend on it, and the manual
set dependencies can be dropped.
Tor requires ``SOCKSPort 0`` when non-anonymous hidden services are
enabled. If the configuration doesn't enable Tor client features,
generate a configuration file that explicitly includes this disabling
to allow such non-anonymous hidden services to be created (note that
doing so still requires additional configuration). See #48622.
This reverts a part of 5bd12c694b.
Apparently there's no way to specify user for RuntimeDirectory in systemd
service file (it's always root) but tor won't create control socket if the dir
is owned by anybody except the tor user.
These hardenings were adopted from the upstream service file, checked
against systemd.service(5) and systemd.exec(5) manuals, and tested to
actually work with all the options enabled.
`PrivateDevices` implies `DevicePolicy=closed` according to systemd.exec(5),
removed.
`--RunAsDaemon 0` is the default value according to tor(5), removed.
Before this commit default relay configuration could produce unexpected
real life consequences. This patch makes those choices explicit and
documents them extensively.
* nixos/tor: add hiddenServices option
This change allows to configure hidden services more conveniently.
* nixos/tor: fix default/example mixup
* nixos/tor: use docbook in documentation
Also use more elegant optionalString for optional strings.
* tor: seperate hidden service port by newline
* tor: better example for hidden service path
a path below /var/lib/tor is usually used for hidden services
