This changes
* the plausible HTTP web server
to be listening on localhost only, explicitly.
This makes Plausible have an explicit safe default configuration,
like all other networked services in NixOS.
For background discussion, see: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/130244
As per my upstream Plausible contribution
(https://github.com/plausible/analytics/pull/1190)
Plausible >= 1.5 also defaults to listening to localhost only;
nevertheless, this default should be stated explicitly in nixpkgs
for easier review and independence from upstream changes, and
a NixOS user must be able to configure the
`listenAddress`, as there are valid use cases for that.
Also, disable
* the Erlang Beam VM inter-node RPC port
* the Erlang EPMD port
because Plausible does not use them (see added comment).
This is done by setting `RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION=none`.
Thus, this commit also removes the NixOS setting `releaseCookiePath`,
because it now has no effect.
It's time again, I guess :>
Main motivation is to stop being pinged about software that I maintained
for work now that I'm about to switch jobs. There's no point in pinging
me to review/test updates or to debug issues in e.g. the Atlassian stack
or on mailman since I use neither personally.
But there's also a bunch of other stuff that I stopped using personally. While
at it I realized that I'm still maintainer of a few tests & modules related to
packages I stopped maintaining in the past already.
LoadCredential was misused as it is not building any environment variable,
it is the responsibility of our preStart to do it so
Plausible's script can pick it up.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
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.
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).
Plausible fails on start because clickhouse is not ready,
when clickhouse has low CPU available, eg.
```nix
{systemd.services.clickhouse.serviceConfig.CPUWeight = 20;}
```
Fixed with
```nix
{systemd.services.plausible.after = [ "clickhouse.service" ];}
```
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.
* Most significant is probably the patching necessary to run plausible
with postgres without superuser privilege. This change includes:
* updating ecto_sql to 3.6 where `CREATE DATABASE` is only executed if
it doesn't exist[1].
* patching a migration to only modify the `users.email` column (to use
`citext` rather than creating the extension. `plausible-postgres`
takes care of that).
* Correctly declare dependencies in systemd.
* A few minor fixes.
