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.
