update dropbear patch for 26.05

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE enables KASLR. It doesn't increase the size of the
kernel image for OpenWrt One (technically it increases .text size by 256
bytes, but that was cancelled out by alignment padding). Set this to y on
arm64. The other architectures are not modified (arm doesn't support it,
and mips only supports it for some targets).

CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is enabled by default by the kernel and enables
pointer authentication instructions at entry and exit of most kernel
functions. However, none of our targets support pointer authentication,
so these instructions are just taking up space for no purpose. Set this
one to n, which reduces OpenWrt One kernel image size by 24KB.

-# Liminix community spaces Code of Conduct
-
-As of Feb 2023, "RESPONSE TEAM" and "LEADERSHIP TEAM" in the text that follows
-both refer to me, Daniel Barlow, as there are not yet any other project members.
-
-Liminix is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
-
-This code of conduct applies to all Liminix spaces, including the IRC channel, mailing lists, and Github forums, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.
-
-Some Liminix spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.
-
-Harassment includes:
-
-*Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
-*Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
-*Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
-*Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
-*Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.
-*Threats of violence.
-*Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
-*Deliberate intimidation.
-*Stalking or following.
-*Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
-*Sustained disruption of discussion.
-*Unwelcome sexual attention.
-*Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
-*Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
-*Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
-*Publication of non-harassing private communication.
-Liminix prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. RESPONSE TEAM reserves the right not to act on complaints regarding:
-*‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
-*Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
-*Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
-*Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
-
-## Reporting
-
-If you are being harassed by a member of Liminix, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.
-
-This code of conduct applies to Liminix spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of Liminix outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by Liminix members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from Liminix based on their past behavior, including behavior outside Liminix spaces and behavior towards people who are not in Liminix.
-
-In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.
-
-We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of Liminix members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
-
-### Consequences
-
-Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
-
-If a participant engages in harassing behavior, RESPONSE TEAM may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all Liminix spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other Liminix members or the general public.

 ## Current status (does it work yet?)
 
-Liminix is pre-1.0. We are still finding new and better ways to do things,
-and there is no attempt to maintain backward compatibility with the old
-ways.
+Liminix 1.0 was released in April 2025. It works for me and I would
+say it has seen lots of use in the particular applications of "home
+wifi router" and "wireless extender".
+
+It's not “finished” - we are still finding new and better ways to do
+things - but we endeavour to signal future breaking changes through the
+version number. This is “semver-adjacent”, in that minor bumps
+(1.1, 1.2 …) are used for minor new features and major bumps (2.0 …)
+for changes that are likely to break out-of-tree modules or
+configurations. It won’t be semver exactly because [every change
+breaks someone’s workflow](https://xkcd.com/1172/), but we aspire to
+have the magnitude of the version delta correlate with the scale of
+the consequences of upgrading.
 
 The [NEWS](NEWS) file (available wherever you found this README) is
 a high-level overview of breaking changes.
 
 Development mostly happens on the `main` branch, which is therefore
 not guaranteed to build or to work on every commit. For the latest
-functioning version, see [the CI system](https://build.liminix.org/jobset/liminix/build) and pick a revision with all jobs green.

-    Preparation
-    -----------
+    ==== Preparation
 
     To prepare the device for Liminix you first need to use the
-    `OpenWrt UBI Installer
-    <https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer>`_ image to
-    rewrite the flash layout. As of Jan 2025 there are two versions
+    https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer[OpenWrt UBI Installer]
+    image to rewrite the flash layout. As of Jan 2025 there are two versions
     of the installer available: the release version 1.0.2 and the
-    pre-release 1.1.3 and for Liminix you nee the pre-relese.
-    The release version of the installer creates UBI volumes
-    according to an older layout that is not compatible with
-    the Linux 6.6.67 kernel used in Liminix.

+    version of the installer creates UBI volumes according to an older
+    layout that is not compatible with the Linux 6.6.67 kernel used in
+    Liminix.
 
-    You can run the installer in one of two ways:
-    either follow the instructions to do it through the vendor web
-    interface, or you can drop to U-Boot and use TFTP

-    Building/installing Liminix
-    ----------------
+    The default target for this device is `+outputs.ubimage+` which makes a
+    ubifs image suitable for use with `+ubiupdatevol+`. To write this to the
+    device we use the OpenWrt recovery system installed in the previous
+    step. In this configuration the device assigns itself the IP address
+    192.168.1.1/24 on its LAN ports and expects the connected computer to
+    have 192.168.1.254

+    [WARNING]
+    ====
+    The [.title-ref]#ubi0_7# device in these instructions is correct as of
+    Dec 2024 (dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer commit d79e7928). If you are
+    installing some time later, it is important to check the output from
+    `+ubinfo -a+` and make sure you are updating the "liminix" volume and
+    not some other one which had been introduced since I wrote this.

+    over any kind of "factory" wipe which will reset them.

     The GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router features:
 
-     - QCA9531 @650Mhz SoC
-     - dual band wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
-     - two 10/100Mbps LAN ports and one WAN
-     - 128MB DDR2 RAM
-     - 16MB NOR Flash
-     - supported in OpenWrt by the "ath79" SoC family

-    The GL-AR750 has two distinct sets of wifi hardware. The 2.4GHz
-    radio is part of the QCA9531 SoC, i.e. it's on the same silicon as
-    the CPU, the Ethernet, the USB etc. The device is connected to the
-    host via `AHB <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Microcontroller_Bus_Architecture>`_ and it is
-    supported in Linux using the ath9k driver. 5GHz wifi
-    is provided by a QCA9887 PCIe (PCI embedded) WLAN chip,
-    supported by the ath10k driver.

-    Installation
-    ============
+    === Installation
 
-    As with many GL.iNet devices, the stock vendor firmware
-    is a fork of OpenWrt, meaning that the binary created by
-    :ref:`system-outputs-mtdimage` can be flashed using the
-    vendor web UI or the U-Boot emergency "unbrick" routine.

-    Flashing over an existing Liminix system is not possible while
-    that system is running, otherwise you'll be overwriting flash
-    partitions while they're in use - and that might not end well.
-    Configure the system with :ref:`levitate` if you need to
-    make it upgradable.

     This is a 32 bit ARMv7 MVEBU device, which is usually shipped with
-    TurrisOS, an OpenWrt-based system. Rather than reformatting the
-    builtin storage, we install Liminix on to the existing btrfs
-    filesystem so that the vendor snapshot/recovery system continues
-    to work (and provides you an easy rollback if you decide you don't
-    like Liminix after all).

-    The install process has two stages, and is intended that you
-    should not need to open the device and add a serial console
-    (although it may be handy for visibility, and in case anything
-    goes wrong). First we build a minimal installation/recovery
-    system, then we reboot into that recovery image to prepare the

-    Installation using a TFTP server and serial console
-    ===================================================
-
-    If you have a :ref:`serial` console connection and a TFTP server,
-    and would rather use them than fiddling with USB sticks, the
-    :file:`examples/recovery.nix` configuration also works
-    using the ``tftpboot`` output. So you can do
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        build$ nix-build -I liminix-config=./examples/recovery.nix \
-          --arg device "import ./devices/turris-omnia" \
-          -A outputs.tftpboot
-
-    and then paste the generated :file:`result/boot.scr` into
-    U-Boot, and you will end up with the same system as you would
-    have had after booting from USB. If you don't have a serial
-    console connection you could probably even get clever with
-    elaborate use of :command:`fw_setenv`, but that is left as
-    an exercise for the reader.

+== System Administration
+
+=== Services on a running system
+
+Liminix services are built on s6-rc, which is itself layered on s6.
+Services are defined at build time in your configuration (see
+<<_services>> for information) and can't be added
+to/changed at runtime, but to monitor events or diagnose problems you
+may need to inspect them on the running system. Here are some of the
+most commonly used s6,-rc commands:
+
+.Service management quick reference
+[width="100%",cols="55%,45%",options="header",]
+|===
+|What |How
+|List all running services |`+s6-rc -a list+`
+
+|List all services that are *not* running |`+s6-rc -da list+`
+
+|List services that `+wombat+` depends on
+|`+s6-rc-db dependencies wombat+`
+
+|... transitively |`+s6-rc-db all-dependencies wombat+`
+
+|List services that depend on service `+wombat+`
+|`+s6-rc-db -d dependencies wombat+`
+
+|... transitively |`+s6-rc-db -d all-dependencies wombat+`
+
+|Stop service `+wombat+` and everything depending on it
+|`+s6-rc -d change wombat+`
+
+|Start service `+wombat+` (but not any services depending on it)
+|`+s6-rc -u change wombat+`
+
+|Start service `+wombat+` and all* services depending on it
+|`+s6-rc-up-tree wombat+`
+|===
+
+`+s6-rc-up-tree+` brings up a service and all services that depend on
+it, except for any services that depend on a "controlled" service that
+is not currently running. Controlled services are not started at boot
+time but in response to external events (e.g. plugging in a particular
+piece of hardware) so you probably don't want to be starting them by
+hand if the conditions aren't there.
+
+A service may be *up* or *down* (there are no intermediate states like
+"started" or "stopping" or "dying" or "cogitating"). Some (but not all)
+services have "readiness" notifications: the dependents of a service
+with a readiness notification won't be started until the service signals
+(by writing to a nominated file descriptor) that it's prepared to start
+work. Most services defined by Liminix also have a `+timeout-up+`
+parameter, which means that if a service has readiness notifications and
+doesn't become ready in the allotted time (defaults 20 seconds) it will
+be terminated and its state set to *down*.
+
+If the process providing a service dies, it will be restarted
+automatically. Liminix does not automatically set it to *down*.
+
+(If the process providing a service dies without ever notifying
+readiness, Liminix will restart it as many times as it has to until the
+timeout period elapses, and then stop it and mark it down.)
+
+==== Controlled services
+
+*Controlled* services are those which are started/stopped on demand by a
+*controller* (another service) instead of being started at boot time.
+For example:
+
+* `+svc.uevent-rule.build+` creates a controlled service which is active
+when a particular hardware device (identified by uevent/sysfs directory)
+is present.
+* `+svc.round-robin.build+` creates a service controller that invokes
+two or more services in turn, running the next one when the process
+providing the previous one exits. We use this for failover from one
+network connection to a backup connection, for example.
+* `+svc.health-check.build+` creates a service controller that runs a
+controlled service and periodically tests whether it is healthy by
+running an external health check command or script. If the check command
+repeatedly fails, the controlled service is restarted.
++
+The Configuration section of the manual describes controlled services in
+more detail. Some operational considerations
+* `+round-robin+` detects a service status by looking at its `+outputs+`
+directory, so it won't work unless the service creates some outputs.
+This is considered a bug and will be fixed in a future release
+* `+health-check+` works for longruns but not for oneshots, as it
+internally relies on `+s6-svc+` to restart the process
+
+==== Logs
+
+Logs for all services are collated into `+/run/log/current+`. The log
+file is rotated when it reaches a threshold size, into another file in
+the same directory whose name contains a TAI64 timestamp.
+
+Each log line is prefixed with a TAI64 timestamp and the name of the
+service, if it is a longrun. If it is a oneshot, a timestamp and the
+name of some other service. To convert the timestamp into a
+human-readable format, use `+s6-tai64nlocal+`.

+----
+
+===== Log persistence
+
+Logs written to `+/run/log/+` will not survive a reboot or crash, as it
+is an ephemeral filesystem.
+
+On supported hardware you can enable logging to
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/pstore[pstore]
+which means the most recent log messages will be preserved on reboot.
+Set the config option `+logging.persistent.enable = true+` to log
+messages to `+/dev/pmsg0+` as well as to the regular log. This is a
+circular buffer, so when it fills up newer messages will overwrite the
+oldest messages.
+
+Logs found in pstore after a reboot will be moved at startup to
+`+/run/log/previous-boot+`
+
+=== Updating an installed system
+
+If your system has a writable root filesystem (JFFS2, btrfs etc
+-anything but squashfs), we have mechanisms for in-places updates
+analogous to `+nixos-rebuild+`, but the operation is a bit different
+because it expects to run on a build machine and then copy to the host
+device using `+ssh+`.
+
+To use this, build the `+outputs.updater+` target and then run the
+`+update.sh+` script it generates.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
+   --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" \
+   -A outputs.updater
+./result/bin/update.sh root@the-device 
+----
+
+The update script uses min-copy-closure to copy new or changed packages
+to the device, then (perhaps) reboots it. The reboot behaviour can be
+affected by flags:
+
+* [.title-ref]#--no-reboot# will cause it not to reboot at all, if you
+would rather do that yourself. Note that none of the newly-installed or
+updated services will be running until you do.
+* [.title-ref]#--fast# causes it tn not do a full reboot, but instead to
+restart only the services that have been changed. This will restart all
+of the services that have updated store paths (and anything that depends
+on them), but will not affect services that haven't changed.
+
+It doesn't delete old packages automatically: to do that run
+`+min-collect-garbage+`, which will delete any packages not in the
+current system closure. Note that Liminix does not have the NixOS
+concept of environments or generations, and there is no way back from
+this except for building the previous configuration again.
+
+==== Caveats
+
+* it needs there to be enough free space on the device for all the new
+packages in addition to all the packages already on it - which may be a
+problem if there is little flash storage or if a lot of things have
+changed (e.g. a new version of nixpkgs).
+* it may not be able to upgrade the kernel: this is device-dependent. If
+your device boots from a kernel image on a raw MTD partition or or UBI
+volume, update.sh is unable to alter the kernel partition. If your
+device boots from a kernel inside the filesystem (e.g. using
+bootloader.extlinux or bootloder.fit) then the kernel will be upgraded
+along with the userland
+
+==== Recovery/downgrades
+
+The `+update.sh+` script also creates a timestamped symlink on the
+device which points to the system configuration it installs. If you
+install a configuration that doesn't work, you can revert to any other
+installed configuration by
+
+[arabic]
+. booting to some kind of rescue or recovery system (which may be some
+vendor-provided rescue option, or your own recovery system perhaps based
+on `+examples/recovery.nix+`) and mounting your Liminix filesystem on
+/mnt
+. picking another previously-installed configuration that _link:[did]
+work, and switching back to it:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# ls  -ld /mnt/*configuration
+lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20252102T182104.configuration -> nix/store/v1w0h4zw65ah4c2r0k7nyy125qrxhq78-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
+lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration -> nix/store/wqjl9s9xljl2wg8257292zghws9ssidk-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
+# : 20251802T181822 is the working system, so reinstall it
+# /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration/bin/install /mnt
+# umount /mnt
+# reboot
+----
+
+This will install the previous configuration's activation binary into
+/bin, and copy its kernel and initramfs into /boot. Note that it depends
+on the previous system not having been garbage-collected.
+
+==== Adding packages
+
+If you simply wish to add a package without any change to services, you
+can call `+min-copy-closure+` directly to install any package in Nixpkgs
+or in the Liminix overlay
+
+[source,console]
+----
+nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
+ --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" -A pkgs.tcpdump
+
+nix-shell -p min-copy-closure root@the-device result/
+----
+
+Note that this only copies the package and its dependencies to the
+device: it doesn't update any profile to add it to `+$PATH+`
+
+[reftext="Levitate"]
+[[levitate]]
+=== Levitate: Reinstalling on a running system
+
+Liminix is initially installed from a monolithic `+firmware.bin+` - and
+unless you're running a writable filesystem, the only way to update it
+is to build and install a whole new `+firmware.bin+`. However, you
+probably would prefer not to have to remove it from its installation
+site, unplug it from the network and stick serial cables in it all over
+again.
+
+It is not (generally) safe to install a new firmware onto the flash
+partitions that the active system is running on. To address this we have
+`+levitate+`, which a way for a running Liminix system to "soft restart"
+into a ramdisk running only a limited set of services, so that the main
+partitions can then be safely flashed.
+
+==== Configuration
+
+Levitate _needs to be configured when you create the initial system_ to
+specify which services/packages/etc to run in maintenance mode. Most
+likely you want to configure a network interface and an ssh for example
+so that you can login to reflash it.
+
+[source,nix]
+----
+defaultProfile.packages = with pkgs; [
+  ...
+  (levitate.override {
+    config  = {
+      services = {
+        inherit (config.services) dhcpc sshd watchdog;
+      };
+      defaultProfile.packages = [ mtdutils ];
+      users.root = config.users.root;
+    };
+  })
+];
+----
+
+==== Use
+
+Connect (with ssh, probably) to the running Liminix system that you wish
+to upgrade.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+bash$ ssh root@the-device
+----
+
+Run `+levitate+`. This takes a little while (perhaps a few tens of
+seconds) to execute, and copies all config required for maintenance mode
+to `+/run/maintenance+`.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# levitate 
+----
+
+Reboot into maintenance mode. You will be logged out
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# reboot
+----
+
+Connect to the device again - note that the ssh host key will have
+changed.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null root@the-device
+----
+
+Check we're in maintenance mode
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# cat /etc/banner 
+
+LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE
+
+Most services are disabled. The system is operating
+with a ram-based root filesystem, making it safe to
+overwrite the flash devices in order to perform
+upgrades and maintenance.
+
+Don't forget to reboot when you have finished.
+----
+
+Perform the upgrade, using flashcp. This is an example, your device will
+differ
+
+[source,console]

-Liminix services are built on s6-rc, which is itself layered on s6.
-Services are defined at build time in your configuration (see
-:ref:`configuration-services` for information) and can't be added
-to/changed at runtime, but to monitor
-events or diagnose problems you may need to inspect them on the
-running system. Here are some of the most commonly used s6,-rc
-commands:

-     - How
-   * - List all running services
-     - ``s6-rc -a list``
-   * - List all services that are **not** running
-     - ``s6-rc -da list``
-   * - List services that ``wombat`` depends on
-     - ``s6-rc-db dependencies wombat``
-   * - ... transitively
-     - ``s6-rc-db all-dependencies wombat``

-   * - Start service ``wombat`` and all* services depending on it
-     - ``s6-rc-up-tree wombat``
-
-:command:`s6-rc-up-tree` brings up a service and all services that
-depend on it, except for any services that depend on a "controlled"
-service that is not currently running. Controlled services are not
-started at boot time but in response to external events (e.g. plugging
-in a particular piece of hardware) so you probably don't want to be
-starting them by hand if the conditions aren't there.
-
-A service may be **up** or **down** (there are no intermediate states
-like "started" or "stopping" or "dying" or "cogitating"). Some (but
-not all) services have "readiness" notifications: the dependents of a
-service with a readiness notification won't be started until the
-service signals (by writing to a nominated file descriptor) that it's
-prepared to start work. Most services defined by Liminix also have a
-``timeout-up`` parameter, which means that if a service has readiness
-notifications and doesn't become ready in the allotted time (defaults
-20 seconds) it will be terminated and its state set to **down**.
-
-If the process providing a service dies, it will be restarted
-automatically. Liminix does not automatically set it to **down**.
-
-(If the process providing a service dies without ever notifying
-readiness, Liminix will restart it as many times as it has to until the
-timeout period elapses, and then stop it and mark it down.)
-
-Controlled services
-===================
-
-**Controlled** services are those which are started/stopped on demand
-by a **controller** (another service) instead of being started at boot
-time.  For example:
-
-* ``svc.uevent-rule.build`` creates a controlled service which is
-  active when a particular hardware device (identified by uevent/sysfs
-  directory) is present.
-
-* ``svc.round-robin.build`` creates a service controller that
-  invokes two or more services in turn, running the next one when the
-  process providing the previous one exits. We use this for failover
-  from one network connection to a backup connection, for example.
-
-* ``svc.health-check.build`` creates a service controller that
-  runs a controlled service and periodically tests whether it is
-  healthy by running an external health check command or script. If the
-  check command repeatedly fails, the controlled service is
-  restarted.
-
-  The Configuration section of the manual describes controlled
-  services in more detail. Some operational considerations
-
-* ``round-robin`` detects a service status by looking at its
-  :file:`outputs` directory, so it won't work unless the service
-  creates some outputs. This is considered a bug and will be
-  fixed in a future release
-
-* ``health-check`` works for longruns but not for oneshots, as it
-  internally relies on ``s6-svc`` to restart the process
-
-Logs
-====
-
-Logs for all services are collated into :file:`/run/log/current`.
-The log file is rotated when it reaches a threshold size, into another
-file in the same directory whose name contains a TAI64 timestamp.
-
-Each log line is prefixed with a TAI64 timestamp and the name of the
-service, if it is a longrun. If it is a oneshot, a timestamp and the
-name of some other service. To convert the timestamp into a
-human-readable format, use :command:`s6-tai64nlocal`.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-

-
-Log persistence
----------------
-
-Logs written to :file:`/run/log/` will not survive a reboot or crash,
-as it is an ephemeral filesystem.
-
-On supported hardware you can enable logging to `pstore
-<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/pstore>`_ which
-means the most recent log messages will be preserved on reboot.  Set
-the config option ``logging.persistent.enable = true`` to log messages
-to :file:`/dev/pmsg0` as well as to the regular log. This is a
-circular buffer, so when it fills up newer messages will overwrite the
-oldest messages.
-
-Logs found in pstore after a reboot will be moved at startup to
-:file:`/run/log/previous-boot`
-
-
-
-Updating an installed system
-****************************
-
-If your system has a writable root filesystem (JFFS2, btrfs etc -
-anything but squashfs), we have mechanisms for in-places updates
-analogous to :command:`nixos-rebuild`, but the operation is a bit
-different because it expects to run on a build machine and then copy
-to the host device using :command:`ssh`.
-
-To use this, build the ``outputs.updater``
-target and then run the :command:`update.sh` script it generates.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
-       --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" \
-       -A outputs.updater
-    ./result/bin/update.sh root@the-device 
-
-The update script uses min-copy-closure to copy new or changed
-packages to the device, then (perhaps) reboots it. The reboot
-behaviour can be affected by flags:
-
-* `--no-reboot` will cause it not to reboot at all, if you would
-  rather do that yourself. Note that none of the newly-installed or
-  updated services will be running until you do.
-
-* `--fast` causes it tn not do a full reboot, but instead to restart
-  only the services that have been changed. This will restart all of
-  the services that have updated store paths (and anything that
-  depends on them), but will not affect services that haven't changed.
-
-It doesn't delete old packages automatically: to do that run
-:command:`min-collect-garbage`, which will delete any packages not in
-the current system closure. Note that Liminix does not have the NixOS
-concept of environments or generations, and there is no way back from
-this except for building the previous configuration again.
-
-Caveats
--------
-
-* it needs there to be enough free space on the device for all the new
-  packages in addition to all the packages already on it - which may
-  be a problem if there is little flash storage or if a lot of things
-  have changed (e.g. a new version of nixpkgs).
-
-* it may not be able to upgrade the kernel: this is device-dependent.
-  If your device boots from a kernel image on a raw MTD partition or
-  or UBI volume, update.sh is unable to alter the kernel partition.
-  If your device boots from a kernel inside the filesystem (e.g. using
-  bootloader.extlinux or bootloder.fit) then the kernel will be
-  upgraded along with the userland
-
-
-Recovery/downgrades
--------------------
-
-The :command:`update.sh` script also creates a timestamped symlink on
-the device which points to the system configuration it installs. If
-you install a configuration that doesn't work, you can revert to any
-other installed configuration by
-
-1) booting to some kind of rescue or recovery system (which may be
-   some vendor-provided rescue option, or your own recovery system
-   perhaps based on :file:`examples/recovery.nix`) and mounting
-   your Liminix filesystem on /mnt
-
-2) picking another previously-installed configuration that _did_ work,
-   and switching back to it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-   
-    # ls  -ld /mnt/*configuration
-    lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20252102T182104.configuration -> nix/store/v1w0h4zw65ah4c2r0k7nyy125qrxhq78-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
-    lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration -> nix/store/wqjl9s9xljl2wg8257292zghws9ssidk-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
-    # : 20251802T181822 is the working system, so reinstall it
-    # /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration/bin/install /mnt
-    # umount /mnt
-    # reboot
-    
-This will install the previous configuration's activation binary into
-/bin, and copy its kernel and initramfs into /boot. Note that it
-depends on the previous system not having been garbage-collected.
-
-
-
-
-.. _levitate:  
-
-Adding packages
-===============
-
-If you simply wish to add a package without any change to services,
-you can call :command:`min-copy-closure` directly to install
-any package in Nixpkgs or in the Liminix overlay
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
-     --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" -A pkgs.tcpdump
-
-    nix-shell -p min-copy-closure root@the-device result/
-
-Note that this only copies the package and its dependencies to the
-device: it doesn't update any profile to add it to ``$PATH``
-
-
-.. _rebuilding the system:
-
-Reinstalling on a running system
-********************************
-
-Liminix is initially installed from a monolithic
-:file:`firmware.bin` - and unless you're running a writable
-filesystem, the only way to update it is to build and install a whole
-new :file:`firmware.bin`.  However, you probably would prefer not to
-have to remove it from its installation site, unplug it from the
-network and stick serial cables in it all over again.
-
-It is not (generally) safe to install a new firmware onto the flash
-partitions that the active system is running on. To address this we
-have :command:`levitate`, which a way for a running Liminix system to
-"soft restart" into a ramdisk running only a limited set of services,
-so that the main partitions can then be safely flashed.
-
-
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-Levitate *needs to be configured when you create the initial system*
-to specify which services/packages/etc to run in maintenance
-mode. Most likely you want to configure a network interface and an ssh
-for example so that you can login to reflash it.
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-
-  defaultProfile.packages = with pkgs; [
-    ...
-    (levitate.override {
-      config  = {
-        services = {
-          inherit (config.services) dhcpc sshd watchdog;
-        };
-        defaultProfile.packages = [ mtdutils ];
-        users.root = config.users.root;
-      };
-    })
-  ];
-  		
-
-
-Use
-===
-
-Connect (with ssh, probably) to the running Liminix system that you
-wish to upgrade.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  bash$ ssh root@the-device
-  
-Run :command:`levitate`. This takes a little while (perhaps a few
-tens of seconds) to execute, and copies all config required for
-maintenance mode to :file:`/run/maintenance`.
-  
-.. code-block:: console
-  
-  # levitate 
-  
-Reboot into maintenance mode. You will be logged out
-  
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  # reboot
-  
-Connect to the device again - note that the ssh host key will have changed.
-  
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  # ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null root@the-device
-  
-Check we're in maintenance mode
-  
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  # cat /etc/banner 
-  
-  LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE
-  
-  Most services are disabled. The system is operating
-  with a ram-based root filesystem, making it safe to
-  overwrite the flash devices in order to perform
-  upgrades and maintenance.
-  
-  Don't forget to reboot when you have finished.
-  
-Perform the upgrade, using flashcp. This is an example,
-your device will differ
-   
-.. code-block:: console
-
-  # cat /proc/mtd 
-  dev:    size   erasesize  name
-  mtd0: 00030000 00010000 "u-boot"
-  mtd1: 00010000 00010000 "u-boot-env"

+= Code of Conduct
+
+NOTE: As of Feb 2023, "`RESPONSE TEAM`" and "`LEADERSHIP TEAM`" in the text
+that follows both refer to me, Daniel Barlow, as the project leader.
+
+Liminix is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for
+everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all Liminix spaces, including the IRC
+channel, mailing lists, and other forums, both online and off. Anyone
+who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from
+these spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.
+
+Some Liminix spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be
+made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for
+knowing and abiding by these rules.
+
+Harassment includes:
+
+* Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
+sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,
+physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
+* Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and
+practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs,
+and employment.
+* Deliberate misgendering or use of '`dead`' or rejected names.
+* Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where
+they’re not appropriate.
+* Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual
+descriptions like "`__hug__`" or "`__backrub__`") without consent or
+after a request to stop.
+* Threats of violence.
+* Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a
+person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
+* Deliberate intimidation.
+* Stalking or following.
+* Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity
+for harassment purposes.
+* Sustained disruption of discussion.
+* Unwelcome sexual attention.
+* Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming
+inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
+* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
+* Deliberate "`outing`" of any aspect of a person’s identity without
+their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from
+intentional abuse.
+* Publication of non-harassing private communication.
+
+Liminix prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged
+people’s comfort. RESPONSE TEAM reserves the right not to act on
+complaints regarding:
+
+* '`Reverse`' -isms, including '`reverse racism,`' '`reverse sexism,`'
+and '`cisphobia`'
+* Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "`leave me alone,`"
+"`go away,`" or "`I’m not discussing this with you.`"
+* Communicating in a '`tone`' you don’t find congenial
+* Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive
+behavior or assumptions
+
+== Reporting
+
+If you are being harassed by a member of Liminix, notice that someone
+else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the
+RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If the person
+who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from
+handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.
+
+This code of conduct applies to Liminix spaces, but if you are being
+harassed by a member of Liminix outside our spaces, we still want to
+know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by
+Liminix members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This includes
+harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any
+point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from
+Liminix based on their past behavior, including behavior outside Liminix
+spaces and behavior towards people who are not in Liminix.
+
+In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the
+right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith.
+Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without
+response.
+
+We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting
+victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about
+whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third
+parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety
+of Liminix members or the general public. We will not name harassment
+victims without their affirmative consent.
+
+== Consequences
+
+Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
+immediately.
+
+If a participant engages in harassing behavior, RESPONSE TEAM may take
+any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all
+Liminix spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to
+other Liminix members or the general public.

+== Configuration
+
+There are many things you can specify in a configuration, but most
+commonly you need to change:
+
+* which services (processes) to run
+* what packages to install
+* permitted users and groups
+* Linux kernel configuration options
+* Busybox applets
+* filesystem layout
+
+=== Modules
+
+*Modules* are a means of abstraction which allow "bundling" of
+configuration options related to a common purpose or theme. For example,
+the `+dnsmasq+` module defines a template for a dnsmasq service, ensures
+that the dnsmasq package is installed, and provides a dnsmasq user and
+group for the service to run as. The `+ppp+` module defines a service
+template and also enables various PPP-related kernel configuration.
+
+Not all modules are included in the configuration by default, because
+that would mean that the kernel (and the Busybox binary providing common
+CLI tools) was compiled with many unnecessary bells and whistles and
+therefore be bigger than needed. (This is not purely an academic concern
+if your device has little flash storage). Therefore, specifying a
+service is usually a two-step process. For example, to add an NTP
+service you first add `+modules/ntp+` to your `+imports+` list, then you
+create a service by calling `+config.system.service.ntp.build { .... }+`
+with the appropriate service-dependent configuration parameters.
+
+[source,nix]
+----
+let svc = config.system.service;
+in {
+  # ...
+  imports = [
+    ./modules/ntp
+    # ....
+  ];
+  config.services.ntp = svc.ntp.build {
+    pools = { "pool.ntp.org" = ["iburst"]; };
+    makestep = { threshold = 1.0; limit = 3; };
+  };
+----
+
+Merely including the module won't define the service on its own: it only
+creates the template in `+config.system.service.foo+` and you have to
+create an actual service using the template. This is an intentional
+choice to allow the creation of multiple differently-configured services
+based on the same template - perhaps e.g. when you have multiple
+networks (VPNs etc) in different trust domains, or you want to run two
+SSH daemons on different ports. (For the background to this, please
+refer to the `+architecture decision record <adr/module-system>+`)
+
+[TIP]
+====
+Liminix modules should be quite familiar (but also different) if you
+already know how to use NixOS modules. We use the NixOS module
+infrastructure code, meaning that you should recognise the syntax, the
+type system, the rules for combining configuration values from different
+sources. We don't use the NixOS modules themselves, because the
+underlying system is not similar enough for them to work.
+====
+
+[[configuration-services]]
+=== Services
+
+In Liminix a service is any kind of long-running task or process on the
+system, that is managed (started, stopped, and monitored) by a service
+supervisor. A typical SOHO router might have services to
+
+* answer DHCP and DNS requests from the LAN
+* provide a wireless access point
+* connect using PPPoE or L2TP to an upstream network
+* start/stop the firewall
+* enable/disable IP packet forwarding
+* mount filesystems
+
+(Some of these might not be considered services using other definitions
+of the term: for example, this L2TP process would be a "client" in the
+client/server classification; and enabling packet forwarding doesn't
+require any long-lived process - just a setting to be toggled. However,
+there is value in being able to use the same abstractions for all the
+things to manage them and specify their dependency relationships - so in
+Liminix "everything is a service")
+
+The service supervision system enables service health monitoring,
+restart of unhealthy services, and failover to "backup" services when a
+primary service fails or its dependencies are unavailable. The intention
+is that you have a framework in which you can specify policy
+requirements like "ethernet wan dhcp-client should be restarted if it
+crashes, but if it can't start because the hardware link is down, then
+4G ppp service should be started instead".
+
+Any attribute in [.title-ref]#config.services# will become part of the
+default set of services that s6-rc will try to bring up. Services are
+usually started at boot time, but *controlled services* are those that
+are required only in particular contexts. For example, a service to
+mount a USB backup drive should run only when the drive is attached to
+the system. Liminix currently implements three kinds of controlled
+service:
+
+* "uevent-rule" service controllers use sysfs/uevent to identify when
+particular hardware devices are present, and start/stop a controlled
+service appropriately.
+* the "round-robin" service controller is used for service failover: it
+allows you to specify a list of services and runs each of them in turn
+until it exits, then runs the next.
+* the "health-check" service wraps another service, and runs a "health
+check" command at regular intervals. When the health check fails,
+indicating that the wrapped service is not working, it is terminated and
+allowed to restart.
+
+=== Runtime secrets (external vault)
+
+Secrets (such as wifi passphrases, PPP username/password, SSH keys, etc)
+that you provide as literal values in `+configuration.nix+` are
+processed into into config files and scripts at build time, and
+eventually end up in various files in the (world-readable)
+`+/nix/store+` before being baked into a flashable image. To change a
+secret - whether due to a compromise, or just as part of to a routine
+key rotation - you need to rebuild the configuration and potentially
+reflash the affected devices.
+
+To avoid this, you may instead use a "secrets service", which is a
+mechanism for your device to fetch secrets from a source external to the
+Nix store, and create at runtime the configuration files and scripts
+that start the services which require them.
+
+Not every possible parameter to every possible service is configurable
+using a secrets service. Parameters which can be configured this way are
+those with the type `+liminix.lib.types.replacable+`. At the time this
+document was written, these include:
+
+* ppp (pppoe and l2tp): `+username+`, `+password+`
+* ssh: `+authorizedKeys+`
+* hostapd: all parameters (most likely to be useful for
+`+wpa_passphrase+`)
+
+To use a runtime secret for any of these parameters:
+
+* create a secrets service to specify the source of truth for secrets
+* use the `+outputRef+` function in the service parameter to specify the
+secrets service and path
+
+For example, given you had an HTTPS server hosting a JSON file with the
+structure
+
+[source,json]
+----
+"ssh": {
+  "authorizedKeys": {
+"root": [ "ssh-rsa ....",  "ssh-rsa ....", ... ]
+"guest": [ "ssh-rsa ....",  "ssh-rsa ....", ... ]
+  }
+}
+----
+
+you could use a `+configuration.nix+` fragment something like this to
+make those keys visible to ssh:
+
+[source,nix]
+----
+services.secrets = svc.secrets.outboard.build {
+  name = "secret-service";
+  url = "http://10.0.0.1/secrets.json";
+  username = "secrets";
+  password = "liminix";
+  interval = 30; # minutes
+  dependencies = [ config.services.lan ];
+};
+services.sshd = svc.ssh.build {
+  authorizedKeys = outputRef config.services.secrets "ssh/authorizedKeys";
+};
+----
+
+There are presently two implementations of a secrets service:
+
+===== Outboard secrets (HTTPS)
+
+This service expects a URL to a JSON file containing all the secrets.
+
+You may specify a username and password along with the URL, which are
+used if the file is password-protected (HTTP Basic authentication). Note
+that this is not a protection against a malicious local user: the
+username and password are normal build-time parameters so will be
+readable in the Nix store. This is a mitigation against the URL being
+accidentally discovered due to e.g. a log file or error message on the
+server leaking.
+

-Configuration
-#############
-
-There are many things you can specify in a configuration, but these
-are the ones you most commonly need to change:
-
-* which services (processes) to run
-* what packages to install
-* permitted users and groups
-* Linux kernel configuration options
-* Busybox applets
-* filesystem layout
-
-
-Modules
-*******
-
-**Modules** are a means of abstraction which allow "bundling"
-of configuration options related to a common purpose or theme. For
-example, the ``dnsmasq`` module defines a template for a dnsmasq
-service, ensures that the dnsmasq package is installed, and provides a
-dnsmasq user and group for the service to run as. The ``ppp`` module
-defines a service template and also enables various PPP-related kernel
-configuration.
-
-Not all modules are included in the configuration by default, because
-that would mean that the kernel (and the Busybox binary providing
-common CLI tools) was compiled with many unnecessary bells and whistles
-and therefore be bigger than needed. (This is not purely an academic concern
-if your device has little flash storage).  Therefore, specifying a
-service is usually a two-step process.  For example, to add an NTP
-service you first add :file:`modules/ntp` to your ``imports`` list,
-then you create a service by calling
-:code:`config.system.service.ntp.build { .... }` with the appropriate
-service-dependent configuration parameters.
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-
-  let svc = config.system.service;
-  in {
-    # ...
-    imports = [
-      ./modules/ntp
-      # ....
-    ];
-    config.services.ntp = svc.ntp.build {
-      pools = { "pool.ntp.org" = ["iburst"]; };
-      makestep = { threshold = 1.0; limit = 3; };
-    };
-
-Merely including the module won't define the service on its own: it
-only creates the template in ``config.system.service.foo`` and you
-have to create an actual service using the template. This is an
-intentional choice to allow the creation of multiple
-differently-configured services based on the same template - perhaps
-e.g. when you have multiple networks (VPNs etc) in different trust
-domains, or you want to run two SSH daemons on different ports.
-(For the background to this, please refer to the :doc:`architecture decision record <adr/module-system>`)
-
-.. tip:: Liminix modules should be quite familiar (but also different)
-	 if you already know how to use NixOS modules. We use the
-	 NixOS module infrastructure code, meaning that you should
-	 recognise the syntax, the type system, the rules for
-	 combining configuration values from different sources. We
-	 don't use the NixOS modules themselves, because the
-	 underlying system is not similar enough for them to work.

-Services
-********
-
-In Liminix a service is any kind of long-running task or process on
-the system, that is managed (started, stopped, and monitored) by a
-service supervisor.  A typical SOHO router might have services to
-
-* answer DHCP and DNS requests from the LAN
-* provide a wireless access point
-* connect using PPPoE or L2TP to an upstream network
-* start/stop the firewall
-* enable/disable IP packet forwarding
-* mount filesystems
-
-(Some of these might not be considered services using other
-definitions of the term: for example, this L2TP process would be a
-"client" in the client/server classification; and enabling packet
-forwarding doesn't require any long-lived process - just a setting to
-be toggled.  However, there is value in being able to use the same
-abstractions for all the things to manage them and specify their
-dependency relationships - so in Liminix "everything is a service")
-
-The service supervision system enables service health monitoring,
-restart of unhealthy services, and failover to "backup" services when
-a primary service fails or its dependencies are unavailable. The
-intention is that you have a framework in which you can specify policy
-requirements like "ethernet wan dhcp-client should be restarted if it
-crashes, but if it can't start because the hardware link is down, then
-4G ppp service should be started instead".
-
-Any attribute in `config.services` will become part of the default set
-of services that s6-rc will try to bring up.  Services are usually
-started at boot time, but **controlled services** are those that are
-required only in particular contexts.  For example, a service to mount
-a USB backup drive should run only when the drive is attached to the
-system. Liminix currently implements three kinds of controlled service:
-
-* "uevent-rule" service controllers use sysfs/uevent to identify when
-  particular hardware devices are present, and start/stop a controlled
-  service appropriately.
-
-* the "round-robin" service controller is used for service failover:
-  it allows you to specify a list of services and runs each of them
-  in turn until it exits, then runs the next.
-
-* the "health-check" service wraps another service, and runs a "health
-  check" command at regular intervals. When the health check fails,
-  indicating that the wrapped service is not working, it is terminated
-  and allowed to restart.
-
-Runtime secrets (external vault)
-================================
-
-Secrets (such as wifi passphrases, PPP username/password, SSH keys,
-etc) that you provide as literal values in :file:`configuration.nix`
-are processed into into config files and scripts at build time, and
-eventually end up in various files in the (world-readable)
-:file:`/nix/store` before being baked into a flashable image. To
-change a secret - whether due to a compromise, or just as part of to a
-routine key rotation - you need to rebuild the configuration and
-potentially reflash the affected devices.
-
-To avoid this, you may instead use a "secrets service", which is a
-mechanism for your device to fetch secrets from a source external to
-the Nix store, and create at runtime the configuration files and
-scripts that start the services which require them.
-
-Not every possible parameter to every possible service is configurable
-using a secrets service. Parameters which can be configured this way
-are those with the type ``liminix.lib.types.replacable``. At the time
-this document was written, these include:
-
-* ppp (pppoe and l2tp): ``username``, ``password``
-* ssh: ``authorizedKeys``
-* hostapd: all parameters (most likely to be useful for ``wpa_passphrase``)
-
-To use a runtime secret for any of these parameters:
-
-* create a secrets service to specify the source of truth for secrets
-* use the :code:`outputRef` function in the service parameter to specify the secrets service and path
-
-For example, given you had an HTTPS server hosting a JSON file with the structure
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-    "ssh": {
-      "authorizedKeys": {
-	"root": [ "ssh-rsa ....",  "ssh-rsa ....", ... ]
-	"guest": [ "ssh-rsa ....",  "ssh-rsa ....", ... ]
-      }
-    }
- 
-you could use a :file:`configuration.nix` fragment something like this
-to make those keys visible to ssh:
-  
-.. code-block:: nix  
-
-    services.secrets = svc.secrets.outboard.build {
-      name = "secret-service";
-      url = "http://10.0.0.1/secrets.json";
-      username = "secrets";
-      password = "liminix";
-      interval = 30; # minutes
-      dependencies = [ config.services.lan ];
-    };
-    services.sshd = svc.ssh.build {
-      authorizedKeys = outputRef config.services.secrets "ssh/authorizedKeys";
-    };
-
-
-    
-There are presently two implementations of a secrets service:
-
-Outboard secrets (HTTPS)
-------------------------
-
-This service expects a URL to a JSON file containing all the secrets.
-
-You may specify a username and password along with the URL, which are
-used if the file is password-protected (HTTP Basic
-authentication). Note that this is not a protection against a
-malicious local user: the username and password are normal build-time
-parameters so will be readable in the Nix store.  This is a mitigation
-against the URL being accidentally discovered due to e.g. a log file
-or error message on the server leaking.
-
-
-Tang secrets (encrypted local file)
------------------------------------
-
-Aternatively, secrets may be stored locally on the device, in a file
-that has been encrypted using `Tang <https://github.com/latchset/tang>`_.
-
-    Tang is a server for binding data to network presence.
-
-    This sounds fancy, but the concept is simple. You have some data, but you only want it to be available when the system containing the data is on a certain, usually secure, network. 
-
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-
-    services.secrets = svc.secrets.tang.build {
-      name = "secret-service";
-      path = "/run/mnt/usbstick/secrets.json.jwe";
-      interval = 30; # minutes
-      dependencies = [ config.services.mount-usbstick ];
-    };
-
-The encryption uses the
-same scheme/algorithm as `Clevis <https://github.com/latchset/clevis>`_ : you may use the `Clevis instructions <https://github.com/latchset/clevis?tab=readme-ov-file#pin-tang>`_ to
-encrypt the file on another host and then copy it to your Liminix
-device, or you can use :command:`tangc encrypt` to encrypt directly on
-the device.  (That latter approach may pose a chicken/egg problem if
-the device needs secrets to boot up and run the services you are
-relying on in order to login).
- 
-
-Writing services
-================
-
-For the most part, for common use cases, hopefully the services you
-need will be defined by modules and you will only have to pass the
-right parameters to ``build``.
-
-Should you need to create a custom service of your own devising, use
-the `oneshot` or `longrun` functions:
-
-* a "longrun" service is the "normal" service concept: it has a
-  ``run`` action which describes the process to start, and it watches
-  that process to restart it if it exits. The process should not
-  attempt to daemonize or "background" itself, otherwise s6-rc will think
-  it died. Whatever it prints to standard output/standard error
-  will be logged.
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-
-    config.services.cowsayd = pkgs.liminix.services.longrun {
-      name = "cowsayd";
-      run = "${pkgs.cowsayd}/bin/cowsayd --port 3001 --breed hereford";
-      # don't start this until the lan interface is ready
-      dependencies = [ config.services.lan ];
-    }
-
-
-* a "oneshot" service doesn't have a process attached. It consists of
-  ``up`` and ``down`` actions which are bits of shell script that
-  are run at the appropriate points in the service lifecycle
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-
-    config.services.greenled = pkgs.liminix.services.oneshot {
-      name = "greenled";
-      up = ''
-	echo 17 > /sys/class/gpio/export
-	echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
-	echo 0   > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
-      '';
-      down = ''
-	echo 0   > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
-      '';
-    }
-
-Services may have dependencies: as you see above in the ``cowsayd``
-example, it depends on some service called ``config.services.lan``,
-meaning that it won't be started until that other service is up.
-
-Service outputs
-===============
-
-Outputs are a mechanism by which a service can provide data which may
-be required by other services. For example:
-
-* the DHCP client service can expect to receive nameserver address
-  information as one of the fields in the response from the DHCP
-  server: we provide that as an output which a dependent service for a
-  stub name resolver can use to configure its upstream servers.
-
-* a service that creates a new network interface (e.g. ppp) will
-  provide the name of the interface (:code:`ppp0`, or :code:`ppp1` or
-  :code:`ppp7`) as an output so that a dependent service can reference
-  it to set up a route, or to configure firewall rules.
-
-A service :code:`myservice` should write its outputs as files in
-:file:`/run/services/outputs/myservice`: you can look around this
-directory on a running Liminix system to see how it's used currently.
-Usually we use the :code:`in_outputs` shell function in the
-:command:`up` or :command:`run` attributes of the service:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-		
-    (in_outputs ${name}
-     for i in lease mask ip router siaddr dns serverid subnet opt53 interface ; do
-       (printenv $i || true) > $i
-     done)
- 
-The outputs are just files, so technically you can read them using
-anything that can read a file. Liminix has two "preferred"
-mechanisms, though:
-
-One-off lookups
----------------
-
-In any context that ends up being evaluated by the shell, use 
-:code:`output` to print the value of an output
-
-.. code-block:: nix
-		
-    services.defaultroute4 = svc.network.route.build {
-      via = "$(output ${services.wan} address)";
-      target = "default";
-      dependencies = [ services.wan ];
-    };	  
-
-    
-Continuous updates
-------------------
-
-The downside of using shell functions in downstream service startup
-scripts is that they only run when the service starts up: if a service
-output *changes*, the downstream service would have to be restarted to
-notice the change. Sometimes this is OK but other times the downstream
-has no other need to restart, if it can only get its new data.
-
-For this case, there is the :code:`anoia.svc` Fennel library, which
-allows you to write a simple loop which is iterated over whenever a
-service's outputs change. This code is from
-:file:`modules/dhcp6c/acquire-wan-address.fnl`
-
-.. code-block:: fennel
-
-    (fn update-addresses [wan-device addresses new-addresses exec]
-      ;; run some appropriate "ip address [add|remove]" commands
-      )
-
-    (fn run []
-      (let [[state-directory wan-device] arg
-	    dir (svc.open state-directory)]
-	(accumulate [addresses []
-		     v (dir:events)]
-	  (update-addresses wan-device addresses
-	                    (or (v:output "address") []) system))))		
-
-The :code:`output` method seen here accepts a filename (relative
-to the service's output directory), or a directory name. It 
-returns the first line of that file, or for directories it
-returns a table (Lua's key/value datastructure, similar to
-a hash/dictionary) of the outputs in that directory.
-	  
-    
-Output design considerations
-----------------------------
-
-For preference, outputs should be short and simple, and not require
-downstream services to do complicated parsing in order to use them.
-Shell commands in Liminix are run using the Busybox shell which
-doesn't have the niceties of an advanced shell like Bash let alone
-those of a real programming language.
-
-Note also that the Lua :code:`svc` library only reads the first line
-of each output.
-
-
-Module implementation
-*********************
-
-Modules in Liminix conventionally live in
-:file:`modules/somename/default.nix`. If you want or need to
-write your own, you may wish to refer to the
-examples there in conjunction with reading this section.
-
-A module is a function that accepts ``{lib, pkgs, config, ... }`` and
-returns an attrset with keys ``imports, options config``.
-
-* ``imports`` is a list of paths to the other modules required by this one
-
-* ``options`` is a nested set of option declarations
-
-* ``config`` is a nested set of option definitions
-
-The NixOS manual section `Writing NixOS Modules
-<https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-writing-modules>`_ is a
-quite comprehensive reference to writing NixOS modules, which is also
-mostly applicable to Liminix except that it doesn't cover
-service templates.
-
-Service templates
-=================
-
-To expose a service template in a module, it needs the following:
-
-* an option declaration for ``system.service.myservicename`` with the
-  type of ``liminix.lib.types.serviceDefn``
