The `nix` command is an experimental feature and should be avoided in
user-facing code.
I recently saw `nix eval` failing for a user who was asking for help
via Matrix.
- Move section `updating` from `usage.md` to `configuration.md` and
rename `usage.md` -> `services.md`.
`services.md` documents how enable and interact with node services.
- README: Move `docs` below `Get started`. The `docs` section is short and
should be easily accessible.
This is simpler and more memory-efficient.
We've also changed other services to use this appraoch.
Also remove unneded `wait_for_unit` in the electrs regtest test.
Split `enforceTor` into `tor.proxy` and `tor.enforce`.
By enabling `tor.proxy` without `tor.enforce`, a service can accept
incoming clearnet connections.
E.g., this allows setting up a Tor-proxied bitcoind node that accepts
RPC connections from LAN.
When NixOS is already running and Tor is restarted due to config
changes, `/var/lib/tor/state` may be present even when Tor has not
yet finished setting up onion services.
This caused the previous version of `onion-addresses` to not wait for
Tor and to skip not yet present onion service files.
`onion-addresses` now waits until each required onion service file
has appeared.
The latest nixpkgs-unstable update would require node-based packages to
distinguish between stable and unstable when building. Instead of dealing with
that complexity, we will only guarantee compatability of our packages with
stable.
btcpayserver: 1.3.3 -> 1.3.6
electrs: 0.9.2 -> 0.9.3
lnd: 0.13.3-beta -> 0.14.1-beta
nbxplorer: 2.2.16 -> 2.2.18
electrs does not accept command line argument -vv anymore, so we have to use
--log-filter instead.

- Improves readability
- `netns exec ...` (called via `netnsIptables`) incurs a large
overhead: In addition to netns switching, a mount namespace
is setup and populated with the contents of /etc/netns/<ns>/.
Instead, simply run `nsenter`.
Previously, restarting a service implied restarting its netns.
For unknown reasons, this sometimes caused the netns-local address
to not be routable from the root netns for up to 20 s.
I.e., the service was sometimes unreachable after restarting.
Now the netns is no longer stopped when the service is stopped.
- import pkgs without the global config to avoid pulling in external state
- rename `path` -> `setPath`
- export `nixpkgsUnstable`
This avoids garbage collection of nixpkgs-unstable for gcrooted
shell environments (like those created by lorri)
- The message is now a nix string, which simplifies formatting.
- The message can be now be modified via overrideAttrs in client shells.
This is more effective than changing the message in Bash.
Otherwise liquidd startup fails. This bug was not covered by our tests,
because we're not combining `regtest` with `secure-node`.
But nixbitcoin.org does, which should suffice for now.
This simplifies the host's address configuration.
This also removes unused addresses that are returned when resolving
container hostnames via nss-mymachines:
`getent ahosts nb-test`
