This simplifies integrating a remote bitcoind instance and
makes `bitcoin-cli` work with the remote node.
Add note regarding `whitelistedPort` to docs.
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.
There is no security reason why pruning should be enabled and therefore it
surprises users. Turning on pruning in the first place was simply a mistake.
- `waitfornewblock` was previously not included in the public RPC
whitelist because it's reserved for testing and marked as hidden
in bitcoind.
- electrs changed its verbosity settings. `-vv` is now the best choice
for normal usage.
- bitcoind option `dataDirReadableByGroup` is now unused.
Because it can be valuable for other use cases and implementing
it is intricate, we're keeping it for now.
- test: keep `nc` connection open because otherwise the electrs
RPC server would now close the connection before sending a response.
- `discover` is automatically disabled by bitcoind because we're
setting `externalip` via the `nix-bitcoin.onionServices` mechanism
- `bech32` is bitcoind's default addresstype
NixOS option `security.hideProcessInformation` for globally restricting
access to /proc has been removed.
Use per-service restrictions via 'ProtectProc' instead.
Rename
`nix-bitcoin.security.hideProcessInformation` to
`nix-bitcoin.security.dbusHideProcessInformation`
because this option now only implements the dbus restriction.
- enable usage outside of secure-node.nix
- use json as the output format
- show ports
- also show local addresses, which is particularly useful when
netns-isolation is enabled
- only show enabled services
Move 'enforceTor' and onion-service definitions from secure-node.nix.
Use the onionServices module to define onion services.
Onion services now automatically work for services that bind to an INADDR_ANY (`0.0.0.0`) address.
The 'scudo' memory allocator set by the 'hardened' profile breaks some
services on 20.09.
The fix for NixOS unstable (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/104052)
is ineffective on 20.09.
As a workaround, add a custom 'hardened' preset that uses the default allocator.
- Remove redundant option mainchainrpchost.
This option is already provided by bitcoind.
- Set a working default for rpcport and rpcuser.
Enables use without secure-node.
