Spiped

services.spiped.config

Configuration for a secure pipe daemon. The daemon can be started, stopped, or examined using systemctl, under the name spiped@foo.

Type: attribute set of (submodule)

Default

{ }

Example

{pipe1 ={ keyfile = "/var/lib/spiped/pipe1.key";encrypt = true;source = "localhost:6000";target = "endpoint.example.com:7000";};pipe2 ={ keyfile = "/var/lib/spiped/pipe2.key";decrypt = true;source = "0.0.0.0:7000";target = "localhost:3000";};}

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.decrypt

Take encrypted connections from the source socket and send unencrypted connections to the target socket.

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.disableKeepalives

Disable transport layer keep-alives. Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.disableReresolution

Disable target address re-resolution. Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.encrypt

Take unencrypted connections from the source socket and send encrypted connections to the target socket.

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.keyfile

Name of a file containing the spiped key. As the daemon runs as the spiped user, the key file must be readable by that user. To securely manage the file within your configuration consider a tool such as agenix or sops-nix.

Type: path

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.maxConns

Limit on the number of simultaneous connections allowed.

Type: signed integer

Default

100

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.resolveRefresh

Resolution refresh time for the target socket, in seconds.

Type: signed integer

Default

60

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.source

Address on which spiped should listen for incoming connections. Must be in one of the following formats: /absolute/path/to/unix/socket, host.name:port, [ip.v4.ad.dr]:port or [ipv6::addr]:port - note that hostnames are resolved when spiped is launched and are not re-resolved later; thus if DNS entries change spiped will continue to connect to the expired address.

Type: string

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.target

Address to which spiped should connect. Type: string

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.timeout

Timeout, in seconds, after which an attempt to connect to the target or a protocol handshake will be aborted (and the connection dropped) if not completed

Type: signed integer

Default

5

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.waitForDNS

Wait for DNS. Normally when spiped is launched it resolves addresses and binds to its source socket before the parent process returns; with this option it will daemonize first and retry failed DNS lookups until they succeed. This allows spiped to launch even if DNS isn't set up yet, but at the expense of losing the guarantee that once spiped has finished launching it will be ready to create pipes.

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.config.<name>.weakHandshake

Use fast/weak handshaking: This reduces the CPU time spent in the initial connection setup, at the expense of losing perfect forward secrecy.

Type: boolean

Default

false

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/networking/spiped.nix

services.spiped.enable

Enable the spiped service module. Type: boolean

Default

false
