There are three places Nix is documented — the public docs-site, packaging/nix/
README.md, and packaging/README.md — plus the changelog. All had drifted.
STALE CLAIM, and not only for Nix. install.md said the plugin runner's "user unit
ships **disabled** — enable it once you have" something to run. That is true only
of Arch and source installs: the deb postinst and RPM %post both
`systemctl --global enable punktfunk-scripting.service`, and the Bazzite sysext
bakes in a default.target.wants symlink (build-sysext.sh:113). bazzite.md carried
the same claim about its own image. Both corrected, per channel, with the reason
the default flipped — the library scanners are plugins, so a host without the
runner can come up with an empty library — and the `mask`-not-`disable` opt-out
the sysext's own comment documents.
docs-site:
* install.md NixOS — `desktopSession` in the example and explained, the runner
no longer needs enabling, and the host/console line says what autoStart does.
* running-as-a-service.md — "Restart the host with your desktop" documented the
drop-in for packaged installs only; NixOS gets its one-liner beside it.
* bazzite.md — the runner is started for you, not "isn't started".
packaging/nix/README.md:
* option tables gain `desktopSession`, `gamescopeHdr`, `gamescopePackage`, and
the `punktfunk` group next to `input` (both are required — the udev rule
chgrp's the vhci nodes and fails outright if the group was never created).
* "what the module configures" gains the security.wrappers entry, and a note on
why the capability sits on the encode worker and never on the host: a wrapper
raises it into the ambient set, which lands it in the permitted set and fails
KWin's /proc/<pid>/exe readlink identically to a file capability.
* the appliance snippet no longer tells you to put pkgs.gamescope on PATH —
gamescopeHdr does that with the patched build, and desktopSession is called
out as the thing to leave off there.
* a caveat recording that `nix flake check` does not check the module, and the
two rules for editing module-check.nix (assertions stay pure Nix; assert
list-valued unit fields on the lists, not the rendered text).
packaging/README.md: the flake ships five packages, not "host + client".
CHANGELOG.md v0.27.0: a NixOS section covering the comm/session-detection fix, the
module changes including the scripting default flip as an explicit behaviour
change, and the flake-check gap — plus the documentation bullets above.
punktfunk-docs
The Punktfunk documentation site: Fumadocs on TanStack Start (Vite + Nitro/bun preset).
Content lives in content/docs/ as .md/.mdx. This site is the source of truth
for the user-facing guides; design rationale lives in the internal punktfunk-planning repo.
API reference
/api renders the host's management REST API as an interactive
Scalar reference (linked from the top nav, the docs
sidebar, and the landing page). It reads public/openapi.json — a
snapshot of the repo's generated spec. Refresh it after a management-API change:
# from the repo root — regenerate the spec, then copy the snapshot in:
cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi > api/openapi.json
cp api/openapi.json docs-site/public/openapi.json
Nothing in CI diffs the two, so the snapshot goes stale silently — that manual cp is the only
thing keeping them in sync. Before publishing docs, check that they match:
diff <(jq -S . api/openapi.json) <(jq -S . docs-site/public/openapi.json)
That should print nothing. Right now it doesn't: the committed snapshot predates the
/api/v1/update/check, /api/v1/update/apply and /api/v1/update/status endpoints, so the
published /api reference is missing the host self-update surface — re-copy it.
Develop
bun install
bun run dev # http://localhost:3001 (docs at /docs)
CI gates every change on bun run build followed by bun run lint (the TypeScript typecheck), in
that order — the build emits the .source typegen the typecheck imports. Run both before you push.
Build & serve
bun run build
bun run start # serves .output/ via Bun
