Research lockss.xml values: what are the defaults, which are required?

Presumably this is well defined in the LOCKSS source, hopefully in one central location.

I found this URL:

http://www.lockss.org/lockssdoc/gamma/daemon/paramdoc.html

listed within the "How to setup a Private LOCKSS Network (PLN)" guide from 2018. Attempting to view the URL results in the connection timing out.

Has:

The daemon's configuration parameters are
<a href="paramdoc.txt">listed here</a>
and <a href="paramdoc.html">documented here</a>.

This file also makes a reference to that URL:

  /** URL of parameter documentation page */
  public static final String PARAM_PARAM_DOC_URL =
    Configuration.PREFIX + "config.paramDocUrl";
  public static final String DEFAULT_PARAM_DOC_URL =
    "http://www.lockss.org/lockssdoc/gamma/daemon/paramdoc.html";

The second resulted in a redirection to the Wayback Machine's cache:

There are 1,593 entries in that file. That file is from 10 years ago, so I assume that the number of parameters has grown exponentially since then.

I short, there is no reasonable way that I can cover all of those myself unless I use that file as a lookup table somehow.

I heard back from LOCKSS Support. It sounds like the parameters docs links will be updated/fixed in the near future. For now they shared an internal copy of the docs which confirm that there are 884 total parameters.

No small number.

Unfortunately I don't see any notes indicating which settings are required. Instead, it seems you have to infer which settings are needed.

Note: Since I don't have confirmation of the license for the current parameters docs, I'm going to leave them out of the branch that I push to this repo for now.
