+The NNTP group name for use with L<public-inbox-nntpd(8)>. This

+For example, the newsgroup for L<mailto:meta@public-inbox.org>
+is: C<inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta>

+This may be set after-the-fact via C<publicinbox.$NAME.newsgroup>

+Allow setting arbitrary configs as C<publicinbox.$NAME.$KEY>.

There is no automatic way to use reserved NNTP article numbers

+It can be useful to use a single shard (C<-j1>) for inboxes on
high-latency storage (e.g. rotational HDD) unless the system has
enough RAM to cache 5-10x the size of the git repository.
-It is generally not useful to specify higher values than the
-default due to contention in the top-level producer process.
+Another approach for HDDs is to use the
+L<public-inbox-index(1)/publicInbox.indexSequentialShard> option
+and many shards, so each shard may fit into the kernel page
+cache. Unfortunately, excessive shards slows down read-only
+query performance.
+
+For fast storage, it is generally not useful to specify higher
+values than the default due to the top-level producer process

-This tool predates NNTP support in public-inbox and is missing
-C<newsgroup> and many of the options documented in
-L<public-inbox-config(5)>. See L<public-inbox-config(5)> for all the
-options which may be applied to a given inbox.
+Some of the options documented in L<public-inbox-config(5)>
+require editing the config file. Old versions lack the
+C<--ng>/C<--newsgroup> parameter
