+@defvr {Scheme Variable} opendht-service-type
+This is the type of the service running a @uref{https://opendht.net,
+OpenDHT} node, @command{dhtnode}.  The daemon can be used to host your
+own proxy service to the DHT, for example to connect to with Jami, among
+other applications.
+
+The value of this service is a @code{opendht-configuration} object, as
+described below.
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} opendht-configuration
+This is the data type for the OpenDHT service configuration.
+
+@c The fields documentation has been auto-generated using the
+@c configuration->documentation procedure from (gnu services
+@c configuration).
+@c TODO: Tweak the tool so that it generates doc that matches our
+@c current standard.
+Available @code{opendht-configuration} fields are:
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} package opendht
+The @code{opendht} package to use.

+Whether to enable the multicast local peer discovery mechanism.

+@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} boolean enable-logging?
+Whether to enable logging messages to syslog.  It is disabled by default
+as it is rather verbose.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} boolean debug?
+Whether to enable debug-level logging messages.  This has no effect if
+logging is disabled.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-string bootstrap-host
+The node host name that is used to make the first connection to the
+network.  A specific port value can be provided by appending the
+@code{:PORT} suffix.  By default, it uses the Jami bootstrap nodes, but
+any host can be specified here.  It's also possible to disable
+bootsrapping by setting this to the @code{'disabled} symbol.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"bootstrap.jami.net:4222"}.
+
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opendht-configuration} parameter} maybe-number port
+The UDP port to bind to.  When set to @code{'disabled}, an available
+port is automatically selected.
+
+Defaults to @samp{4222}.
+
+@end deftypevr
+
