Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fish and nix develop question
I have a wrapper function that just maps to dev to make life easier: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/develop.fish

Possible to make a machine independent NixOS configuration/flake?
Never fully got it to work, so I just encrypt my secrets when I build my isos: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/actions/runs/5055636638/jobs/9072093945

Hardware configuration in nix flake dotfiles?
I have multiple files for each machine based on hostname. I have CI strip my config of all system specific information for general distribution. For reference: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots

Using current flake setup with WSL2
I build a wsl image: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/nix/machines/wsl.nix
- Diving straight into flakes with no channels?

how to store secrets needed at install time
What I do: Keep secrets in a separate git repo as a flake, and have a stub flake, that can be overridden: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/tree/template/nix/spoof

(maybe) ex arch user need some help to understand
I have a script that will symlink my dotfiles in (github:dmadisetti/.dots/setup.sh), because you also end up with weird RO permissions if you do it through Nix. I think this is fine. It also means that you aren't stuck with Nix
-
Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
The way I manage multiple systems is with a wrapper: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/dot/config/fish/functions/snix.fish

Arch user, convince me to hop to Nix
The only thing that is semi manual is setting up disks on first install (something you'd still have to do with arch). You can still script that: https://github.com/dmadisetti/.dots/blob/template/scripts/run-install.nix.sh

password manager solution advice
How about: https://github.com/ryantm/agenix

how to store secrets needed at install time
I've heard good things about and seen sops-nix used on a few really solid configs. Others tend to use Age or Homeage.

Ask HN: A Better Docker Compose?
I don't have a write-up, just my code in git. But it's not public. I'm not using anything out of the ordinary - Nix containers, modules, and functions, and the Agenix module with uses a private key to decrypt secrets at start. The Nix language is inherently composable. Here are some links that explain:
Containers:

Modules:

ridiculously easy mail server setup with NixOS
For passwords I am using agenix which is also pretty awesome, an alternative could have been sops.nix.

NixOS for Apt/Yum Users: a Gift That Keeps on Giving
Alternatively, you could simply add the wireless connection files to the Networkmanager dir in /etc using environment.etc. Though keep in mind that any file declared in your config is readable by any user in your system. agenix would be the solution to that.
-
What to do...
One think I saw that I don't recommend is to change your password after installing; that's not very reporoducible, use users.users..hashedPassword or users.users..passwordFile with agenix or sops-nix.

Understanding nixos secrets management/aws configuration
Answering your broader question (secret management) colmena does that for me outside the Nix store. I also use git-crypt to store secrets in the repo. There are also more Nix-y alternatives like agenix.

If you’re not using SSH certificates you’re doing SSH wrong
I feel that trying to make SSH keys short-lived is becoming more painful each year because there's an increase of tools that use SSH keys for purposes other than SSH logins. For example, age [1] encrypts files with SSH keys, agenix [2] does secrets management with it, Git can now sign commits with it [3], and even ssh-keygen can now sign arbitrary data [4]. All of these become useless the moment you start using short-lived keys.

homeage: declarative runtime decrypted age secrets for home manager
I built this because I try to keep as much as possible outside of my system config but all of the secret managers I found were system only. I had no idea how to solve this until I found RaitoBezarius' awesome pull request to agenix where it all clicked. It also exposed me to the inner workings of home-manager which has definitely made me appreciate it more! I kept this separate from agenix because I am interested only in a module rather than a CLI and thus see it as having a different fit.

How do you manage your private keys?
I've been thinking about the same thing. I haven't gotten around to it yet but agenix looked the most promising to me so far
