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.
