Show me the way to cloud infra
For applications, I think environment variables are great. Especially if you adopt nomad because you could also use vault to populate secrets in. For machines that won't work so you'll need something else like https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix

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.

Nix way to recreate environments including authentication, configuration, etc?
You can use something like sops-nix if you're on NixOS https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix.

Building a highly optimized home environment with Nix
Yeah, I don't know how to manage secrets yet. I've read about sops-nix, but I don't have the slightest clue how to integrate it into my own nix-config.

What would make NixOS more secure?
I use sops-nix for that. Secrets are stored encrypted in the store, and decrypted at runtime.
-
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.

How do you manage your private keys?
So, I did some digging. According to the first Dicourse chat that popped up, it's "not possible". That's not an acceptable answer for me ;). I read through HM's appendix to see if there's a mention of private keys there (there weren't). I also know of SOPS (and sops-nix), but that seems to require an SSH/GPG key to decrypt :D.

A guide to build a Raspberry Pi cluster managed by NixOps
If you only need secrets management, there are quite a lot of bolt-on solutions with little overhead which are also agnostic to the form of deployment, like https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix or https://github.com/ryantm/agenix. Personally for my machines I want unattended reboots, so I just copy all keys to the hard disk and manage secrets solely with file permissions.

Nim packages stats
But take a look at devshell is like the NixOS/HomeManager of your (any language) project. I over abused it to create YAML files and to use Nim as script

Here's an example with devShell as a remote repository: sh nix-shell -p '(import (fetchGit "https://github.com/numtide/devshell") {}).cli'
