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 to handle secrets in NixOS (for Docker container and Systemd Services)?

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.

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
home-manager and nix: https://github.com/legendofmiracles/dotnix
This allows me to abstract logic easily, have it all modular and have everything be nix.

Raspberry Pi config for all things Internet
https://github.com/LegendOfMiracles/dotnix/tree/master/hosts... (bottom lines describe the remote build logic) this is the actual config of the pi... One other file also gets sourced: the defaults-nixos file in the root of the repo. And the distributed build host nix file describes creating a build user on my main machine.
The setup is mostly mirrored from https://sgt.hootr.club/molten-matter/nix-distributed-builds/

Can I see what packages have been updated?
Config is somewhere in HM/fish.nix :p https://github.com/legendofmiracles/dotnix
