Why you don't need flake-utils
My server's repo and my dotfiles both use flake-parts, and you can do a github-grep to look for more.

NixOS: Creating the same system across multiple devices
For example these are my shared files between systems: https://github.com/viperML/dotfiles/tree/master/modules and host-specific config https://github.com/viperML/dotfiles/tree/master/hosts/gen6

Configuring Channels Passed to _module.args of a Flake without Flake-Utils-Plus?
i have no idea why its like this in the first place, since i largely followed the flake here and only really rebuilt like this recently.

NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS
I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!

How do you set git in order to clone from private repo?
I don't think system.autoUpgrade will work at all with flakes since you'd need to update your flake lock file for anything to get updated. I've seen a way to do that automatically with github actions here.
