    I've heard good things about and seen sops-nix used on a few really solid configs. Others tend to use Age or Homeage.

    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:

  • 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.

    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
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Mar 2022
    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
    3 projects | /r/NixOS | 7 Nov 2021
    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.

    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
