Frequent Asked Questions

Q. Rebooting and unit failed with could not found ssh private key, but it indeed just there.

A. Check if using root on tmpfs, and modify hostKeys path to Absolute path string which your REAL private key located (not bind mounted or symlinked etc.). You could also choose setting needForBoot for your persist mountpoing. This could also fix similar issue happened with agenix and sops-nix.

Q. Why another secret management solution for NixOS?

A. Because I don't like Bash, which most solutions rely on. Plus, many lack templating features, and sops-nix feels too bloated for my needs.
