Adding Secrets with sops-nix

Secrets are stored in secrets/secrets.yaml. You can edit these secrets with sops secrets/secrets.yaml given you have an age private key stored at ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt.

To decrypt these secrets with sops-nix during a rebuild, you must add your host public key to the .sops.yaml file. Generate it with cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub | ssh-to-age, add it to the file, then run sops updatekeys secrets/secrets.yaml.
