# EmergentMind's Nix-Config Starter STILL TESTING - if this line is still here this repo is still WIP for use even as a starter ## Table of Contents - [Secrets Management](#secrets-management) - [Support](#support) - [Guidance and Resources](#guidance-and-resources) - [Acknowledgements](#acknowledgements) --- Watch NixOS related videos on my [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Emergent_Mind). ## Secrets Management Secrets for this config are stored in a private repository called `nix-secrets` that is pulled in as a flake input and managed using the sops-nix tool. For details on how this is accomplished, how to approach different scenarios, and troubleshooting for some common hurdles, please see my article and accompanying YouTube video [NixOS Secrets Management](https://unmovedcentre.com/posts/secrets-management/) available on my website. There is also a [nix-secrets-reference](https://github.com/EmergentMind/nix-secrets-reference) repository that can be used in conjunction with the article. ## Support Sincere thanks to all of my generous supporters!
