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 available on my website. There is also a nix-secrets-reference repository that can be used in conjunction with the article.
