# NixOS integration
A NixOS machine will automatically import all secrets that are encrypted for the
current machine. At runtime it will use the host key to decrypt all secrets into
a in-memory, non-persistent filesystem using
[sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix). In your nixos configuration you
can get a path to secrets like this `config.sops.secrets.<name>.path`. Example:
```nix
{ config, ...}: {
sops.secrets.my-password.neededForUsers = true;
users.users.mic92 = {
isNormalUser = true;
passwordFile = config.sops.secrets.my-password.path;
};
}
```
See the [readme](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix) of sops-nix for more
examples.
# Importing existing sops-based keys / sops-nix
`clan secrets` stores each secrets in a single file, whereas [sops](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix)
commonly allows to put all secrets in a yaml or json documents.
If you already happend to use sops-nix, you can migrate by using the `clan secrets import-sops` command by importing these documents:
```console
% clan secrets import-sops --prefix matchbox- --group admins --machine matchbox nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml
```
This will create secrets for each secret found in `nixos/matchbox/secrets/secrets.yaml` in a ./sops folder of your repository.
Each member of the group `admins` will be able
Since our clan secret module will auto-import secrets that are encrypted for a particular nixos machine,
you can now remove `sops.secrets.<secrets> = { };` unless you need to specify more options for the secret like owner/group of the secret file.
