# dotnix
## Prerequisites
You need to prepare a couple things before installation due to the way secrets are managed.
### Prepare secrets repo
1. Ensure all required dependencies are present
```sh
# If you're already using Nix you can simply run this
nix-shell -p sops age
```
2. Initialize your secrets repo. You can do this anywhere on your system except this repository.
```sh
mkdir secrets
cd secrets
git init
```
3. Create your gitignore. You want this to make sure that you do not accidentally push your private key.
```sh
echo "keys.txt" > .gitignore
```
4. Generate your private key.
```sh
age-keygen -o ./keys.txt
```
5. Create your sops configuration file
```sh
cat <<EOF > .sops.yaml
keys:
- &master $(age-keygen -y ./keys.txt)
creation_rules:
- path_regex: .*\.(yaml|json|env|ini)$
key_groups:
- age:
- *master
EOF
```
?. Update the submodule to use your repo
```sh
git submodule set-url -- secrets <ssh uri to your repository>
```
