This module provides a subset of features provided by the system-wide sops-nix since features like the creation of the ramfs and changing the owner of the secrets are not available for non-root users.

Instead of running as an activation script, sops-nix runs as a systemd user service called `sops-nix.service`.
And instead of decrypting to `/run/secrets`, the secrets are decrypted to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/secrets` that is located on a tmpfs or similar non-persistent filesystem.
And instead of decrypting to `/run/secrets`, the secrets are stored decrypted to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/secrets` that is located on a tmpfs or similar non-persistent filesystem. Additionally secrets are symlinked to the user home-directory in the `.secrets`-directory which is used as reference

  1. the secrets are stored decrypted to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/secrets

ls -l $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/secrets
"/run/user/1000/secrets": No such file or directory (os error 2)

Below it refers to "${config.xdg.configHome}/sops-nix/secrets"

  1. Additionally secrets are symlinked to the user home-directory in the .secrets-directory

Where exactly?

Sorry need to update this

  1. It's ls -l $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/secrets.d/ and there are folders like e.g. "1" which contains the actual secrets-files.

  2. this is a left-over from my first proposal and changed later:
    Correct is ~/.config/sops-nix/secrets - will PR soonTM

will PR soonTM (otherwise if you want/can feel free) 🙏🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻

for the `.path` value in nix. Because of that, the home-manager option `home.homeDirectory` is used to determinate the home-directory on evaluation,
this has to be set manually if home-manager is used standalone or on non NixOS systems.

Depending on whether you use home-manager system-wide or using a home.nix, you have to import it in a different way.
This example shows the `flake` approach from the recommended example [Install: Flakes (current recommendation)](#Flakes (current recommendation))
