== Auto-mounting with udisks ==

[https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie udiskie], a {{nixos:option|udisks2}} front-end that allows to manage removable media can be used. To enable automounting, first enable udisks2:

{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|3=services.udisks2.enable = true;}}

Next enable udiskie via [[Home Manager]]:

{{file|~/.config/home-manager/home.nix|nix|3=
services.udiskie = {
    enable = true;
    settings = {
        # workaround for
        # https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/632
        program_options = {
            # replace with your favorite file manager
            file_manager = "${pkgs.nemo-with-extensions}/bin/nemo";
        };
    };
};
}}

Once the configurations are reflected, USB storage devices will be instantly recognized when inserted without any additional operations needed.
