==== Use agenix secrets in container ====
To add <code>agenix</code> secrets to a container bind mount the <code>ssh-host.key</code> and import the <code>agenix.nixosModule</code> and set <code>age.identityPaths</code> [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/secrets-inside-nixos-containers/34403/6 Source]<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{ agenix, ... }:
{
  containers."withSecret" = {
    # pass the private key to the container for agenix to decrypt the secret
    bindMounts."/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key".isReadOnly = true;
    config =
      {
        config,
        lib,
        pkgs,
        ...
      }:
      {
        imports = [ agenix.nixosModules.default ]; # import agenix-module into the nixos-container
        age.identityPaths = [ "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key" ]; # isn't set automatically when openssh is not setup
        # import the secret
        age.secrets."secret-name" = {
