Support for declarative configuration in Nix is limited, and the solutions are somewhat fragmented. The only only configuration file officially associated with Nix is <code>nix.conf</code> (usually found in <code>/etc/nix/</code>), which defines a number of settings relating to how Nix, including build, garbage collection, sandboxing, and user permissions. Details on the available options are found in the [https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-conf-file|nix.conf section of the manual]. Since most scenarios involve using [[Nixpkgs]], configuration of <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</code> is often also helpful; here package overrides can be specified. | Support for declarative configuration in Nix is limited, and the solutions are somewhat fragmented.
