LXC hosts (device busy fix):
modules/platforms/lxc.nix now imports nixpkgs' own
virtualisation/proxmox-lxc.nix, giving every lxc-* host a real
config.system.build.tarball output — a directly `pct restore`-able
Proxmox container image. This is the actual bug fix behind the
"cannot remove real root directory: device busy or in use" error:
lxc-* targets were only reachable through nixos-install, which
bind-mounts / onto /mnt for containers (no raw disk to partition)
and then correctly refuses to modify the filesystem it's currently
running on. auto-install.sh's menu now excludes lxc-* targets
entirely (they deploy via nix build + pct restore instead, see
docs/auto-installer.md) — and, on the same reasoning, also excludes
`installer`/`proxmox-lxc`, which are the installer image's own flake
targets, not deployable hosts.
manageHostName = true keeps host.nix's declared hostnames (upstream's
default would let Proxmox's ambient container config win instead);
privileged = false matches how these containers are actually created.
Eval warnings, now zero across all 19 nixosConfigurations + 4 packages:
- Multiple password options (root/nixos in the installer): nixpkgs'
own installer profile sets initialHashedPassword = "" for
passwordless login, conflicting with our explicit hashedPassword.
Force-nulled the upstream option rather than adopting passwordless
login, since this image now also boots over LAN PXE with
PasswordAuthentication enabled.
- boot.zfs.forceImportRoot default value: set explicitly to false
(matching the two places that already did) in
modules/common/configuration.nix and modules/installer/common.nix,
covering every host and the installer alike.
- Deprecated pkgs.system in modules/build-types/gui.nix: switched to
pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system.
All confirmed non-behavioral where it matters: unrelated hosts'
drvPaths are byte-identical to their pre-existing baselines throughout.

Zero W20 (repeated attribute keys), W10 (empty { ... }: variadic
pattern, use _: instead), and W04 (a = x.a instead of inherit)
warnings remain anywhere in the tree, and nixpkgs-fmt --check is
clean on all 46 .nix files.
Repeated-key merges go as deep as statix actually flags per file
(e.g. boot.loader.* nested under boot.loader = { ... } once the
outer boot.* merge exposed it as its own repeat) — every merge is a
pure attribute-path restructuring with no value changes, verified by
comparing config.system.build.toplevel.drvPath before/after for a
representative host per changed module plus a full 19-host + 4-package
eval sweep.
One indentation slip caught and fixed during this pass: nesting
modules/installer/common.nix's environment.etc."auto-install.sh".text
under an environment = { ... } block initially normalized the
script's shebang/set line indentation, which actually changes the
rendered file (Nix's '' string dedent treats it as real content, not
cosmetic whitespace) — reproduced the original's exact indentation
and reverified the rendered script is byte-identical to before.
modules/services/zfs/auto-mount-volumes.nix picked up formatting too;
worth noting it isn't imported by anything in this flake at all.

Several single-purpose modules sat at modules/ root or in the
services/ catch-all despite the repo's established pattern of one
directory per concern (tailscale/, beszel/, docker/, nix-cache/):
- remote-builder-client.nix -> nix-cache/ (always co-included with
nix-cache/client.nix in flake.nix's mkTarget, same buildType guard)
- set-locale.nix -> common/ (unconditionally imported by
common/configuration.nix already)
- enable-ip-forwarding.nix -> networking/
- rotate-traefik-logs.nix -> traefik/rotate-logs.nix
- services/docker-health-to-gotify.nix and services/nextcloud-cron-job.nix
-> docker/ (both only ever imported by the docker build type, same
as the rest of modules/docker/*)
Pure path moves plus import-path updates in flake.nix,
common/configuration.nix, and build-types/docker.nix — verified
eval-equivalent (drvPath-identical) across representative hosts.

One file (variables.nix) holding every value that was previously
hardcoded and repeated across modules: LAN domain/CIDR, home/tailnet
domains, cross-host references (nix-cache substituter hostname, NFS
server hostname, remote-builder user), PXE/PBS IPs, timezone, and the
primary username.
Wired in via flake.nix's specialArgs (and home-manager's
extraSpecialArgs for the two home.nix files), so any module picks it
up by just adding `vars` to its function arguments — no explicit
import needed. Two hosts (nix-cache, server) now derive their own
networking.hostName from the same variable other hosts use to reach
them, so there's exactly one place to change either identifier.
Purely mechanical: every substituted value matches what was already
there, confirmed by identical toplevel .drv paths for all 17 targets
before and after.

Audited the working tree and full git history for committed secrets
(gitleaks + trufflehog + manual grep, see secrets-inventory.md, kept
local/gitignored per the spec). Found: a password hash shared by root
and the nixos user across every host, two live Beszel monitoring
tokens, and a GitHub fine-grained PAT embedded in a home-manager
nix.conf.
Migrates all of them to sops-nix:
- .sops.yaml + secrets/*.yaml, encrypted for admin + the age keys
derived (via ssh-to-age) from each live host's existing SSH host
key — no new key material transferred to any machine.
- users.users.{root,nixos}.hashedPasswordFile replaces the inline
hashedPassword shared by every target.
- The GitHub PAT moves from a home-manager-managed, store-visible
nix.conf to a sops.templates-rendered file included via nix.conf's
native !include, system-wide instead of per-user.
- Beszel TOKEN moves from `environment` (store-visible) to
`environmentFile` (runtime-only via sops.templates); the dead
commented-out docker token is removed from the tree entirely.
Added a tracked pre-commit hook (gitleaks protect --staged, wired via
core.hooksPath) so a secret can't be committed by accident again, and
documented the sops workflow in README.md.
Structural verification only: all 17 flake targets evaluate, and
`nix build --dry-run --no-link` succeeds for the three currently
deployed hosts. Per CLAUDE.md, actual `nixos-rebuild switch` — the
step that confirms secrets decrypt and services start on a real
machine — is left for manual verification.
Git history still contains the original plaintext secrets; scrubbing
history (Milestone 3) and rotating every credential (Milestone 4) are
separate, deliberately gated steps per remove-sensetive-info-refactor.md.
