NixService

One services.<name> block: the technical-configuration half of the model.

Note

Mirrors the two NixOS conventions:

  • enable - declared upstream with mkEnableOption.

  • arbitrary further options, including the RFC 42 settings freeform attribute set which maps onto the service’s own configuration file.

Option order is preserved so the emitted nix stays diff-stable between runs.
