I tried putting it in the package and it doesn't seem to be picking it up.

      colmena = {
        meta = {
          # Figure out the default nixpkgs to use for each node.
          nixpkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
            system = "x86_64-linux";
            config.permittedInsecurePackages = insecure-packages;
          };

Putting it as config. in various places get the error where you can't configure a setting and a service in the same (unknown boot or services depending on where).

get the error where you can't configure a setting and a service in the same (unknown boot or services depending on where).

I'm not sure what that means

I'm not sure what that means

config.permittedInsecurePackages = ["dotnet-sdk-6.0.428"];

       error: Module `:anon-1766:anon-1' has an unsupported attribute `boot'. This is caused by introducing a top-level `config' or `options' attribute. Add configuration attributes immediately on the top level instead, or move all of them (namely: boot deployment environment networking services sops system time) into the explicit `config' attribute.

nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = ["dotnet-sdk-6.0.428"];

Alright, I see. The This is caused by introducing a top-level config' or options' attribute. issue is because you misunderstood me, I'll try to be a bit more clear.

When you're importing / calling nixpkgs explicitly, its options are under an argument called config. In full, import nixpkgs { config = { permittedInsecurePackages = ... } };.

However, when you're configuring nixpkgs in a modular way through the NixOS machine config, then that same thing is nested under nixpkgs, e.g. the option to set is nixpkgs.config. In full, nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = { ... }. https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=24.11&show=nixpkgs.config&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=nixpkgs.config

In the context of a NixOS configuration module, config refers to the system configuration itself.
