Alright, looks like I was able to work around this by making agenix use a hash of the encrypted file as the file name:

age.secrets."my-secret" = {
  file = ./my-secret.age;
  name = builtins.hashFile "sha256" ./my-secret.age;
};
19:30:57
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZnot ideal, but seems to do the job for now!19:31:09
@lordkekz:matrix.orgLordKekzYeah.. but why do you need the container to rebuild? If it's just to make it restart on system activation, it should be possible to reload the systemd unit on activation somehow. Not sure which option you need tho.19:37:15
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZRestarting the container doesn't make it pick up new environment variables. It needs to be re-created.19:40:13
@lordkekz:matrix.orgLordKekzAh, I see. Then you the hash thing is probably as good as it gets19:43:42
@lordkekz:matrix.orgLordKekz * Ah, I see. Then the hash thing is probably as good as it gets19:43:51
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZYeah should be fine for now19:44:23
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZOnly "real issue" is that it's based on the hash of the encrypted contents and not the plain text contents, which means that the same source file re-encrypted without any changes will cause a re-creation.19:45:27
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZBut making it based on the plain text content also reveals that they haven't changed, which is also not great.19:45:52
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZSo you know, trade-offs.19:45:57
@lordkekz:matrix.orgLordKekzI think usually the re-creation is preferrable; it rebuilding the container doesn't cause a rebuild of the container image, right?19:48:51
@orfeasz:matrix.orgOrfeasZYe, it doesn't rebuild the image locally.19:49:35
