@jhillyerd:matrix.orgjhillyerdI think it makes sense to move the tutorial and reference to the docs site. It's good to have at least an overview of features, doc links and community info in the readme. Typically I'd also say how to "build" for developers, but that seems less relevant for agenix.17:39:19
@jhillyerd:matrix.orgjhillyerdREADMEs should not be long enough to require a table of contents in my opinion.17:40:04
@jhillyerd:matrix.orgjhillyerdOn the docs site, I think I'd combine intro, problem & solution, and perhaps also features into one page.17:41:33

@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenksIs agenix being actively maintained?21:57:54
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hYes; we even recently added another maintainer, so the bus factor is 3 people :)21:58:24
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenksYeah because I saw it was only updated 5 days ago on github21:59:07
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenks * Yeah because I saw it was only updated 5 days ago on github (commit)21:59:52

@whentze:matrix.orgWanja HentzeFrom personal experience I can attest that the maintainers respond quickly and are open to contributions :)10:10:36

Last commit is not a measure of maintenance
14:22:44
@whentze:matrix.orgWanja Hentzealso, 5 days ago is really recent 🤔 I consider anything within a few months "recent changes"14:54:23
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenksDoes agenix offer support for home manager?15:40:55
@cole-h:matrix.orgcole-hNo(t yet), see https://github.com/ryantm/agenix/issues/50 and https://github.com/ryantm/agenix/pull/109.15:41:38
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmSupporting home manager confuses me.15:43:14
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmEveryone keeps asking for it but it seems like a worthless thing.15:43:38
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmIf you are using it with NixOS, you can already use the agenix module at the NixOS level. If you are using it at the user level, it doesn't provide any security.15:46:38
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenksWhat would a home manager module mean? That I can use secrets inside home manager? Is that not possible already?15:49:16
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenks Maybe I do not get something here 15:49:28
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmThe only use case I understand is someone wants to publish their home manager config and doesn't want to share the secrets. Maybe that's enough to justify supporting it. I don't want to give people a false sense of security though...16:00:19

why wouldnt it provide any security?
16:02:02
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmThe user's clear text, encrypted secrets, and private key would all be in the same home directory.16:03:47
@dandellion:dodsorf.asDandellionowned by the user and not in the nix store though16:04:40
@ryantm:matrix.orgryantmYeah good point! I think I get it now.16:04:58
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenks

owned by the user and not in the nix store though
But why would you want that
16:34:36
@jayhenks:matrix.orgjayhenks I do Not really get it 16:34:44
@dandellion:dodsorf.asDandellionFor the same reasons as you want it for the system16:44:52
@dandellion:dodsorf.asDandellionI don't understand what's different16:45:06
