 By default infra-rebuild tries to use the FQDN from the nixosConfiguration of the host for deployment.
 However to override individual parts of the deployment target, a [`deployment_configuration.json`](./deployment_configuration.json) can be used.
 This is exactly what we're doing to set the default deployment user to `colmena-deploy` and have custom target hostnames for Chaosknoten hosts, since they don't have an FQDN defined in their nixosConfiguration.

-## Setting up secrets with sops-nix for a host
-
-1. Convert the hosts SSH host public key to an age public key.
-   This can be done by connecting to the host and running:
-   ```
-   cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub | ssh-to-age
-   ``` 
-2. Add the resulting age public key to the `.sops.yaml` as a YAML anchor in keys.
-   It should be named something like: `host_age_hostname`
-3. Add a new creation rule for the hosts config directory.
-   It should probably have all admin keys and the hosts age key. \
-   You can use existing creation rules as a reference.
-4. Create a file containing the relevant secrets in the hosts config directory.
-   This can be accomplished with a command similar to this:
-   ```
-   sops config/hosts/hostname/secrets.yaml
-   ```
-   Note: Nested keys don't seem to be compatible with sops-nix.
-5. Add the following entry to the modules of the hosts `nixosConfiguration`:
-   ```
-   sops-nix.nixosModules.sops
-   ```
-6. Create a `sops.nix` in the hosts config directory containing the following content to include the `secrets.yaml`:
-   ```
-   { ... }:
-
-   {
-     sops = {
-       defaultSopsFile = ./secrets.yaml;
-     };
-   }
-   ```
-7. Make sure the `sops.nix` gets imported. For example in the `default.nix`.
-8. To use a secret stored under e.g. `forgejo_git_smtp_password`, you can then do something like the following:
-   ```
-   sops.secrets."forgejo_git_smtp_password" = {
-     mode = "0440";
-     owner = "forgejo";
-     group = "forgejo";
-     restartUnits = [ "forgejo.service" ];
-   };
-   ```
