Last good Nixpkgs for Weston+nouveau? archive
I came this commit hash to terwiz[m] on IRC, who is trying to figure out
what the last version of Spectrum that worked on their NUC with Nvidia
graphics is.

+  <title>LUKS-Encrypted File Systems</title>
+  <para>
+    NixOS supports file systems that are encrypted using
+    <emphasis>LUKS</emphasis> (Linux Unified Key Setup). For example,
+    here is how you create an encrypted Ext4 file system on the device
+    <literal>/dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d</literal>:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting>
+# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d
+
+WARNING!
+========
+This will overwrite data on /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d irrevocably.
+
+Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
+Enter LUKS passphrase: ***
+Verify passphrase: ***

+# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d crypted
+Enter passphrase for /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d: ***

+# mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/crypted
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    The LUKS volume should be automatically picked up by
+    <literal>nixos-generate-config</literal>, but you might want to
+    verify that your <literal>hardware-configuration.nix</literal> looks
+    correct. To manually ensure that the system is automatically mounted
+    at boot time as <literal>/</literal>, add the following to
+    <literal>configuration.nix</literal>:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = &quot;/dev/disk/by-uuid/3f6b0024-3a44-4fde-a43a-767b872abe5d&quot;;
+fileSystems.&quot;/&quot;.device = &quot;/dev/mapper/crypted&quot;;
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    Should grub be used as bootloader, and <literal>/boot</literal> is
+    located on an encrypted partition, it is necessary to add the

+    <para>
+      NixOS also supports unlocking your LUKS-Encrypted file system
+      using a FIDO2 compatible token. In the following example, we will
+      create a new FIDO2 credential and add it as a new key to our
+      existing device <literal>/dev/sda2</literal>:
+    </para>
