nix-bitcoin is archived and no longer receives security fixes. Provide a maintained upstream path for reproducible builds and declarative NixOS deployment. The flake pins Nixpkgs and exports a package and NixOS module. The package builds the server and CLI, takes its version from Cargo, and installs shell completions. The module creates a service, user, configuration, state directory, and optional firewall ports for each named instance. The documentation covers local builds, deployment, secrets, and multiple instances. Generated with OpenAI Codex.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
So far we took the stance that we shouldn't add distro or build system specific code to the repo (mod. docker files, maybe) (see #68 (review) for instance). Adding such files will add to the maintenance burden so we should be careful what we commit to supporting.
Do you think it makes sense to officially support this? Or should it just be a separate repo you maintain?
