**Note:** If you are using Impermanence, you must set `sops.age.keyFile` to a keyfile inside your persist directory or it will not exist at boot time.
For example: `/nix/persist/var/lib/sops-nix/key.txt`
Similarly if ssh host keys are used instead, they also need to be placed inside the persisted storage.
**Note:** If you are using Impermanence, the key used for secret decryption (`sops.age.keyFile`, or the host SSH keys) must be in a persisted directory,
loaded early enough during boot. For example:

```nix
sops.age.keyFile = "/nix/persist/var/lib/sops-nix/key.txt";
```

or:

```nix
fileSystems."/etc/ssh".neededForBoot = true;
```
