This post will cover all the documentation I can find about NixOS, and will be continuously edited when I get the time. Primarily, the intent will about _doing things_ with NixOS and _understanding_ them; thus, various points in the post will link to various others.

Thanks and enjoy!

https://elis.nu/blog/2019/08/encrypted-zfs-mirror-with-mirrored-boot-on-nixos/

This covers how to encrypt your NixOS ZFS mirror and mirror the booting so if one drive fails, you can seamlessly boot into the other drive. I personally use this on my laptop! Note: It uses Grub instead of Systemd-boot, and as far as I’m aware, systemd-boot doesn’t support mirrored booting _yet_.
