Hello, The NixOS manual specifies 2 ways of installing packages, the declarative style through configuration.nix + nixos-rebuild switch, or the per-user style via `nix-env -i`.
While you can configure the package options inside configuration.nix, how does one configure packages when they are installed on a per-user style. For example if I install NGINX or PHP with `nix-env -i nginx` or `nix-env -i php`, I get NGINX and PHP on my particular `~/.nix-profile`. How do I change the configuration inside nginx.conf or php.ini or php-fpm.ini? There doesn't seem to be any way to do so. The `~/.nix-profile` is read-only. What if there was a per-user configuration.nix which was able to actually configure the packages, or maybe the options could be specified on the command line as part of `nix-env`. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be any way of effectively using complicated packages on a per-user basis such NGINX, Apache, PHP and every other package that requires configuration.
