Certificates: Apache and similar have settings to tell it which certificates to use. You want to look at similar services like ssh/dovecot/... how it is done. I'm unsure. There are two choices: Either use a pre startup script to create them (eg mysqlinit or such gets used this way) - or allow user to set paths. Usually its nice if things "just work" which means generating certificates. Eg mysql does not populate time zone info (mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /etc/zoneinfo/ | mysql) should it be done? the MYSQL_TZ function requires it (otherwise it returns null) If nobody has a strong opnion just be the maintainer and make a choice ? Testing services see nixos/tests/* How to run? See nixos/release.nix or release-combined. nix-build -A tests.firwall -f release.nix or such. (I didn't run any test for a long time).
