NixOS module for declaratively managing non-volatile system state on ephemeral root filesystems, without relying on interpreter-based scripts.
Why you might care
Aimed at NixOS users running impermanence-style setups who want state persistence handled declaratively. It is inspired by the impermanence project but is not a drop-in replacement, and it targets interpreter-less operation. The README says it tracks nixos-unstable compatibility.
