 ### My Nix files, now organized in a flake.
 
-TODO: Documentation
+Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* configs!
+While this is primarily organized for my use only, you may find each individual service file or user config to be a good starting point, or something to take and adapt into your own config.
 
-To unlock secrets, use this command:
-``
-gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --decrypt local.key.asc | git-crypt unlock -
-``
+#### Installation
+Installing any of my flakes onto a system should be done after any initial install. I would opt to do a minimal install, but this is up to you.
+After installing NixOS, backup your hardware-config.nix file, so you can adapt it to fit the format of ``nixos/hardware/machines``, then adjusting the other referenced files in the flake.nix file to reference your specific computer.
+
+An initial install will have to be ran as ``nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/.#HOSTNAME``, where HOSTNAME is a hostname defined in your flake. You may also have to enable "experimental" features with a flag, such as nix-command and flakes.
+Home-Manager is handled separately, despite being in the same folder. A rebuild of a user's home would have to be done with ``home-manager switch --flake /etc/nixos``. This will pull the config as defined in the flake as ``USER@HOSTNAME``, where USER is the user running the ``home-manager`` command.
+
+My config heavily references a gnupg-protected secrets file. These will have to be adapted and rewritten if anyone is to use my config for themselves.
+
+For my use, to unlock secrets, use this command:
+``gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --decrypt local.key.asc | git-crypt unlock -``
 
 Made with love ❤️
