#### `age.identityPaths`
`age.identityPaths` is a list of paths to recipient keys to try to use
to decrypt the secrets. All of the file paths must be present, but
only one needs to be able to decrypt the secret. Usually, you don't
need to change this. By default, this is the `rsa` and `ed25519` keys
in `config.services.openssh.hostKeys`.

`age.identityPaths` is a list of paths to recipient keys to try to use to

change this. The list items should be strings (`"/path/to/id_rsa"`), not
nix paths (`../path/to/id_rsa`), as the latter would copy your private key to
the nix store, which is the exact situation `agenix` is designed to avoid. At
least one of the file paths must be present at runtime and able to decrypt the
secret in question. Overriding `age.identityPaths` example:
