# Wireless networks

## Rationale

* provision wifi SSIDs and passwords securely.
* build SD card images and live CDs with wifi credentials baked in.

## How it works

* encrypt wifi credentials in a secret
* expose a list of wifi networks
* add the networks to the machines with wireless enabled.
  * wifi credentials are only accessible to machines with wifi enabled

## How to enable it

* in the project
* in the machine's configuration

## Change the wifi networks

```bash theme={null}
nix run github:plmercereau/nicos -- secrets wifi
```
