+# kops (krebs ops)
+
+kops is a lightweigt toolkit to deploy nixos systems, remotely or locally.
+
+fancy features include:
+- store your secrets in passwordstore
+- build your system remotely
+- minimal overhead
+- run from custom nixpkgs branch/checkout/fork
+
+minimal example:
+
+create a kops.nix somewhere
+```
+let
+  kops = (import <nixpkgs> {}).fetchgit {
+    url = https://cgit.krebsco.de/kops/;
