Restarting/reloading systemd units on secret change
It is possible to restart or reload units when a secret changes or is newly initialized.

This behavior can be configured per-secret:

{
  sops.secrets."home-assistant-secrets.yaml" = {
    restartUnits = [ "home-assistant.service" ];
    # there is also `reloadUnits` which acts like a `reloadTrigger` in a NixOS systemd service
  };
}
