+# vspd options
+
+`vspd` uses rpc credentials, so it's recommended to secure your secrets using a tool like [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix).
+
+## sops-nix
+
+Render `vspd.conf` with `sops-nix` and point the service at it. Example:
+
+```nix
+{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
+{
+  # Define credentials as secrets
+  sops.secrets."vspd/adminpass" = {};
+  sops.secrets."dcrwallet/rpcpass" = {};
+
+  # Render vspd.conf owned by the vspd service user/group
+  sops.templates."vspd.conf" = {
+    owner = config.services.vspd.user;
+    group = config.services.vspd.group;
+    mode = "0440";
+    restartUnits = [ "vspd.service" ];
+    content = ''
+      [Application Options]
+      network = mainnet
+      
+      # Web server
+      listen = 0.0.0.0:8800

+      dcrduser = myusername
+      dcrdpass = ${config.sops.placeholder."dcrwallet/rpcpass"}
+      dcrdcert = /var/lib/dcrd/rpc.cert
+      
+      # dcrwallet connections
+      # Multiple wallets are comma-separated
+      wallethost = 10.0.0.1:9110,10.0.0.2:9110,10.0.0.3:9110

+      walletcert = /var/lib/vspd/wallet1.cert,/var/lib/vspd/wallet2.cert,/var/lib/vspd/wallet3.cert
+    '';
+  };
+
+  # Ensure vspd only starts when the config exists
+  systemd.services.vspd.unitConfig.ConditionPathExists =
+    config.sops.templates."vspd.conf".path;
+
+  # Point the module to the rendered config
+  services.vspd = {
+    enable = true;
+    configFile = config.sops.templates."vspd.conf".path;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- `vspd` expects its configuration file to be named `vspd.conf` and located in its home directory. The NixOS module handles this by symlinking the file provided in `configFile` to `/var/lib/vspd/vspd.conf` on startup.
+- `vspd` requires access to the `rpc.cert` files for both `dcrd` and all voting `dcrwallet` instances. Ensure permissions are set correctly so the `vspd` user can read them.
+- `vspd` periodically writes a backup of its database to `{homedir}/data/{network}/vspd.db-backup`.
+Ensure this file is backed up regularly.
