+NixOS contains a source build package of pleroma and a NixOS module to install it.
+For installation add this to your configuration.nix and add a config.exs next to it:
+```nix
+  services.pleroma = {
+    enable = true;
+    configs = [ (lib.fileContents ./config.exs) ];
+    secretConfigFile = "/var/lib/pleroma/secret.exs";
+  };
+```
