## Under the hood ## Under the hood
- The `services-flake` module configures [process settings](https://community.flake.parts/process-compose-flake#usage) for a service. In simple terms, it handles stuff like health checks, restart policies, setup scripts, etc. by using the easy to configure APIs provided by `process-compose-flake`. - The `services-flake` module configures [process settings](https://community.flake.parts/process-compose-flake#usage) for a service. In simple terms, it handles stuff like health checks, restart policies, setup scripts, etc. by using the easy to configure APIs provided by `process-compose-flake`.
- The `process-compose-flake` module uses these settings to generate `packages.${system}.default`[^how-default] (`nix run` above, runs this package by default), which runs [process-compose](https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose) with the generated YAML configuration[^sample-config]. - The `process-compose-flake` module uses these settings to generate `packages.${system}.myservices`[^how-default] (`nix run .#myservices` above, [runs](https://nixos.asia/en/nix-first#run) this package by default), which runs [process-compose](https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose) with the generated YAML configuration[^sample-config].
[^how-default]: `default` is the name of the process group that is derived from `process-compose.<name>` in `perSystem.process-compose`. [^how-default]: `myservices` is the name of the process group that is derived from `process-compose.<name>` in `perSystem.process-compose`.
