+Specify containers in the host's `configuration.nix`.
+
+```nix
+{
+	containers.foo = 
+	{
+		config = { config, pkgs ... }:
+		{
+			autoStart = true; # This will start the container automatically.
+			privateNetwork = true;
+			hostAddress = "192.168.100.10";
+			localAddress = "192.168.100.11";
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Running containers are updated in-place without rebooting.
+
+Declarative containers share the host's networking namespace by default, see above example on how to give it its own network.
+
+If the configuration is deleted from the host's config and the config is rebuilt the container will be disabled. This **does not** delete its root filesystem. To delete the root fs use the [[NixOS - Imperative container management]] method.
