Note: this home manager module can also run garbage collection systemd service. However it is only limited to user scope, unlike its NixOS sibling module. |

I assume this is coming from some NixOS module. It will not work on HM since it does not use the same option naming for systemd units.
I would suggest creating some test case that enables the nh-clean service and then tests the content of the generated unit files.

Thanks for the suggestions. Indeed this is coming from a NixOS module.
I am trying to recreate the following in Home Manager syntax. How do I set these? LOCALE_ARCHIVE, variable, for example. I am new to NixOS and Nix syntax.
The following is the content of nh-clean.service.
[Service]
Environment="LOCALE_ARCHIVE=/nix/store/zbn9jsvqg4gp6dsa01gmfwald132fk49-glibc-locales-2.39-31/lib/locale/locale-archive"

I was able to convert the timers config :)
timers.nh-clean = {
Timer = {
OnCalendar = cfg.clean.dates;
Persistent = true;
};
};Or we can simply remove the service part and get it going.

@rycee any suggestions?
