Can you give a bit more information about your exact use case?

In principle you can copy anything to the machine, by just referring to it
in your machine's configuration. E.g. if you have a local directory of
static html files in ./www, you would just refer to this directory in your
httpd/ngixn configuration (e.g. using ${./www}, and it would automatically
be imported into the nix store and copied to the machine.

Cheers,
Rob
