 ## Usage
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> During the Lix private beta period during which Forgejo is private, this
+> requires configuring netrc in Lix for the tarball download to work.
+>
+> Your netrc should look something like so:
+> ```
+> machine git.lix.systems login YOUR-USERNAME password SOME-PERSONAL-ACCESS-TOKEN-REPO-READ
+> ```
+>
+> We are terribly sorry for the UX for this being very bad
+> ([issue](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/254)).

 To use, add the following to your `flake.nix`:

 ```nix
-inputs.flake-compat = {
