OK, I found it. Any .nix file in /etc/nixos is read by nixos-rebuild

A module contains a Nix expression. It declares options for other modules to define (give a value). It processes them and defines options declared in other modules. Each NixOS module is a file that handles one logical aspect of the configuration, such as a specific kind of hardware, a service, or network settings.

So what I need to do can be solved in two ways:

  1. add package to nixpkgs. Is there cardano-node in nixpkgs? Nope!

What I need to do: from a forum post I got a headsup that second way of adding package to personal configuration works.
