This enables a periodically executed systemd service named
<literal>nixos-upgrade.service</literal>. It runs <command>nixos-rebuild
switch --upgrade</command> to upgrade NixOS to the latest version in the
current channel. (To see when the service runs, see <command>systemctl
list-timers</command>.) You can also specify a channel explicitly, e.g.
<literal>nixos-upgrade.service</literal>. If the <literal>allowReboot</literal>
option is <literal>false</literal>, it runs <command>nixos-rebuild switch
--upgrade</command> to upgrade NixOS to the latest version in the current
channel. (To see when the service runs, see <command>systemctl list-timers</command>.)
If <literal>allowReboot</literal> is <literal>true</literal>, then the
system will automatically reboot if the new generation contains a different
kernel, initrd or kernel modules.
