option

systemd.sockets.<name>.wantedBy

Units that want (i.e. depend on) this unit. The default method for starting a unit by default at boot time is to set this option to ["multi-user.target"] for system services. Likewise for user units (systemd.user.<name>.*) set it to ["default.target"] to make a unit start by default when the user <name> logs on.

This option creates a .wants symlink in the given target that exists statelessly without the need for running systemctl enable. The [Install] section described in systemd.unit(5) however is not supported because it is a stateful process that does not fit well into the NixOS design.
