Most of the examples from the above link will start ngspice (as shared library) from within KiCad. Some may either use internal or external ngspice (to be installed as an extra).
oh yes you can, you'll just need to assign the spice model to each
component and add the simulation you want to do as text in the
schematics ex: ".tran 10u 10m 0"

Holger,
It has been 10 years since I have used KiCad as a schematic entry
tool for NGSPICE. A lot has changed since then.
is it possible to launch a simulation from within KiCad?

Circuit examples with KiCad/Eeschema frontend for schematic entry
I have assembled several example circuits here https://forum.kicad.info/t/simulation-examples-for-eeschema-ngspice/34443 in the KiCad Info Forum.
They range from audio power amplifiers (including Tian probes) over power supplies (linear and SMPS) to miscellanious applications like CMOS or tubes.
You will need KiCad 6.0.2 and ngspice-36 to run the examples.

Please have a look at http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/ngspice-eeschema.html
More on simulation is found here: https://docs.kicad.org/6.0/en/eeschema/eeschema.html#simulator
This is how to set up KiCad (especially chapter Tutorial Part 2: Schematic): https://docs.kicad.org/6.0/en/getting_started_in_kicad/getting_started_in_kicad.html
