Getting #cachix tto work was surprisingly simple.
But... my caches are already ~100Gb just for my laptop stuff, which is not sustainable for a single user.
-
Anyone know if #Cachix supports a way to prevent specific packages from being uploaded? The default 5GB limit is being annihilated by IDE's.

It's come to a point where I want a NAS at home, but just for #cachix. Why build twice if you don't have to?

Having #nix, #nixpkgs, #cachix and #nixery readily available - and portable - makes me think that #EndlessOS is not the only one who has skin in the game of decentralised software distribution.
As long as you have the storage space, you could build a binary cache of almost all the software available, and then distribute that from somewhere easily.
You can certainly use them to create an isolated test bench for software where you have full control over every dependency and version - as I have.

Pour une formation que je vais faire au boulot, je viens de créer un #nix #flake qui te fournit un #neovim configuré au petits ognons pour les besoins de la formation. C'est vraiment un outil qui envoie. `nix run github:owner/repo` et zou tu as ton éditeur sans interférer avec ta potentielle conf locale.
Avec mon #cachix perso pour récupérer une version précompilée pour les OS utilisés, c'est du pur bonheur.

I made it work, phew. So, now you can fetch #helm charts (updated nightly) from nix (and #cachix). You can use those to install via helm cli locally, or use my nix kube generators (https://github.com/farcaller/nix-kube-generators) to deploy straight to k8s (via e.g. #argocd).

CW: Software developer tooling with Nix
#Cachix recently announced devenv.sh, #Nix-based tooling for "Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments".
I'm hyped about Nix for exactly this use case - I'm glad to see a company putting resources into this idea. I much prefer Nix to #Docker for dev environments because Nix doesn't need a container or VM.

So here we go: https://elis.nu/blog/2022/10/outsourcing-nixos-compile-time-to-microsoft/
How I outsourced my #NixOS rebuilds to #Microsoft #GitHub using GitHub actions and #Cachix.
