Cachix
The system will automatically pull a cachix.nix at the root if one exists.
This is usually created automatically by a sudo cachix use
. If you're more
inclined to keep the root clean, you can drop any generated files in the
cachix
directory into the profiles/cachix
directory without further
modification.
For example, to add your own cache, assuming the template lives in /etc/nixos,
by simply running sudo cachix use yourcache
. Then, optionally, move
cachix/yourcache.nix
to profiles/cachix/yourcache.nix
These caches are only added to the system after a nixos-rebuild switch
, so it
is recommended to call cachix use nrdxp
before the initial deployment, as it
will save a lot of build time.
In the future, users will be able to skip this step once the ability to define the nix.conf within the flake is fully fleshed out upstream.
