Pragmatic NixOS cache
Decentralised binary caches for Nixpkgs/NixOS
Nixpkgs is one of the largest collections of software on the planet. This constitutes a huge body of source code, which in turn requires a vast amount of compilation to arrive at usable software. In fact so much that in practice, ergonomic use of NixOS depends on a well-populated binary cache. Such a cache could easily become a single point of failure. This project works on delivering alternative solutions.
This project was funded through the NGI Fediversity Fund, a fund established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, as a pilot programme under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology. NGI Fediversity is part of the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101136078.
