 n3tcat | hmm does Lix change how remote deployments work? I am deploying to a sever and it looks like packages are going direct from the Nix build cache to the server. When I was on Nix I'm pretty sure it would copy them to my local machine and then copy them from my local machine to the server | 02:17:54 |
 whispers [& it/fae] | there's a builders-use-substitutes (or something similar) config option which controls this behavior | 02:23:45 |
| n3tcat | wait what does that flag do | 02:24:19 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | which is better mostly depends on whether you have the server has a faster connection to your local machine or the binary cache | 02:24:21 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | wait what exactly you do you mean by deployments | 02:24:53 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | I'm referring to remote builders, which might be the wrong thing | 02:25:06 |
| n3tcat | uh well I kinda have both
I have a remote builder but I'm doing a nixos-rebuild --switch --target 1.2.3.4 or whatever it is
In this case the remote builder isn't being used I don't think | 02:25:41 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | oh i forget then. nix-copy-closure (which is used by nixos-rebuild) does have a --use-substitutes option but i dunno if lix changes that | 02:28:43 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | * oh no clue then. nix-copy-closure (which is used by nixos-rebuild) does have a --use-substitutes option but i dunno if lix changes that | 02:28:53 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | * oh no clue then. nix-copy-closure (which is used by nixos-rebuild, which has the same option) do have a --use-substitutes option but i dunno if lix changes that | 02:32:33 |

| n3tcat | it is definitely ideal if it can copy straight from the cache to the server without needing to go through my laptop | 02:34:25 |
| n3tcat | but also maybe it's just a measurement of error of some kind of my laptop | 02:34:34 |
