@zatm8:zinzaguras.ruzatm8Does anyone here tries to build Content Addressed binary cache? There was some experimental nixos cache, but it seems to be long dead. I would like to know current status of adopting Ca-derivations.19:30:21
@ajs124:ajs124.deajs124 You mean https://github.com/zhaofengli/attic? 19:34:29
@zatm8:zinzaguras.ruzatm8No, it's nix daemon feature rather then cache: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Ca-derivations19:37:16
@zatm8:zinzaguras.ruzatm8I’ve been experimenting with integrating OTA updates with Nix’s local-overlay-store. The lower layer is the active A/B slot (a SquashFS image containing /nix/store), and the upper layer is a writable ext4 store used by containers. After a slot switch, a reconcile pass repairs the upper layer by downloading missing store paths. While working on this, I found that the same input-addressed store path can have different realisations on different hosts, so the narHash recorded in the lower-store DB could disagree with the bytes shipped in the image, causing nix copy to fail with a hash mismatch. CA-derivations fixed this class of issues for me, but I really don't know how many people using them and what's the status of this feature.19:51:44
