 flyx | can I use Nix Flakes purely as a solution for remote compiling? like, my (otherwise Nix-less) project requires me to build it on a remote machine and I have some hacky rsync-up---compile---rsync-down script which I want to replace with something more sensible, and Nix provides remote building capabilities. so if I write an impure Flake that just calls the system compiler and doesn’t use any Nix features, would this be a feasible solution for remote compiling? | 16:01:09 |
 tomberek | The remote build system is powerful, but doing this and breaking out of the sandbox in a safe way will take some care. But yes, this can be done; I used this as a quick data transformation engine orchestrated by Hydra, you just gotta be careful and ensure you end up with the properties you want. | 16:44:21 |
| flyx | would it transfer my entire repository every time I change something and build, or does it do some caching? the repo is >1GB so this would be an important property | 16:50:12 |
| tomberek | Remote builders would only transfer what is in the drv closure; the build closure. Now this can easily and often does include the source repo if you ever do something like "src= ./. ;"
You can do another trick which is to have your runners reference your build via a git-based flakes, thus caching your repo if that is what you want, again need to be careful with ref/rev/allRefs and auth. | 17:02:43 |
| flyx | referencing the git wouldn't be what I want, I can do that already with CI. I specifically want to build my local dirty state. thats for the infos, I'll evaluate if I can work around having everything in the drv closure | 17:09:46 |
| tomberek | Okay. Another trick is to depend on a subdirectory. It means another local copy, but less is transferred as a drv dependency. | 17:22:33 |
