| jean-paul. | How do I convince nix to use a GitHub token for downloading stuff from GitHub? I keep getting rate limited on CI. I already have access-tokens = github.com=... in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf which seems like it should be enough but clearly isn't.
How do I even tell whether it's trying to use a token for authentication or not?
| 19:04:50 |
| jean-paul. | The only thing I can figure out is to put the credentials in /etc/nix/netrc. No variation of access-tokens works as far as I can tell. | 20:01:27 |
 Scrumplex | netrc is going to be your best bet really as its widely supported by a lot of tools, not just curl.
Something along the lines of
machine github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
machine api.github.com
login your_username
password ghp_...
| 20:42:13 |
| Scrumplex | I am pretty sure access-tokens in nix.conf only affects the builtin fetchers primarly used by the flake subsystem | 20:43:43 |
| jean-paul. | It'd be nice if that were actually documented. The nix.conf docs really make it sound like it's for anything. | 20:59:37 |

| jean-paul. | Cool, 9% of the time:
/etc/nix/netrc" (line 2, column 9):
unexpected 'a'
expecting comment, "machine", "default", "macdef" or end of input

| @adam:robins.wtf | Ahh my message was clearly wrong. Thanks matrix for backfilling all the mod events instantly and then doing the chat events later | 12:16:59 |

| @adam:robins.wtf | i'm not a big nginx user, and think our acme implementation is good enough, but could be interesting to some | 12:52:56 |
 magic_rb | Thats exciting, brings it closer to caddy, caddy is still a bit slower than nginx i think | 13:36:07 |
 hexa | and has no rate limiting | 13:37:06 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | i was happy to see it's written in a memory safe language too (rust) | 13:54:52 |

WORK IN PROGRESS: Please note that this module is still unfinished and may have bugs. Please try it out and file bug reports - thanks!
| 13:57:39 |
| magic_rb | Maybe i should do that, i need to write myself a more comprehensive nixng module for nginx, the one i have is shit | 13:59:47 |
| magic_rb | I could also reuse the nixos one in nixng but i dont like it that much | 14:00:22 |
| hexa | maybe you just need to stop doing nixng | 14:00:51 |
| hexa | 🤷 | 14:00:53 |
