 Mic92 | How long on your server? | 11:33:02 |
 Gaétan Lepage | <10min | 12:26:53 |
| Mic92 | You probably also didn't had to do any remote builds, which also seem a bottleneck | 12:36:39 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Yes, it looks like I could run nix flake check --all-systems locally even though I had no remote-builders | 12:43:00 |
| Mic92 | what are those module- packages? | 12:49:27 |
| Mic92 | It looks like nix-eval-jobs report those to be not cached. | 12:49:40 |
| Mic92 | Also cachix than says during upload they are. | 12:50:05 |
| Mic92 | mhm locally they are considered cached | 12:56:44 |
| Mic92 | Another bottleneck might be also that it update's the job status on github for every derivation. | 13:08:49 |
| Mic92 | All in all as of today, I haven't really optimized it for these types of workloads. Hydra might be still the better choice for large package sets. | 13:15:21 |

 K900 | Does anyone have a build this entire flake and push to cache action I can steal? | 08:33:46 |
 raitobezarius | a single action or a github action code to do both? | 09:01:44 |
| K900 | Either works | 09:06:57 |
| K900 | Basically I just want something I can drop into kde2nix to have a binary cache for it | 09:07:06 |
| K900 | Without spending half a day on figuring out github actions | 09:07:15 |
 aidalgol | I think that's what cachix-action does with a post hook. | 09:28:32 |
| aidalgol | We use it in the GH action for vs-overlay. I think it uploads everything that got built in your action, so it should work with the flake build command, not just nix-build. | 09:30:48 |
| aidalgol | So I think this would do what you want.
name: Steal this action
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v22
with:
nix_path: nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable
- uses: cachix/cachix-action@v12
with:
name: nix-community
authToken: '${{ secrets.CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN }}'
- run: nix build
| 09:31:35 |
| K900 | Hmm | 09:31:57 |
| K900 | Yeah looks stealable | 09:31:59 |
| aidalgol | Er, that would only build the default package, won't it... How do you build an entire flake? | 09:32:45 |
| aidalgol | * Er, that would only build the default package, would't it... How do you build an entire flake? | 09:33:09 |
| K900 | I have an "all packages" target kind of | 09:33:11 |
| K900 | So I can build that | 09:33:14 |
| aidalgol | Ah, handy. | 09:33:25 |
| K900 | https://github.com/nix-community/kde2nix/actions/runs/7445595376/job/20254134079?pr=28 | 09:35:44 |
| K900 | I think it worked??? | 09:35:49 |
| aidalgol | And I think the uses: cachix/cachix-action@v12 bit will mean that nix uses the nix-community cachix cache, so it won't burn through GH Action minutes rebuilding everything every time. | 09:37:27 |
