<title>Using the <xref linkend="conf-post-build-hook" /></title>
<subtitle>Uploading to an S3-compatible binary cache after each build</subtitle>
<section xml:id="chap-post-build-hook-caveats">
<title>Implementation Caveats</title>
<para>Here we use the post-build hook to upload to a binary cache.
This is a simple and working example, but it is not suitable for all
use cases.</para>
<para>The post build hook program runs after each executed build,
and blocks the build loop. The build loop exits if the hook program
fails.</para>
<para>Concretely, this implementation will make Nix slow or unusable
when the internet is slow or unreliable.</para>
<para>A more advanced implementation might pass the store paths to a
user-supplied daemon or queue for processing the store paths outside
of the build loop.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Prerequisites</title>
<para>
This tutorial assumes you have configured an S3-compatible binary cache
according to the instructions at
<xref linkend="ssec-s3-substituter-authenticated-writes" />, and
that the <literal>root</literal> user's default AWS profile can
upload to the bucket.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Set up a Signing Key</title>
<para>Use <command>nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key</command> to
create our public and private signing keys. We will sign paths
with the private key, and distribute the public key for verifying
the authenticity of the paths.</para>
<screen>
# nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key example-nix-cache-1 /etc/nix/key.private /etc/nix/key.public
# cat /etc/nix/key.public
example-nix-cache-1:1/cKDz3QCCOmwcztD2eV6Coggp6rqc9DGjWv7C0G+rM=
</screen>
<para>Then, add the public key and the cache URL to your
<filename>nix.conf</filename>'s <xref linkend="conf-trusted-public-keys" />
and <xref linkend="conf-substituters" /> like:</para>
<programlisting>
substituters = https://cache.nixos.org/ s3://example-nix-cache
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= example-nix-cache-1:1/cKDz3QCCOmwcztD2eV6Coggp6rqc9DGjWv7C0G+rM=
</programlisting>
<para>we will restart the Nix daemon a later step.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Implementing the build hook</title>
<para>Write the following script to
<filename>/etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh</filename>:
</para>
<programlisting>
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
set -f # disable globbing
export IFS=' '
echo "Signing paths" $OUT_PATHS
nix sign-paths --key-file /etc/nix/key.private $OUT_PATHS
echo "Uploading paths" $OUT_PATHS
exec nix copy --to 's3://example-nix-cache' $OUT_PATHS
</programlisting>
<note>
<title>Should <literal>$OUT_PATHS</literal> be quoted?</title>
<para>
The <literal>$OUT_PATHS</literal> variable is a space-separated
list of Nix store paths. In this case, we expect and want the
shell to perform word splitting to make each output path its
own argument to <command>nix sign-paths</command>. Nix guarantees
the paths will not contain any spaces, however a store path
might contain glob characters. The <command>set -f</command>
disables globbing in the shell.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Then make sure the hook program is executable by the <literal>root</literal> user:
<screen>
# chmod +x /etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh
</screen></para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Updating Nix Configuration</title>
<para>Edit <filename>/etc/nix/nix.conf</filename> to run our hook,
by adding the following configuration snippet at the end:</para>
<programlisting>
post-build-hook = /etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh
</programlisting>
<para>Then, restart the <command>nix-daemon</command>.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Testing</title>
<para>Build any derivation, for example:</para>
<screen>
$ nix-build -E '(import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}).writeText "example" (builtins.toString builtins.currentTime)'
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/s4pnfbkalzy5qz57qs6yybna8wylkig6-example.drv
building '/nix/store/s4pnfbkalzy5qz57qs6yybna8wylkig6-example.drv'...
running post-build-hook '/home/grahamc/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix/post-hook.sh'...
post-build-hook: Signing paths /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
post-build-hook: Uploading paths /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
/nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
</screen>
<para>Then delete the path from the store, and try substituting it from the binary cache:</para>
<screen>
$ rm ./result
$ nix-store --delete /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
</screen>
<para>Now, copy the path back from the cache:</para>
<screen>
$ nix store --realize /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
copying path '/nix/store/m8bmqwrch6l3h8s0k3d673xpmipcdpsa-example from 's3://example-nix-cache'...
warning: you did not specify '--add-root'; the result might be removed by the garbage collector
/nix/store/m8bmqwrch6l3h8s0k3d673xpmipcdpsa-example
</screen>
</section>
<section>
<title>Conclusion</title>
<para>
We now have a Nix installation configured to automatically sign and
upload every local build to a remote binary cache.
</para>
<para>
Before deploying this to production, be sure to consider the
implementation caveats in <xref linkend="chap-post-build-hook-caveats" />.
