# Name
|
||||
|
||||
`nix.conf` - Nix configuration file
|
||||
|
||||
# Description
|
||||
|
||||
By default Nix reads settings from the following places:
|
||||
|
||||
- The system-wide configuration file `sysconfdir/nix/nix.conf` (i.e.
|
||||
`/etc/nix/nix.conf` on most systems), or `$NIX_CONF_DIR/nix.conf` if
|
||||
`NIX_CONF_DIR` is set. Values loaded in this file are not forwarded
|
||||
to the Nix daemon. The client assumes that the daemon has already
|
||||
loaded them.
|
||||
|
||||
- If `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES` is set, then each path separated by `:`
|
||||
will be loaded in reverse order.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise it will look for `nix/nix.conf` files in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS`
|
||||
and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. If these are unset, it will look in
|
||||
`$HOME/.config/nix.conf`.
|
||||
|
||||
- If `NIX_CONFIG` is set, its contents is treated as the contents of
|
||||
a configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration files consist of `name = value` pairs, one per
|
||||
line. Other files can be included with a line like `include path`,
|
||||
where *path* is interpreted relative to the current conf file and a
|
||||
missing file is an error unless `!include` is used instead. Comments
|
||||
start with a `#` character. Here is an example configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
keep-outputs = true # Nice for developers
|
||||
keep-derivations = true # Idem
|
||||
|
||||
You can override settings on the command line using the `--option`
|
||||
flag, e.g. `--option keep-outputs false`. Every configuration setting
|
||||
also has a corresponding command line flag, e.g. `--max-jobs 16`; for
|
||||
Boolean settings, there are two flags to enable or disable the setting
|
||||
(e.g. `--keep-failed` and `--no-keep-failed`).
|
||||
|
||||
A configuration setting usually overrides any previous value. However,
|
||||
you can prefix the name of the setting by `extra-` to *append* to the
|
||||
previous value. For instance,
|
||||
|
||||
substituters = a b
|
||||
extra-substituters = c d
|
||||
|
||||
defines the `substituters` setting to be `a b c d`. This is also
|
||||
available as a command line flag (e.g. `--extra-substituters`).
|
||||
|
||||
The following settings are currently available:
