<title>Serving a Nix store via AWS S3 or S3-compatible Service</title>

<para>Nix has built-in support for storing and fetching store paths
|

from Amazon S3 and S3 compatible services. This uses the same
|

<emphasis>binary</emphasis> cache mechanism that Nix usually uses to
|

fetch prebuilt binaries from <uri>cache.nixos.org</uri>.</para>

<para>If your binary cache is publicly accessible and does not

your S3 compatible binary cache is to use the HTTP URL for that

<para>For AWS S3 the binary cache URL for example bucket will be

documentation.</para>
