Mikey Ariel 8901acc976 Restructuring the Nix manual 2014-08-27 18:41:09 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 7018830509 Update manual 2014-08-04 18:00:33 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 049c0eb49c nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options 
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated
rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to
‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.

‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

Eelco Dolstra 9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet 
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

Eelco Dolstra 7f74513b4e Also provide an option for setting the curl connection timeout 2014-02-26 16:07:43 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra efe4289464 Add an option to limit the log output of builders 
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck
in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

Ivan Kozik 34bb806f74 Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual 2013-08-26 11:15:22 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra b584a42e3d Manual: auto-optimise-store is disabled by default 2013-07-03 18:35:59 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra f0576d6775 Update the default binary cache URL to cache.nixos.org 2013-06-05 13:36:43 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra ea019e9a26 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’ 
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted
caches are ignored.

Eelco Dolstra aebea2e489 Reinstate the http://nixos.org/binary-cache default for the binary-caches setting 2013-01-02 22:16:37 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra b7629778ef Allow mounting a path in a different location in the chroot 
Fixes #24.

Eelco Dolstra 68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root 
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.
 2012-12-21 15:00:07 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’ 
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

Eelco Dolstra 522ecab9b8 Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode 
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.

Eelco Dolstra c845c0ccad nix-channel: Add option to force fetching of manifests 2012-09-13 12:11:40 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 9e2fc6951c Disable the binary cache substituter by default for now 2012-08-27 14:20:14 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels 
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.
 2012-08-01 17:56:11 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d1b64f118 Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’ 
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear
in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in
nix.conf.
 2012-07-31 18:56:22 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 89a8207029 Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag) 2012-07-31 17:56:02 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 9de6d10d11 Get rid of $NIX_BINARY_CACHES 
You can use ‘--option binary-caches URLs’ instead.
