       Getting #cachix tto work was surprisingly simple.But... my caches are already ~100Gb just for my laptop stuff, which is not sustainable for a single user.Will need to try #attic caching on my NAS next. #nixos

       @ocramiusPlease share your experiences with attic!I didn't try it yet because I don't see why I would use a non-nix-store cache on a system that has nixos and a store...But maybe there's a good reason...

       @musicmatze when you run multiple PCs with the same derivations, plus CI somewhere :-) I also don't have enough RAM to do builds on all of these PCs

       @ocramiusYes but why would I put my derivations into minio on my NAS, if I could just put them into the nix store of my NAS?

       @musicmatze how do you share them with other machines and jobs that need them?

       @ocramius I am not sure what you mean.You of course serve your nix store. I just don't see why I would add an object storage to that equation?

       @musicmatze I mean: what's the HTTP API to the store of my NAS?I jumped to attic because it seems to be the self-hosted caching solution.Is there something simpler?

       @ocramius`nix copy` probably, but it's not that convenient if you actually want a cache server.But nix can serve it's store, that's built in.But I still have the feeling that we're talking past each other. My only question it why attic would use an S3 object storage if there is already a storage method available it could just use, which is the nix store itself.If I have a nix server that runs attic, I have stuff in the nix store that is also in the attic object storage. Why duplicate here?

       @musicmatze I see: yeah, I really just want a store server, and the addition of an S3 layer is just a complication for me.Why they took that decision: probably because they already manage S3 stuff 😁
