cachix

Sets up the Cachix daemon for Nix caching

Usage

As composite steps do not provide a method to automatically add post-workflow steps, this action consists of two seperate ones. One for initializing Cachix and one for stopping it.

To use this action, you will need a Cachix cache and an auth token for this cache.

Add the CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN action secret. Then add the follwing step to your workflow:

steps:
  - name: Cache
    uses: https://codeberg.org/nix-actions/cachix@main
    with:
      - name: my-cachix-cache

name defaults to the CACHIX_CACHE_NAME repository variable, so it is possible to set this variable and leave out name.

At the end of your workflow, also add the post-worflow step:

  - name: Cache (post)
    uses: https://codeberg.org/nix-actions/cachix/post@main
