Re: [Nix-dev] Multiple machines with nix store shared via NFS

Hi Erik, This is a different question. As far as I understand it NixOps replicates a machine configuration. It copies the store. I want the exact opposite. One store shared across all using NFS. Anyway just for the record in case someone goes down the same road. At the time there is no

Re: [Nix-dev] Multiple machines with nix store shared via NFS

Hi Renato, I'm no expert whatsoever here, but isn't NixOps doing this in a way? At least on my nixos deployed servers all stores are kept in sync, only the server-specific packages are unique for each machine. Don't ask me how it works, I can only confirm that it does ;-) Just my 2 cents.. Kind

Re: [Nix-dev] Multiple machines with nix store shared via NFS

The number of machines is too large to have a nix store on each of them, both in terms of maintenance as well as storage. Some of these machines are clusters so NFS is necessary at least within cluster nodes. R On 01/07/16 15:21, Domen Kožar wrote: > In my experience, NFS is not worth the
