How to use

Integrate with Flake

{
  description = "My Flake";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    pilots.url = "github:NixOS-Pilots/pilots";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, pilots, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix # Your system configuration.
          pilots.nixosModules.default # Our default module.
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

Binary cache

If you like to fetch derivations from our cache where the build artefacts are pushed, it is available in daeuniverse.cachix.org.

To enable it in your system, add the following to your configuration.nix:

{
  nix = {
    binaryCaches = [
      "https://nixospilots.cachix.org"
    ];
    binaryCachePublicKeys = [
      "nixospilots.cachix.org-1:agmYn3jPCVyiqhSfyPtW8vjB4WavuEdSv49skpup2XE="
    ];
  };
}

Warning

If you want to fetch derivations from our cache, you'll need to enable the binary cache and rebuild your system before adding these derivations to your configuration. Commands like nix run, nix develop, and others, when using our flake as input, will ask you to add the cache interactively when missing from your user's nix settings. If you want to use the cache right from the installation media, install your system using the following:

# replace host with your hostname
nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/nixos#host --option 'extra-substituters' 'https://nixospilots.cachix.org/' --option extra-trusted-public-keys "nixospilots.cachix.org-1:agmYn3jPCVyiqhSfyPtW8vjB4WavuEdSv49skpup2XE="`
