Logging in

You should have received an attic login command from an admin like the following:

attic login central https://attic.domain.tld/ eyJ...

The attic client can work with multiple servers at the same time. To select the foo cache from server central, use one of the following:

• foo, if the central server is configured as the default
• central:foo

To configure the default server, set default-server in ~/.config/attic/config.toml.

Enabling a cache

To configure Nix to automatically use cache foo:

attic use foo

Disabling a cache

To configure Nix to no longer use a cache, remove the corresponding entries from the list of substituters and trusted-public-keys in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

Pushing to the cache

To push a store path to cache foo:

attic push foo /nix/store/...

Other examples include:

attic push foo ./result
attic push foo /run/current-system
