Hi! I would like to host a transparent proxy for cache.nixos.org on my local kubernetes cluster.
I took the following NGINX config https://nixos.wiki/wiki/FAQ/Private_Cache_Proxy and created all the folders on the mounted storage.
This is the kubernetes deployment:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: nix-cache-volume
spec:
capacity:
storage: 500Gi
storageClassName: manual
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/mnt/k8s/nix-cache" # Needs exists before PV is created!
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
***
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: nix-cache-pvc
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
storageClassName: manual
resources:
requests:

***
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment

***
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: nix-cache-config
data:
nginx.conf: |
server {
listen 80;
server_name nix-cache.raspi.home;
location ~ ^/nix-cache-info {
proxy_store on;
proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
proxy_temp_path /data/nginx/nix-cache-info/temp;
root /data/nginx/nix-cache-info/store;
proxy_set_header Host "cache.nixos.org";
proxy_pass https://cache.nixos.org;
}
location ~^/nar/.+$ {
proxy_store on;
proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
proxy_temp_path /data/nginx/nar/temp;
root /data/nginx/nar/store;
proxy_set_header Host "cache.nixos.org";
proxy_pass https://cache.nixos.org;
}
}
To use the cache I added it to the substituters.
nix.settings.substituters = [
"https://nix-cache.raspi.home/"
];
But when I try to use it, get the error:
# Trigger a download
nix develop nixpkgs#just
# Error message
warning: 'https://nix-cache.raspi.home' does not appear to be a binary cache
In the logs of the NGINX I see the following error:
2024/08/03 12:09:30 [error] 31#31: *3 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/nix-cache-info" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 10.42.2.7, server: localhost, request: "GET /nix-cache-info HTTP/1 │
│ 10.42.2.7 - - [03/Aug/2024:12:09:30 +0000] "GET /nix-cache-info HTTP/1.1" 404 153 "-" "curl/8.8.0 Nix/2.18.5" "10.42.2.1" │

Any ideas whats wrong? I'm neither an nix nor an nginx expert, so maybe it is something really simple but I cannot figure it out.
Thanks, I'll try that!
