Description

Warning: This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name

nix store copy-log - copy build logs between Nix stores

Synopsis

nix store copy-log [option…] installables

Examples

To copy the build log of the hello package from https://cache.nixos.org to the local store:

# nix store copy-log --from https://cache.nixos.org --eval-store auto nixpkgs#hello

You can verify that the log is available locally:

# nix log --substituters ’’ nixpkgs#hello

(The flag --substituters ’’ avoids querying https://cache.nixos.org for the log.)

To copy the log for a specific store derivation via SSH:

# nix store copy-log --to ssh-ng://machine /nix/store/ilgm50plpmcgjhcp33z6n4qbnpqfhxym-glibc-2.33-59.drv

Description

nix store copy-log copies build logs between two Nix stores. The source store is specified using --from and the destination using --to. If one of these is omitted, it defaults to the local store.

Options

--from store-uri

URL of the source Nix store.

--to store-uri

URL of the destination Nix store.

Common evaluation options:

--arg name expr

Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

--argstr name string

Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

--eval-store store-url

The Nix store to use for evaluations.

--impure

Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

--include / -I path

Add path to the list of locations used to look up <...> file names.

--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

Common flake-related options:

--commit-lock-file

Commit changes to the flake’s lock file.

--inputs-from flake-url

Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

--no-registries

Don’t allow lookups in the flake registries. This option is deprecated; use --no-use-registries.

--no-update-lock-file

Do not allow any updates to the flake’s lock file.

--no-write-lock-file

Do not write the flake’s newly generated lock file.

--override-input input-path flake-url

Override a specific flake input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies --no-write-lock-file.

--recreate-lock-file

Recreate the flake’s lock file from scratch.

--update-input input-path

Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).

Options that change the interpretation of installables:

--derivation

Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs.

--expr expr

Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression expr.

--file / -f file

Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression stored in file. If file is the character -, then a Nix expression will be read from standard input.
