Cachix

Note

This page only applies to the flake package.
You can safely skip this if you use the Nixpkgs package.

The Hyprland flake is not built by Hydra, so it is not cached in cache.nixos.org, like the rest of Nixpkgs.

Instead of requiring you to build Hyprland (and its dependencies, which may include mesa, ffmpeg, etc), we provide a Cachix cache that you can add to your Nix configuration.

The Hyprland Cachix exists to cache the hyprland packages and any dependencies not found in cache.nixos.org.

Warning

In order for Nix to take advantage of the cache, it has to be enabled before using the Hyprland flake package.

configuration.nix
{
  nix.settings = {
    substituters = ["https://hyprland.cachix.org"];
    trusted-substituters = ["https://hyprland.cachix.org"];
    trusted-public-keys = ["hyprland.cachix.org-1:a7pgxzMz7+chwVL3/pzj6jIBMioiJM7ypFP8PwtkuGc="];
    # Required so non-root users are allowed to use the above substituter/keys.
    # Use @wheel for all sudo users, or list your username explicitly.
    trusted-users = ["root" "@wheel"];
  };
}

Note

If you see ignoring the client-specified setting 'trusted-public-keys', because it is a restricted setting and you are not a trusted user, your user is not in trusted-users. Add it as shown above and rebuild.

Warning

Do not override Hyprland’s nixpkgs input unless you know what you are doing.
Doing so will render the cache useless, since you’re building from a different Nixpkgs commit.
