Attic is a self-hostable, multi-tenant Nix binary cache server backed by S3-compatible storage, written in Rust. It provides global deduplication, managed on-the-fly signing, LRU garbage collection, and can be deployed to serverless platforms or a single machine.

Use cases

• self-host a private nix binary cache
• share a nix cache with friends or coworkers
• deduplicate nix store paths across multiple caches
• push nix build results to a remote cache
• run a nix cache on s3-compatible storage
• garbage collect unused nix store paths

When to choose

• you need a multi-tenant nix cache with untrusting tenants
• you want server-side managed signing keys
• you want to deploy to serverless platforms like fly.io or use S3 storage
• you need global deduplication and LRU garbage collection

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, production-hardened cache server
• you want a simple single-user cache without multi-tenancy
• you need features beyond the early prototype stage
