Rename doc/manual{src -> source}
This is needed to avoid this https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to making our subproject directory `src`.

# Serving a Nix store via SSH
|
||||
|
||||
You can tell Nix to automatically fetch needed binaries from a remote
|
||||
Nix store via SSH. For example, the following installs Firefox,
|
||||
automatically fetching any store paths in Firefox’s closure if they are
|
||||
available on the server `avalon`:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.firefox --substituters ssh://alice@avalon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This works similar to the binary cache substituter that Nix usually
|
||||
uses, only using SSH instead of HTTP: if a store path `P` is needed, Nix
|
||||
will first check if it’s available in the Nix store on `avalon`. If not,
|
||||
it will fall back to using the binary cache substituter, and then to
|
||||
building from source.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The SSH substituter currently does not allow you to enter an SSH
|
||||
> passphrase interactively. Therefore, you should use `ssh-add` to load
|
||||
> the decrypted private key into `ssh-agent`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also copy the closure of some store path, without installing it
|
||||
into your profile, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-store --realise /nix/store/m85bxg…-firefox-34.0.5 --substituters
|
||||
ssh://alice@avalon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is essentially equivalent to doing
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-copy-closure --from alice@avalon
|
||||
/nix/store/m85bxg…-firefox-34.0.5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can use SSH’s *forced command* feature to set up a restricted user
|
||||
account for SSH substituter access, allowing read-only access to the
|
||||
local Nix store, but nothing more. For example, add the following lines
|
||||
to `sshd_config` to restrict the user `nix-ssh`:
|
||||
|
||||
Match User nix-ssh
|
||||
AllowAgentForwarding no
|
||||
AllowTcpForwarding no
|
||||
PermitTTY no
|
||||
PermitTunnel no
|
||||
X11Forwarding no
|
||||
ForceCommand nix-store --serve
|
||||
Match All
|
||||
|
||||
On NixOS, you can accomplish the same by adding the following to your
|
||||
`configuration.nix`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
nix.sshServe.enable = true;
|
||||
nix.sshServe.keys = [ "ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1k... bob@example.org" ];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
where the latter line lists the public keys of users that are allowed to
|
||||
connect.
