SeaweedFS filer patch plus the NixOS deployment of the gateway, for a niks3 binary cache on an S3 bucket.

Problem

The bucket is mounted into the SeaweedFS filer as a remote mount, and niks3 talks S3 to the gateway instead of the provider. Every cache miss under the mount then makes the filer HEAD the object in the bucket. Most misses are names that do not exist at all — clients probing narinfos they might already have, paths GC collected — and providers rate limit those requests, so a busy cache returns errors instead of misses. As all writes go through

nix-search.py

Command-line search for search.nixos.org's Elasticsearch backend (nixos-search). Python 3 stdlib only.

Builds the same query as the web frontend, plus ranking tweaks (disable with --upstream-ranking):

Exact/prefix boost on the attribute name: gcc, docker rank first.

buildbot-nix — hybrid mockup (freestyle redesign)

This iteration deviates from the original spec in service of a more cohesive, less cluttered design. The earlier hybrid kept the spec's multi-section page structure (phase chevrons, separate Build-failures section, Logs tab, etc.). This redesign collapses the run page to a single expandable table, drops the secondary sticky sub-header, and repurposes derivation.html.

Both themes work via Tailwind dark: classes. Theme toggle persists

Benchmark: parallel `addMultipleToStore` for `nix copy`

Measures the performance impact of parallelizing LocalStore::addMultipleToStore (writing store paths to disk in parallel via a thread pool, then registering in a single SQLite transaction) vs the base sequential implementation.

Test closure: Firefox — ~372 paths, ~1.6GB total.
