Reminder that garnix has 1,500 minutes in the free tier, and is usually quite a bit faster than GitHub Actions. If anyone has projects that are open source and valuable to the community and needs more than those 1,500 minutes, get in touch!

I’m wondering if you’re being ironic here :sweat_smile:

FYI, I’m trying to hack around this with GitHub - jashandeep-sohi/action-cache-api-shim: This action will let you use other actions/tools that need access to the legacy GHA Cache Service v1 API. until someone does a rewrite for the new cache API. Your mileage may vary…I’ve only been able to test it against the new API briefly during the brown-out periods.

So it just needs to upgrade to the new version?..

magic-nix-cache is in written in rust unlike cache-nix-action which is written in typescript, not sure about the implementation details for cache-nix-action. but magic-nix-cache uses the api, not that package.

And for magic-nix-cache those api v2 endpoints of gha cache require the new proto definitions (which were closed source until that issue), but they came along with a notice that they are likely to break it again as well. (see above linked issue)

So my suggestion would be to take a look at cache-nix-action, see if it works and migrate. I have yet to try it out.

Not sure why this needed a necrobump after 140 days, but in the meanwhile it seems that a solution was made. Let’s move on.

The pr with github cache v2 support landed if anyone is wasn’t subscribed to the PR. Thanks to jchv · GitHub

maybe all the deprecation warnings, and the now outdated instructions to use flakehub-cache etc. in the readme can be changed @lucperkins so that we can use magic-nix-cache again.
