@NobbZ

hat means that you have not disabled cache.nixos.org.

The way the defaults are laid out, is that ["cache.nixos.org"] is not defined as a default value, but as a “flat” value with the same priority as any the values you add yourself. This way one doesn’t have to add it manually when also adding other caches. So “adding” is easier this way, and it is not really expected that poeple want to use nixos without the nixos caches.

You probaly want to use lib.mkForce to give your value a lower priority and therefore precedence over the NixOS provided value.

Thanks for telling me.

In my previous conversation with NobbZ, he said that nixos will always pull from “cache.nixos.org” unless lib.mkForce is used and…

@NobbZ

You have to rebuild/switch at least once to make it realize in the /etc/nix/nix.conf.

For this initial rebuild, you have to use --option substituters "your.thing.here" if the global fastly provided nixos cache does you any trouble for you.

That is how I configured the pkgs mirror.

Such a pain, right?!

Just letting you know, my system currently pulls from the os mirror and the pkgs mirror very quickly and I just updated everything.
