docs(nix): note FlakeHub is not used (no useful free tier)#49
Merged
Conversation
Add a Continuous integration section to the Nix hub page: CI runs through shared reusable workflows with actions/cache + cache.nixos.org, and does not use FlakeHub. FlakeHub's hosted cache no longer has a useful free tier and a FlakeHub-backed cache action fails CI on api.flakehub.com auth. The free Determinate installer and Determinate Nix module are unaffected. Refs: dryvist/.github#13 Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8

What
Add a Continuous integration section to
nix/overview.mdx(the generic Nix hub page) documenting that Nix CI uses shared reusable workflows + GitHub Actions cache /cache.nixos.org, and does not use FlakeHub.Why
FlakeHub's hosted binary cache no longer offers a useful free tier, and a FlakeHub-backed cache action fails CI when it cannot authenticate to
api.flakehub.com(this brokedryvist/nix-claude-codeCI). The note records the decision in the public docs so the reasoning is discoverable. It also clarifies that the free Determinate Systems installer and Determinate Nix module are unaffected — only the FlakeHub cache is out.Verification
