What
Add
nix-community.cachix.orgas an extra binary cache in the sharednix.settings.Why
Pull community-built closures (disko and other nix-community derivations) from a
binary cache instead of building them locally.
extra-appends to the defaults,so
cache.nixos.orgstays in place. Applies to every host viaconfiguration.nix.Note
nixpkgs is pinned to the released
nixos-25.11channel, so podman is alreadyserved by
cache.nixos.organd should not build from source. This cache mainlyhelps with disko and other community derivations. If podman is genuinely
rebuilding, the cause is likely elsewhere (an overlay touching its deps, an
arch/unfree gap, or a stale substituter) and worth a separate look.
