[Athens](https://github.com/gomods/athens)
|
||
|
|
is a Go module datastore and proxy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main goal of Athens is providing a Go proxy (`$GOPROXY`) in regions without access to `https://proxy.golang.org` or to
|
||
|
|
improve the speed of Go module downloads for CI/CD systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuring {#module-services-development-athens-configuring}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A complete list of options for the Athens module may be found
|
||
|
|
[here](#opt-services.athens.enable).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic usage for a caching proxy configuration {#opt-services-development-athens-caching-proxy}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A very basic configuration for Athens that acts as a caching and forwarding HTTP proxy is:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
services.athens = {
|
||
|
|
enable = true;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to prevent Athens from writing to disk, you can instead configure it to cache modules only in memory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
services.athens = {
|
||
|
|
enable = true;
|
||
|
|
storageType = "memory";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the local proxy in Go builds, you can set the proxy as environment variable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
environment.variables = {
|
||
|
|
GOPROXY = "http://localhost:3000"
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is currently not possible to use the local proxy for builds done by the Nix daemon. This might be enabled
|
||
|
|
by experimental features, specifically [`configurable-impure-env`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/experimental-features#xp-feature-configurable-impure-env),
|
||
|
|
in upcoming Nix versions.
