       Nix uses a so-called *binary cache* to optimise building a package from

     

       4
       4
       +
       source into downloading it as a pre-built binary. That is, whenever a

     

       5
       5
       +
       command like `nixos-rebuild` needs a path in the Nix store, Nix will try

     

       6
       6
       +
       to download that path from the Internet rather than build it from

     

       7
       7
       +
       source. The default binary cache is `https://cache.nixos.org/`. If this

     

       8
       8
       +
       cache is unreachable, Nix operations may take a long time due to HTTP

     

       9
       9
       +
       connection timeouts. You can disable the use of the binary cache by

     

       10
       10
       +
       adding `--option use-binary-caches false`, e.g.

     

       11
       11
       +
       

     

       12
       12
       +
       ```ShellSession

     

       13
       13
       +
       # nixos-rebuild switch --option use-binary-caches false

     

       14
       14
       +
       ```

     

       15
       15
       +
       

     

       16
       16
       +
       If you have an alternative binary cache at your disposal, you can use it

     

       17
       17
       +
       instead:

     

       18
       18
       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       ```ShellSession

     

       20
       20
       +
       # nixos-rebuild switch --option binary-caches http://my-cache.example.org/

     

       21
       21
