	      Warning
	      This  program  is	 experimental <../../development/experimental-
	      features.md#xp-feature-nix-command> and its interface is subject
	      to change.

Name
       nix daemon - daemon to perform store operations on behalf  of  non-root
       clients

Synopsis
       nix daemon [option...]

Examples
       •  Run the daemon:

       # nix daemon

       •  Run  the  daemon  and	listen on standard I/O instead of binding to a
	  UNIX socket:

       # nix daemon --stdio

       •  Run the daemon and force all connections to be trusted:

       # nix daemon --force-trusted

       •  Run the daemon and force all connections to be untrusted:

       # nix daemon --force-untrusted

       •  Run the daemon, listen on standard I/O, and force all	connections to
	  use Nix's default trust:

       # nix daemon --stdio --default-trust

Description
       This command runs the Nix daemon, which	is  a  required	 component  in
       multi-user  Nix installations. It runs build tasks and other operations
       on the Nix store	on behalf of non-root users. Usually you don't run the
       daemon directly;	instead	it's managed by	a service management framework
       such as systemd on Linux, or launchctl on Darwin.

       Note that this daemon does not fork into	the background.

Options
       •  --default-trust <#opt-default-trust>

	  Use Nix's default trust.

       •  --force-trusted <#opt-force-trusted>

	  Force	the daemon to trust connecting clients.

       •  --force-untrusted <#opt-force-untrusted>

	  Force	the daemon to not trust	connecting clients. The	connection  is
	  processed by the receiving daemon before forwarding commands.

       •  --process-ops	<#opt-process-ops>

	  Forces  the  daemon  to process received commands itself rather than
	  forwarding the commands straight to the remote store.

	     This is useful for	the `mounted-ssh://` store where some actions need to be performed on the remote end but as connected user, and	not as the user	of the underlying daemon on the	remote end.

       •  --stdio <#opt-stdio>

	  Attach to standard I/O, instead of trying to bind to a UNIX socket.

   Logging-related options
       •  --debug <#opt-debug>

	  Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

       •  --log-format <#opt-log-format> format

	  Set the format of log	output;	one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-
	  with-logs.

       •  --print-build-logs <#opt-print-build-logs> / -L

	  Print	full build logs	on standard error.

       •  --quiet <#opt-quiet>

	  Decrease the logging verbosity level.

       •  --verbose <#opt-verbose> / -v

	  Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global	options
       •  --help <#opt-help>

	  Show usage information.

       •  --offline <#opt-offline>

	  Disable substituters and consider all	 previously  downloaded	 files
	  up-to-date.

       •  --option <#opt-option> name value

	  Set	the  Nix  configuration	 setting  name	to  value  (overriding
	  nix.conf).

       •  --refresh <#opt-refresh>

	  Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

       •  --version <#opt-version>

	  Show version information.

	  Note

	  See man nix.conf <../../command-ref/conf-file.md#command-line-flags>
	  for overriding configuration settings	with command line flags.
