nix3-flake-archive(1)	     General Commands Manual	   nix3-flake-archive(1)

	    Warning
	    This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name
     nix flake archive - copy a flake and all its inputs to a store

Synopsis
     nix flake archive [option...] flake-url

Examples
     *	Copy the dwarffs flake and its dependencies to a binary cache:

     # nix flake archive --to file:///tmp/my-cache dwarffs

     *	Fetch the dwarffs flake and its dependencies to the local Nix store:

     # nix flake archive dwarffs

     *	Print  the  store  paths of the flake sources of NixOps without fetching
	them:

     # nix flake archive --json --dry-run nixops

     *	Upload all flake inputs to a different machine for remote evaluation

     # nix flake archive --to ssh://some-machine

	    On the remote machine the flake can then be accessed via  its  store
	    path. That's computed like this:

     # nix flake metadata --json | jq -r '.path'

Description
     Copy a flake and all its inputs to a store. This is useful i.e. to evaluate
     flakes on a different host.

Options
     *	--dry-run

	Show what this command would do without doing it.

     *	--json

	Produce  output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another pro-
	gram.

     *	--no-check-sigs

	Do not require that paths are signed by trusted keys.

     *	--no-pretty

	Print compact JSON output on a single line, even when the  output  is  a
	terminal.   Some  commands  may  print multiple JSON objects on separate
	lines.

		 See `--pretty`.

     *	--pretty

	Print multi-line, indented JSON output for readability.

		 Default: indent if output is to a terminal.

		 This option is only effective when `--json` is also specified.

     *	--to store-uri

	URI of the destination Nix store

   Common evaluation options
     *	--arg name expr

	Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--arg-from-file name path

	Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--arg-from-stdin name

	Pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--argstr name string

	Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--debugger

	Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

     *	--eval-store store-url

	The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e.  to  store  deriva-
	tions (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.

     *	--impure

	Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

     *	--include / -I path

	Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths

	This option may be given multiple times.

	Paths  added  through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration
	setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.

     *	--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

	Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

   Common flake-related options
     *	--commit-lock-file

	Commit changes to the flake's lock file.

     *	--inputs-from flake-url

	Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

     *	--no-registries

	Don't allow lookups in the flake registries.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use --no-use-registries instead.

     *	--no-update-lock-file

	Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file.

     *	--no-write-lock-file

	Do not write the flake's newly generated lock file.

     *	--output-lock-file flake-lock-path

	Write the given lock file instead of  flake.lock  within  the  top-level
	flake.

     *	--override-input input-path flake-url

	Override  a  specific  flake  input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies
	--no-write-lock-file.

     *	--recreate-lock-file

	Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

     *	--reference-lock-file flake-lock-path

	Read the given lock file instead  of  flake.lock  within  the  top-level
	flake.

     *	--update-input input-path

	Update	a  specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock
	file).

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

   Logging-related options
     *	--debug

	Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

     *	--log-format format

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

     *	--print-build-logs / -L

	Print full build logs on standard error.

     *	--quiet

	Decrease the logging verbosity level.

     *	--verbose / -v

	Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global options
     *	--help

	Show usage information.

     *	--offline

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

     *	--option name value

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

     *	--refresh

	Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

     *	--repair

	During	evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store.
	During building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.

     *	--version

	Show version information.

	Note

	See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line
	flags.
