<h2 id="synopsis">Synopsis</h2>
<p><code>nix help-stores</code> [<em>option</em>...] </p>
<p>Lix supports different types of stores. These are described below.</p>
<h3 id="store-url-format">Store URL format</h3>
<p>Stores are specified using a URL-like syntax. For example, the command</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">#</span><span class="c1"># nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org/ --json </span>
<span class="go"> /nix/store/a7gvj343m05j2s32xcnwr35v31ynlypr-coreutils-9.1</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>fetches information about a store path in the HTTP binary cache
located at https://cache.nixos.org/, which is a type of store.</p>
<p>Store URLs can specify <strong>store settings</strong> using URL query strings,
i.e. by appending <code>?name1=value1&amp;name2=value2&amp;...</code> to the URL. For
instance,</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>--store ssh://machine.example.org?ssh-key=/path/to/my/key
</code></pre></div>
<p>tells Lix to access the store on a remote machine via the SSH
protocol, using <code>/path/to/my/key</code> as the SSH private key. The
supported settings for each store type are documented below.</p>
<p>The special store URL <code>auto</code> causes Lix to automatically select a
store as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use the <a href="#local-store">local store</a> <code>/nix/store</code> if <code>/nix/var/nix</code>
is writable by the current user.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Otherwise, if <code>/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket</code> exists, <a href="#local-daemon-store">connect
to the Nix daemon listening on that socket</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Otherwise, on Linux only, use the <a href="#local-store">local chroot store</a>
<code>~/.local/share/nix/root</code>, which will be created automatically if it
does not exist.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Otherwise, use the <a href="#local-store">local store</a> <code>/nix/store</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="dummy-store">Dummy Store</h3>
<p><strong>Store URL format</strong>: <code>dummy://</code></p>
<p>This store type represents a store that contains no store paths and
cannot be written to. It's useful when you want to use the Nix
evaluator when no actual Nix store exists, e.g.</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">#</span><span class="c1"># nix eval --store dummy:// --expr &#39;1 + 2&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div>

<h3 id="local-store">Local Store</h3>
<p><strong>Store URL format</strong>: <code>local</code>, <em>root</em></p>
<p>This store type accesses a Nix store in the local filesystem directly
(i.e. not via the Nix daemon). <em>root</em> is an absolute path that is
prefixed to other directories such as the Nix store directory. The
store pseudo-URL <code>local</code> denotes a store that uses <code>/</code> as its root
directory.</p>
<p>A store that uses a <em>root</em> other than <code>/</code> is called a <em>chroot
store</em>. With such stores, the store directory is "logically" still
<code>/nix/store</code>, so programs stored in them can only be built and
executed by <code>chroot</code>-ing into <em>root</em>. Chroot stores only support
building and running on Linux when <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/mount_namespaces.7.html"><code>mount namespaces</code></a> and <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/user_namespaces.7.html"><code>user namespaces</code></a> are
enabled.</p>
<p>For example, the following uses <code>/tmp/root</code> as the chroot environment
to build or download <code>nixpkgs#hello</code> and then execute it:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">#</span><span class="c1"># nix run --store /tmp/root nixpkgs#hello</span>
<span class="go">Hello, world!</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Here, the "physical" store location is <code>/tmp/root/nix/store</code>, and
Nix's store metadata is in <code>/tmp/root/nix/var/nix/db</code>.</p>
<p>It is also possible, but not recommended, to change the "logical"
location of the Nix store from its default of <code>/nix/store</code>. This makes
it impossible to use default substituters such as
<code>https://cache.nixos.org/</code>, and thus you may have to build everything
locally. Here is an example:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="gp">#</span><span class="c1"># nix build --store &#39;local?store=/tmp/my-nix/store&amp;state=/tmp/my-nix/state&amp;log=/tmp/my-nix/log&#39; nixpkgs#hello</span>

<p>Allow this store to be opened when its <a href="../../../glossary/#gloss-nix-database">database</a> is on a read-only filesystem.</p>
<p>Normally Lix will attempt to open the store database in read-write mode, even for querying (when write access is not needed), causing it to fail if the database is on a read-only filesystem.</p>
<p>Enable read-only mode to disable locking and open the SQLite database with the <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/open.html"><code>immutable</code> parameter</a> set.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Do not use this unless the filesystem is read-only.</p>
<p>Using it when the filesystem is writable can cause incorrect query results or corruption errors if the database is changed by another process.
While the filesystem the database resides on might appear to be read-only, consider whether another user or system might have write access to it.</p>
