✨ NAME ✨

guix — bestie this is the manual page for guix publish (GNU Guix) 1.5.0rc1.47-fc2f5a. that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

guix publish [OPTION]...

that's it. that's the whole mood. you run guix publish and you feed it options. as many as your little heart desires. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the literal one-liner: Publish /gnu/store over HTTP. 🎀

no cap, that's the entire job. your store goes on the network. and then there's a whole pile of options, so let's go through them one by one because we are not skipping any, iykyk:

  • -p, --port=PORT — listen on PORT. the door your shop is open at 🚪
  • --listen=HOST — listen on the network interface for HOST. like, which interface you're saying hi from
  • -u, --user=USER — change privileges to USER as soon as possible. asap. immediately. don't wait 💨
  • -a, --advertise — advertise on the local network. letting the whole LAN know you exist, main character energy 👑
  • -C, --compression[=METHOD:LEVEL] — compress archives with METHOD at LEVEL. squeeze it, bestie 🗜️
  • -c, --cache=DIRECTORY — cache published items to DIRECTORY. keep the good stuff in a special little folder 🎀
  • --cache-bypass-threshold=SIZE — serve store items below SIZE even when not cached. tiny things don't need the cache, they just vibe ✨
  • --workers=N — use N workers to bake items. N workers. baking. that's the whole description and it ate 🍓
  • --ttl=TTL — announce narinfos can be cached for TTL seconds
  • --negative-ttl=TTL — announce missing narinfos can be cached for TTL seconds (yes babes, even the misses get a ttl 🙈)
  • --nar-path=PATH — use PATH as the prefix for nar URLs
  • --public-key=FILE — use FILE as the public key for signatures 🔑
  • --private-key=FILE — use FILE as the private key for signatures. guard this one with your life, fr 🤫
  • -r, --repl[=PORT] — spawn REPL server on PORT. yes, a whole REPL, she's interactive 💜
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. the classic. the icon. the legend 🫶
  • -V, --version — display version information and exit. who am i? what am i? 1.5.0rc1.47-fc2f5a, that's who 💅
