High-Performance OCI-Backed
Nix Binary Cache
Bridges the Nix ecosystem and standard container registries to act as a stateless, zero-infrastructure binary substituter.
$nix run github:ItzEmoji/aeroflare -- init
Core Capabilities
Architecture
Stateless Proxying
Retains zero local binary state. Streams .nar blobs directly from OCI.
Performance
O(1) Manifest Lookups
Tags artifacts directly with the 32-character Nix store path hash, enabling instantaneous lookups.
Storage
Native OCI Storage
Each package is one OCI image tagged with its store hash — NAR blobs as layers, .narinfo as manifest annotations. No separate metadata store.
Setup
Interactive Provisioning
Built-in setup wizard for GitHub, GitLab, and Cloudflare Worker deployment.
