Upstream documentation: https://docs.gomods.io/
Athens is a Go module datastore and proxy
The main goal of Athens is providing a Go proxy ($GOPROXY) in regions without access to https://proxy.golang.org or to
improve the speed of Go module downloads for CI/CD systems.
Configuring
A complete list of options for the Athens module may be found here.
Basic usage for a caching proxy configuration
A very basic configuration for Athens that acts as a caching and forwarding HTTP proxy is:
{
services.athens = {
enable = true;
};
}
If you want to prevent Athens from writing to disk, you can instead configure it to cache modules only in memory:
{
services.athens = {
enable = true;
storageType = "memory";
};
}
To use the local proxy in Go builds (outside of nix), you can set the proxy as environment variable:
{
environment.variables = {
GOPROXY = "http://localhost:3000";
};
}
To also use the local proxy for Go builds happening in nix (with buildGoModule), the nix daemon can be configured to pass the GOPROXY environment variable to the goModules fixed-output derivation.
This can either be done via the nix-daemon systemd unit:
{
systemd.services.nix-daemon.environment.GOPROXY = "http://localhost:3000";
}
or via the impure-env experimental feature:
{
nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "configurable-impure-env" ];
nix.settings.impure-env = "GOPROXY=http://localhost:3000";
}
