## Why Add Custom Cache Servers {#why-add-custom-cache-servers}

Two reasons:
1. Add cache servers for some third-party projects, such as the nix-community cache server
[https://nix-community.cachix.org](https://nix-community.cachix.org), which can
significantly improve the build speed of these third-party projects.
2. Adding a mirrored cache server to accelerate downloads.
1. The access speed of the official cache server in China is slow. Without a local
global proxy, it is almost unusable. Adding Chinese Nix cache mirrors like
ustc/sjtu/tuna can alleviate this issue.
1. Add cache server mirror sites closest to the user to speed up downloads.

More users may prefer to directly speed up package downloads by using a HTTP/Socks5 proxy
Some users may prefer to directly speed up package downloads by using a HTTP/Socks5 proxy
running on their machine. Here's how to set it up. Using methods like
`export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890` in the Terminal will not work because the
actual work is done by a background process called `nix-daemon`, not by commands directly

两个原因:
1. 添加一些第三方项目的缓存服务器,例如 nix-community 的缓存服务器
<https://nix-community.cachix.org>,这可以大大提升这些第三方项目的构建速度。
1. 添加离用户最近的缓存服务器镜像站,用于加速下载。
1. 官方缓存服务器在中国的访问速度非常慢,如果没有局域网全局代理的话,基本上是无法使用
的。添加国内的 ustc/sjtu/tuna 等 Nix 缓存镜像源可以缓解此问题。

虽然前面提到了,旁路网关可以完全解决 NixOS 的包下载速度问题,但是旁路网关的配置比较麻烦,
而且经常需要额外的硬件支持。

直接在 Terminal 中使用 `export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890` 这类方式是无法生效的,因
为 nix 实际干活的是一个叫 `nix-daemon` 的后台进程,而不是直接在 Terminal 中执行的命令。
