Defaulting to max-jobs = auto should improve build times by using more
cores.
Setting always-allow-substitutes to true should cause all nix
derivations to be cached on cachix, which should improve performance of
the MacOS job dramatically, when no rebuilds need to happen.
The nix actions cache currently leads to repeated "no space left on
devices" errors for jobs in CI.
The prepopulate job is useless without the nix actions cache, so it
will go away at the same time.
The cache key for nix now depends on default.nix and shell.nix in the root folder and all
.patch files in the nix folder. Those may change the output of our nix derivations, so
must be included. At the same time, there is no reason to include the actions/setup-nix
folder. This would only lead to new caches being created every time we update one of the
dependent actions in this file. Finally, we never restore caches with a different id any-
more. There is no point in having the style job fall back to the static cache for example.
The cache keys for cabal can be more explicit: We only have one postgrest.cabal and one
relevant cabal.project file. We were missing the cabal.project.freeze file, though, which
affects the dependencies used, too.
* ci: try nix-community/cache-nix-action
* ci: add cache-id param to setup-nix action
* ci: tidy up cache keys for non-nix jobs
* ci: merge-nix-caches-linux job
* ci: merge caches other way around
* ci: reduce number of caches
Should prevent disk overflow
* ci: change cache id prefix for merge
* ci: comment out cache merging job
* ci: revert cache id prefix
* ci: setup-nix: use latest cache-nix-action
Among others, makes action logs look more tidy (see https://github.com/nix-community/cache-nix-action/commit/17d19d3d8be918757589635bc1a6830be0b129d2)
* ci: use test-pg cache key for loadtest
