Name
nix flake lock - create missing lock file entries
Synopsis
nix flake lock [option…] flake-url
Examples
|
• |
Create the lock file for the flake in the current directory: |
# nix flake lock
warning: creating lock file
’/home/myself/repos/testflake/flake.lock’:
⢠Added input ’nix’:
’github:NixOS/nix/9fab14adbc3810d5cc1f88672fde1eee4358405c’
(2023-06-28)
⢠Added input ’nixpkgs’:
’github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375’
(2023-06-30)

• |
Add missing inputs to the lock file for a flake in a different directory: |
# nix flake lock
~/repos/another
warning: updating lock file
’/home/myself/repos/another/flake.lock’:
⢠Added input ’nixpkgs’:
’github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375’
(2023-06-30)
Note
When trying to refer to a flake in a subdirectory, write ./another instead of another. Otherwise Nix will try to look up the flake in the registry.
Description
This command updates the lock file of a flake (flake.lock) so that it contains an up-to-date lock for every flake input specified in flake.nix. Lock file entries are already up-to-date are not modified.
If you want to update existing lock entries, use nix flake update
Options
Common evaluation options
|
• |
--arg name expr |
Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--arg-from-file name path |
Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--arg-from-stdin name |
Pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
--argstr name string |
Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.
|
• |
Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.
|
• |
--eval-store store-url |
The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store derivations (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.
|
• |
Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.
|
• |
--include / -I path |
Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths
This option may be given multiple times.
Paths added through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.
|
• |
--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref |
Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.
Common flake-related options
|
• |
Commit changes to the flake’s lock file.
|
• |
--inputs-from flake-url |
Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.
|
• |
Don’t allow lookups in the flake registries.
DEPRECATED
Use --no-use-registries instead.
|
• |
Do not allow any updates to the flake’s lock file.
|
• |
--output-lock-file flake-lock-path |
Write the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level flake.
|
• |
--override-input input-path flake-url |
Override a specific flake input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies --no-write-lock-file.
|
• |
Recreate the flake’s lock file from scratch.
DEPRECATED
Use nix flake update instead.
|
• |
--reference-lock-file flake-lock-path |
Read the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level flake.
|
• |
--update-input input-path |
Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).
DEPRECATED
Use nix flake update instead.
Logging-related options
|
• |
Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.
|
• |
--log-format format |
Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.
|
• |
--print-build-logs / -L |
Print full build logs on standard error.
|
• |
Decrease the logging verbosity level.
|
• |
--verbose / -v |
Increase the logging verbosity level.
Miscellaneous global options
|
• |
Show usage information.
|
• |
Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.
|
• |
--option name value |
Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).
|
• |
Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.
|
• |
During evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store. During building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.
|
• |
Show version information.
