add some documentation about using sccache with this image #147
Conversation
| On a mac, docker works differently, so if you are using the example command there, the files won't actually be owned by root, and also the `chown` command will be very slow. So on mac it is better to either skip | ||
| the `POST_BUILD_CMD`, or you could modify it so that it actually tests if we are root before doing the `chown`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
huh, TIL. guess that's what i get for never bothering to test mac.

actually there's some more stuff i was just reading about, apparently you can try to make sccache talk directly the github actions cache api instead of using a local directory to store and retrieve artifacts: https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/main/docs/GHA.md then there are various improvements people made to avoid getting rate limited... mozilla/sccache#2142 i haven't used any of this before. probably those who need it will find it on their own, i'm not having any problems with the setup i described here anyways |
yeah, all of that also sounds useful, i also have not tried these. in the meantime, merging this. thanks again! |
