sccache looks for its configuration file at the path indicated by env variable `SCCACHE_CONF`.
If no such env variable is set, sccache looks at default locations as below:
- Linux: `~/.config/sccache/config`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla.sccache/config`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Mozilla\sccache\config\config`
## env
Whatever is set by a file based configuration, it is overruled by the env
configuration variables
### misc
* `SCCACHE_ALLOW_CORE_DUMPS` to enable core dumps by the server
* `SCCACHE_CONF` configuration file path
* `SCCACHE_CACHED_CONF`
* `SCCACHE_IDLE_TIMEOUT` how long the local daemon process waits for more client requests before exiting, in seconds. Set to `0` to run sccache permanently
* `SCCACHE_STARTUP_NOTIFY` specify a path to a socket which will be used for server completion notification
* `SCCACHE_MAX_FRAME_LENGTH` how much data can be transferred between client and server
* `SCCACHE_NO_DAEMON` set to `1` to disable putting the server to the background
* `SCCACHE_CACHE_MULTIARCH` to disable caching of multi architecture builds.
### cache configs
#### disk (local)
* `SCCACHE_DIR` local on disk artifact cache directory
* `SCCACHE_CACHE_SIZE` maximum size of the local on disk cache i.e. `2G` - default is 10G
* `SCCACHE_DIRECT` enable/disable preprocessor caching (see [the local doc](Local.md))
#### s3 compatible
* `SCCACHE_BUCKET` s3 bucket to be used
* `SCCACHE_ENDPOINT` s3 endpoint
* `SCCACHE_REGION` s3 region, required if using AWS S3
* `SCCACHE_S3_USE_SSL` s3 endpoint requires TLS, set this to `true`
The endpoint used then becomes `${SCCACHE_BUCKET}.s3-{SCCACHE_REGION}.amazonaws.com`.
If you are not using the default endpoint and `SCCACHE_REGION` is undefined, it
will default to `us-east-1`.
#### cloudflare r2
* `SCCACHE_BUCKET` is the name of your R2 bucket.
* `SCCACHE_ENDPOINT` must follow the format of `https://<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`. Note that the `https://` must be included. Your account ID can be found [here](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/basic-tasks/find-account-and-zone-ids/).
* `SCCACHE_REGION` should be set to `auto`.
#### redis
* `SCCACHE_REDIS` full redis url, including auth and access token/passwd
The full url appears then as `redis://user:passwd@1.2.3.4:6379/1`.
#### memcached
* `SCCACHE_MEMCACHED` memcached url
#### gcs
* `SCCACHE_GCS_BUCKET`
* `SCCACHE_GCS_CREDENTIALS_URL`
* `SCCACHE_GCS_KEY_PATH`
* `SCCACHE_GCS_RW_MODE`
#### azure
* `SCCACHE_AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING`
#### gha
* `SCCACHE_GHA_CACHE_URL` / `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` GitHub Actions cache API URL
* `SCCACHE_GHA_RUNTIME_TOKEN` / `ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN` GitHub Actions access token
* `SCCACHE_GHA_CACHE_TO` cache key to write
* `SCCACHE_GHA_CACHE_FROM` comma separated list of cache keys to read from
