Self-Host the Remote Cache

The recommended way to enable the remote cache is to use Nx Replay and have Nx Cloud share the task cache across your organization. For those organizations that are unable to use Nx Cloud, Nx offers official plugins that are enabled by Nx Powerpack to self-host the remote cache in a fast and secure manner. The recommended ways to host the remote cache are, in order of preference:

1. Nx Replay: Cache is hosted on Nx Cloud servers or on-premise with an Nx Enterprise contract
2. @nx/powerpack-s3-cache: Cache is on a self-hosted, fully secure AWS S3 bucket
3. @nx/powerpack-shared-fs-cache: Cache is self-hosted and self-secured on a shared file system location

The options range from fully opting in to Nx's management of the remote cache to fully managing the configuration and security of your own remote cache.

Setup

The @nx/powerpack-s3-cache and @nx/powerpack-shared-fs-cache plugins require an Nx Powerpack license to function. Activating Powerpack is a simple process.

Then, choose the appropriate cache plugin for your situation.

Switch to Nx Cloud

These custom remote cache storage solutions only provide the remote cache functionality of Nx Cloud. If you want to leverage distributed task execution, re-running flaky tasks or automatically splitting tasks, you'll need to connect to Nx Cloud and use Nx Cloud's remote cache solution instead.
