nx-remotecache-minio

nx-remotecache-minio

A task runner for @nrwl/nx that uses an Minio Storage as a remote cache. This enables all team members and CI servers to share a single cache. The concept and benefits of computation caching are explained in the NX documentation.

This package was built with nx-remotecache-custom 🙌
