It is currently not possible to use the local proxy for builds done by the Nix daemon. This might be enabled

by experimental features, specifically [`configurable-impure-env`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/experimental-features#xp-feature-configurable-impure-env),

in upcoming Nix versions.
 
To also use the local proxy for Go builds happening in `nix` (with `buildGoModule`), the nix daemon can be configured to pass the GOPROXY environment variable to the `goModules` fixed-output derivation.



This can either be done via the nix-daemon systemd unit:



```nix

{

  systemd.services.nix-daemon.environment.GOPROXY = "http://localhost:3000";

}

```



or via the [impure-env experimental feature](https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.24/command-ref/conf-file#conf-impure-env):



```nix

{

  nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "configurable-impure-env" ];

  nix.settings.impure-env = "GOPROXY=http://localhost:3000";

}

```
