Set up an experimental mTLS-authenticated binary cache endpoint to test the nix client certificate authentication feature from NixOS/nix#13030. The setup uses clan vars to generate a self-signed CA and client certificate pair. Nginx is configured to require client certificate verification against this CA before proxying to the harmonia backend. This allows testing the new nix substituter options: tls-certificate=/path/to/client.crt tls-private-key=/path/to/client.key Tested with: nix copy --from 'https://cache2.thalheim.io?tls-certificate=~/.nix-mtls/client.crt&tls-private-key=~/.nix-mtls/client.key' /nix/store/i3zw7h6pg3n9r5i63iyqxrapa70i4v5w-hello-2.12.2

Set up an experimental mTLS-authenticated binary cache endpoint to test
the nix client certificate authentication feature from NixOS/nix#13030.
The setup uses clan vars to generate a self-signed CA and client
certificate pair. Nginx is configured to require client certificate
verification against this CA before proxying to the harmonia backend.
This allows testing the new nix substituter options:
tls-certificate=/path/to/client.crt
tls-private-key=/path/to/client.key
Tested with:
nix copy --from 'https://cache2.thalheim.io?tls-certificate=~/.nix-mtls/client.crt&tls-private-key=~/.nix-mtls/client.key' /nix/store/i3zw7h6pg3n9r5i63iyqxrapa70i4v5w-hello-2.12.2
