TIL you can use #Nix to run entire builds on a remote system, just by adding `--build-host <hostname>` to nixos-rebuild, as long as you have SSH access. I built a custom kernel for my Surface Pro on my server and it just worked. For all its faults and flaws, it's still a really amazing tool

#NixOS #Linux

Never tried that. Can you answer the question that came to my mind when reading your post? Does the remote need to have nix installed?
