What Hacker News says?
https://github.com/LegendOfMiracles/dotnix/tree/master/hosts... (bottom lines describe the remote build logic) this is the actual config of the pi 3b... One other file also gets sourced: the defaults-nixos file in the root of the repo. And the distributed build host nix file describes creating a build user on my main machine. The setup is mostly mirrored from https://sgt.hootr.club/molten-matter/nix-distributed-buil…
