Does anyone have a recommendation for a hardware build and flake for a powerful server type machine (e.g. headless, with remote KVM built in or via dongle) that allows my lower/under powered nixos-driven machines at home to use via LAN as an external build computer when they update and build their configuration? Thanks ! #NixOS #nixosconfiguration #flakes #homelab #remotebuilds

@adingbatponder do you want to build everything gentoo style? My build server is a thinclient since it fetches most things from the nixos cache. I just have a systemd timer to evaluate all configs in my flake every night and serve the nix-store with nginx. All other machines pull from this and this works great.
Well it does a nix flake update as well, sort of a poor mans ci😅

@goeranh Sounds great. I saw a post https://floss.social/@aoristdual/115251665829942579 and is probably more like what I had in mind. But yours sounds professional

My little Chromebook doesn't have the juice to do a #NixOS evaluation... so I SSHed into my desktop _from_ the Chromebook and did `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#chromebook --target-host root@chromebook -s` and now I'm up-to-date. Spiffy.
