📦 version 0.10.2, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 DISNIX-BUILD(1) — build store derivations on target machines 💖

okay so this is the User Commands manual page for DISNIX-BUILD(1), and yes bestie, we're getting into distributed build territory. It's giving coordinator-machine main character energy 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

disnix-build — build store derivations on target machines in a network. Literally the build-on-targets girlie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

disnix-build [OPTION] DISTRIBUTED_DERIVATION

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the command disnix-build builds derivations on the given target machines specified in a distributed derivation XML file. No cap. When the building process is complete, the results are transferred back to the coordinator machine, so that they are kept for further use and do not have to be rebuilt again in case of a configuration change. Iconic behavior, honestly 🎀

In most cases this command should not be called directly. The command disnix-env automatically uses this command if the --build-on-targets is specified. So like… let the main character call it for you, iykyk 🌸

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -m, --max-concurrent-transfers=NUM — Maximum amount of concurrent closure transfers. Defauls to: 2. Yes, the page literally says “Defauls,” and we are not fixing the icon. Periodt 💀
  • -h, --help — Shows the usage of this command to the user.
  • -v, --version — Shows the version of this command to the user.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DISNIX_TARGET_PROPERTY — Specifies which property in the infrastructure Nix expression specifies how to connect to the remote interface (defaults to: hostname). Slay, environment variable 🦋
