+# Remote Builds
+
+A local Nix installation can forward Nix builds to other machines,
+this allows multiple builds to be performed in parallel.
+
+Remote builds also allow Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
+semi-transparent way. For example, if you perform a build for a
+`x86_64-darwin` on an `i686-linux` machine, Nix can automatically
+forward the build to a `x86_64-darwin` machine, if one is available.
+
+## Requirements
+
+For a local machine to forward a build to a remote machine, the remote machine must:
+
+- Have Nix installed
+- Be running an SSH server, e.g. `sshd`
+- Be accessible via SSH from the local machine over the network

+## Testing
+
+To test connecting to a remote Nix instance (in this case `mac`), run:
+
+```console
+nix store info --store ssh://username@mac
+```
+
+To specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store URI add a
+query paramater, e.g.
+
+```console
+nix store info --store ssh://username@mac?ssh-key=/home/alice/my-key
+```
+
+Since builds should be non-interactive, the key should not have a
+passphrase. Alternatively, you can load identities ahead of time into
+`ssh-agent` or `gpg-agent`.
+
+In a multi-user installation (default), builds are executed by the Nix
+Daemon. The Nix Daemon cannot prompt for a passphrase via the terminal
+or `ssh-agent`, so the SSH key must not have a passphrase.
+
+In addition, the Nix Daemon's user (typically root) needs to have SSH
+access to the remote builder.
+
+Access can be verified by running `sudo su`, and then validating SSH
+access, e.g. by running `ssh mac`. SSH identity files for root users
+are usually stored in `/root/.ssh/` (Linux) or `/var/root/.ssh` (MacOS).
+
+If you get the error
+
+```console
+bash: nix: command not found
+error: cannot connect to 'mac'
+```
+
+then you need to ensure that the `PATH` of non-interactive login shells
+contains Nix.
+
+The [list of remote build machines](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-builders) can be specified on the command line or in the Nix configuration file.
+For example, the following command allows you to build a derivation for `x86_64-darwin` on a Linux machine:
+
+```console
+uname
+```
+
+```console
+Linux
+```
+
+```console
+nix build --impure \
+ --expr '(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
+ --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
+```
+
+```console
+[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
+```
+
+```console
+cat ./result
+```
+
+```console
+Darwin
+```
+
+It is possible to specify multiple build machines separated by a semicolon or a newline, e.g.
+
+```console
+  --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd'
+```
+
+Remote build machines can also be configured in [`nix.conf`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md), e.g.
+
+    builders = ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd
+
+After making changes to `nix.conf`, restart the Nix daemon for changes to take effect.
+
+Finally, remote build machines can be configured in a separate configuration
+file included in `builders` via the syntax `@/path/to/file`. For example,
+
+    builders = @/etc/nix/machines
+
+causes the list of machines in `/etc/nix/machines` to be included.
+(This is the default.)
