Options:
-o Flake output to build
-b Host to build on
-c Copy back built derivation after building
-n No signature check for copying back the built derivation
Build flake output .#foo on host bar.example.com
$ nix-remote-build -o .#foo -b bar.example.com
Build flake output nixpkgs#hello on host bar.example.com
$ nix-remote-build -o nixpkgs#hello -b bar.example.com
Build NixOS configuration of host foo on host bar.example.com and copy the result to the local machine
