# 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
- Have the local machine's public SSH key in `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<username>`
- Have the username of the SSH user in the `trusted-users` setting in `nix.conf`
## 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.)

`@docroot@` provides a base path for links that occur in reusable snippets or other documentation that doesn't have a base path of its own.
If a broken link occurs in a snippet that was inserted into multiple generated files in different directories, use `@docroot@` to reference the `doc/manual/src` directory.

If the `@docroot@` literal appears in an error message from the [`mdbook-linkcheck`] tool, the `@docroot@` replacement needs to be applied to the generated source file that mentions it.

The tests for each Nix library (`libnixexpr`, `libnixstore`, etc..) live inside a directory `src/${library_name_without-nix}-test`.
Given an interface (header) and implementation pair in the original library, say, `src/libexpr/value/context.{hh,cc}`, we write tests for it in `src/nix-expr-tests/value/context.cc`, and (possibly) declare/define additional interfaces for testing purposes in `src/nix-expr-test-support/tests/value/context.{hh,cc}`.

Data for unit tests is stored in a `data` subdir of the directory for each unit test executable.
For example, `libnixstore` code is in `src/libstore`, and its test data is in `src/nix-store-tests/data`.
For example, `libnixstore` code is in `src/libstore`, and its test data is in `src/libstore-tests/data`.
The path to the `src/${library_name_without-nix}-test/data` directory is passed to the unit test executable with the environment variable `_NIX_TEST_UNIT_DATA`.
Note that each executable only gets the data for its tests.
