Using Fly.io as a remote builder for nixpkgs
A service I enjoy using, and write about often, is fly.io, as it lets me have compute on demand, without having to worry about provisioning and managing it an entire server. Editors Note: This was a fun experiment, but you are likely better off using a managed service such as nixbuild.net for anything even resembling a production use case. One of my latest use cases for it, is to offload building of nixpkgs from my low powered laptop, to a remote builder on fly where I can provision as many resources as I need, for as short of a period of time as needed....
