Minor updates to remote building documentation.
Motivation
In Nix 2.24.9,
nix store ping
produces a warning that it is a deprecated alias, so I updated the commands.I also added a list of requirements to assist with troubleshooting remote builds, and explained that it's the Nix daemon user that needs SSH access, not the interactive user.
Finally, I removed the
$
at the start of the commands, and split the commands and output.This is because the documentation site has a
copy
button for code samples, and if a$
is included, it is also copied to the clipboard along with the code, which is never what you want.
