          The default value is set when Nix itself is compiled for the system it will run on.

             The hostname may be an alias defined in `~/.ssh/config`.

          2. A comma-separated list of [Nix system types](@docroot@/contributing/hacking.md#system-type).
             If omitted, this defaults to the local platform type.

             > **Example**

          4. The maximum number of builds that Nix will execute in parallel on the machine.
             Typically this should be equal to the number of CPU cores.

          5. The “speed factor”, indicating the relative speed of the machine as a positive integer.
             If there are multiple machines of the right type, Nix will prefer the fastest, taking load into account.

          6. A comma-separated list of supported [system features](#conf-system-features).

             A machine will only be used to build a derivation if all the features in the derivation's [`requiredSystemFeatures`](@docroot@/language/advanced-attributes.html#adv-attr-requiredSystemFeatures) attribute are supported by that machine.

          7. A comma-separated list of required [system features](#conf-system-features).

             A machine will only be used to build a derivation if all of the machine’s required features appear in the derivation’s [`requiredSystemFeatures`](@docroot@/language/advanced-attributes.html#adv-attr-requiredSystemFeatures) attribute.

          8. The (base64-encoded) public host key of the remote machine.
             If omitted, SSH will use its regular `known_hosts` file.

             The value for this field can be obtained via `base64 -w0`.

          > **Example**
          >
          > Multiple builders specified on the command line:

          > For regular builds, `itchy` will be preferred over `scratchy` because it has a higher speed factor.

          This options specifies the Unix group containing the Nix build user

          crafted builders; and they cannot be performed by the calling user
          since that would allow him/her to influence the build result.

          Therefore, if this option is non-empty and specifies a valid group,
          builds will be performed under the user accounts that are a member
          of the group specified here (as listed in `/etc/group`). Those user

          Nix will never run two builds under the same user account at the

          user writing a Nix expression that modifies the build result of a
          legitimate Nix expression being built by another user. Therefore it

          Optional. The path to a program to execute after each build.

          This option is only settable in the global `nix.conf`, or on the
          command line by trusted users.

          When using the nix-daemon, the daemon executes the hook as `root`.
          If the nix-daemon is not involved, the hook runs as the user
          executing the nix-build.

            - The hook executes after an evaluation-time build.

            - The hook does not execute on substituted paths.

            - The hook's output always goes to the user's terminal.

            - If the hook fails, the build succeeds but no further builds
              execute.

            - The hook executes synchronously, and blocks other builds from
              progressing while it runs.

          The program executes with no arguments. The program's environment
          contains the following environment variables:

            - `DRV_PATH`
              The derivation for the built paths.

              Example:
              `/nix/store/5nihn1a7pa8b25l9zafqaqibznlvvp3f-bash-4.4-p23.drv`

            - `OUT_PATHS`
              Output paths of the built derivation, separated by a space
              character.

          If you already have Nix installed and are using [profiles](@docroot@/package-management/profiles.md) or [channels](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-channel.md), you should migrate manually when you enable this option.
