You are attempting to build *linux
Hello Andreas,
It is definitely possible to use NixOps on OS X without a Linux build
machine. I've done it recently by installing NixOps directly from Hydra
using "nix-install-package", and then using NixOps with a clone of
nixpkgs/master in my NIX_PATH (rather than a clone of joelteon/master).
I should also add that you could just as easily check out the revision of
the stable channel if you prefer (currently 676e8d7, found at
https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-14.12/).

Note that in order to build packages on the virtual Linux box, you need to
be able to ssh to it as root.
Nixops doesn't set that up for nix-build, which is why it fails to build.
(this may be a security thing, not sure)
So once you deployed and it fails to build, do a "nixops ssh" to the Linux
vm
Recently, I haven't had any problems with building and SSH keys when doing
"nixops deploy" to a VM on OS X after using the setup process outlined in
my first email to this thread.

Thank you all for your input. I'll report what worked for me.
