If you have a different machine with more ram and compute, you can use 'nixos-rebuild --target-host=<server> switch'. That does all the nix building on the local machine, and then just copies binaries and activates the built configuration on the remote machine.

you don't need to have nixos to have nixos-rebuild installed. Just nix
