Hello Ryan!
First of all thank you for your repositories and the flake book. I had learned a lot from your documentation.

I managed to install nixOS and boot orangepi5 from nvme ssd based on your notes in nixos-rk3588 repo.

Then I discovered your nix-config repo and started constructing similar repository of nixos boxes around me.
What I'm struggling to do is to remote rebuild rk3588 SBC with colmena without cross-build

Would you mind to share any hint if there is an easy way to do it?

This is what I tried, but failed:

[nix-shell:~/nix-config]$ colmena apply --on @suzu --build-on-target

Hint: Backtrace available - Use `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Altering system in here to aarch64_system didn't help either

I guess I'm missing something very essential... Still learning nix.

TIA
