Davinci Resolve won't build on remote server, Help?

Help

So I recently setup a server of mine on my network that I use for Remote Nix Building as I use some things that propagate on my Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck. Building on those devices seem to be slow especially building the kernel and other large projects on my Laptop and Steam Deck so I’ve relied on my server to handle this, but I’ve ran into a problem in particular with Davinci Resolve.

Here’s the error I’m getting:

Running phase: buildPhase
no Makefile or custom buildPhase, doing nothing

I’m only installing it like environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ davinci-resolve ];

My Server isn’t a native NixOS install, instead it’s a Ubuntu noble 24.04 using the multi-user Nix: Package Manager installation. Everything else works perfectly, even kernel building and building of other larger more intense packages ONLY Davinci Resolve is having this issue. Building the system local works perfectly, no issues, but since I’m always running on the server so I can share my builds with my devices so this is causing a build issue every time I try.

Anyone know what’s going on?

For the time being, I fixed the issue by building Resolve on my Desktop and pushing it using nix copy. Here’s the command if anyone needs a example for now nix copy --to ssh://HOST $(NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix build nixpkgs#davinci-resolve --print-out-paths --impure)
