This is a fantastic feature! I’m currently working on a nix installer (for learning more about Nix’s own environment) and the nario subcommand would be a godsend when upgrading nix itself (given your nix binary distribution also publishes narios).
What is the advantage of this over nix copy --to file:///path/to/archive on one machine, and then nix copy --all --from file:///path/to/archive on the recipient? I used file:// because it’s nice and compressed but an absolute path for a straight copy works too.
