Remote builds are easy to talk about and annoying to operationalize.

This video walks through a straightforward setup: a Python Fabric file runs commands over SSH, the repo gets cloned on the remote machine, the build runs, and logs are saved so you can actually debug after the fact.

The demo uses username and password auth for simplicity. In a real environment you’d use keys or SSH certificates.

If you’re doing remote builds today, what’s your setup?
