Use cachix-action on a NixOS host

See original GitHub issue

What is the best way to set-up cachix on a NixOS host running with a services.github-runner?

As per the issue raised on the NixOS matrix channel, this is a log I got from my attempt.

 /nix/store/l0wlqpbsvh1pgvhcdhw7qkka3d31si7k-bash-5.1-p8/bin/bash -c nix-env --quiet -j8 -iA cachix -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/install
  error: opening lock file '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/github-runner/profile.lock': Read-only file system

Thanks! I’m closing this as it seems it’s possible to use cachix-action on a NixOS host. Please reopen if any issues persist.
