Subject: [PATCH] Cache nix builds on main (#921)

* cache nix artifacts to cache server instead of uploading them

* Revert "cache nix artifacts to cache server instead of uploading them"

This reverts commit d9ffaeda9299b92f766ad82b86e0b5c67adf4aa6.

* Revert "Revert "cache nix artifacts to cache server instead of uploading them""

This reverts commit 707b4165353901ca162a0ee7d216827757e3c337.

* only run on main

the motivation for this is to not completly fill my cache server instantly (which only has 15gb)

* push the store path instead of the result path
