even if the store is reachable with `nix store ping --store your_store_url`, the nix-daemon might not be able to reach it. nix-daemon operates as root so you need to make sure that the machine is reachable via ssh as root user.
- add the `-vvv` flags to show more information on the potential problem.
- make sure your store is reachable by the root user. `sudo ssh -i "your_ssh_key_path" your_user@your_hostname`
- make sure your ssh_config is set for the root user to access that server or that your builders configuration contains the ssh_key, user and hostname
