I have achieved this two times with different configurations. Both times I followed https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/master/docs/DistributedQuickstart.md and asked questions in https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#build:mozilla.org. Each time I was mostly building mobile/android; I had issues targeting macOS (that I think I resolved, once). The first time I had three devices: a beefy Linux box, a Linux laptop, and a macOS laptop. I ran the scheduler and a builder on the beefy Linux box, I ran the Linux laptop as a builder, and the macOS laptop was (necessarily) a client. I used no authentication. The second I had two devices: the beefy Linux box and the macOS laptop. I used the in-office scheduler and ran the beefy Linux box as a builder. Much of the expertise here has moved on but hopefully we can get things working for folks.
