See the man page for nix-push.  In short:

$ nix-push --dest /tmp/my-channel --bzip2 --manifest \
    --url-prefix http://my-server/my-channel \
    $(nix-build my-expr.nix -A my_package1 -A my_package2 ...)

and then serve /tmp/my-channel as http://my-server/my-channel.  Note that this
assumes Nix 1.2pre as the syntax of nix-push changed a bit.
