@nebucatnetzer actually, Nix is the best possible way of building Docker images, IMO.
I prefer #OCIImages and #foss alternatives to the Docker way.

It takes some doing but the Nix way is sinhlehadedly causing the Docker people to rethink their system and its #nondeterminism.

I hope someday there is a Nix equivalent for #k8s #talos and other #microkernel architectures and it is definitely the relation between Nix and Docker that will bring that, IMO.
