TIL (today I learned) that while you can install go in a container easily with nixery and you can run it offline. But if the project you want to compile requires a newer go version, it fails as it wants to download the actual go version...

Any idea how I can get a newer go into a #nixery container image? unstable seems to have 1.24.1 already...

Having #nix, #nixpkgs, #cachix and #nixery readily available - and portable - makes me think that #EndlessOS is not the only one who has skin in the game of decentralised software distribution.

As long as you have the storage space, you could build a binary cache of almost all the software available, and then distribute that from somewhere easily.

You can certainly use them to create an isolated test bench for software where you have full control over every dependency and version - as I have.
