And that's why you use Nix to build your Docker images!

Do you mean to install Nix and then defer to that to build the image or for the image to be configured and setup on deployment? Genuinely interested if you have any insightful docs or pages on this.

Probably the former. The functions in nixpkgs are documented here: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-pkgs-dockerTo...

Here’s a post from Mitchell Hashimoto of Hashicorp about doing just that: https://mitchellh.com/writing/nix-with-dockerfiles

Thank you
