Distribute base container image
Akin to https://hub.docker.com/r/nixos/nix but using detsys nix
This would be very useful for environment parity. I am starting to use detsys Nix, and would like to easily make my production applications and GitLab CI jobs to use it as well.
This would be very useful!
@grahamc Hi!
Are there any updates on this?
So, one reason we haven't done this yet is because we can't easily get FlakeHub authentication and FlakeHub Cache to work inside the container. Is that an important property to preserve, or would simply putting the non-daemon Nix part in a container be sufficient?

For our specific use case, just having the non-daemon nix part would be enough for now.
One important thing to keep would be the nixbld* users and groups structure, just like current nixos/nix container does.
Is running the CLI install command on an ubuntu base image problematic? Or alpine?
