In that case, I think this change won't help you much as the host still needs to be NixOS-ish. This container deployment mechanism relies on the fact that NixOS shares...

I managed to find a Nix-specific way to circumvent this problem. From my perspective this is now less of an issue. --- For completeness' sake I am including the solution...
