Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

Just wanted to share a some of the information I’ve learned. Cheers!

I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.

I almost feel bad that I haven’t. I’ve used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I’ve been having fun with NixOS.

Just wait until you get these idiots:

Countries can do a lot of things. You’re discussing something that didn’t happen though.

According to the article, we sanctioned Venezuela, and they ignored those sanctions to purchase and smuggle a plane from the US.

The sanctions themselves are a separate discussion, but I think a reasonable person could expect some form of consequence. To be clear, I’m not defending the sanctions. I haven’t spent enough time reading about them to form an opinion.

?

Was Air Force One illegally purchased in China and smuggled out?

Thanks for posting. I was unaware of current events. That’s quite the rabbit hole!
