This is a really fascinating idea, and he presents clearly the problems with Dockerfiles and determinism. But, none of the links to his repositories are available anymore. It's a pity, I really wanted to see how you can replace Docker with Nix.
- justinsaccount 5y agoLooks like he renamed (or recreated) the repository: https://github.com/wagdav/wagdav.github.com/blob/main/flake.nix https://github.com/wagdav/wagdav.github.com/blob/main/flake....
- xrd 5y agoThere is something ironic about writing about Nix, which touts immutability as one of the incredible benefits, and having all the links broken in that post.
- lilyball 5y agoIt’s reproducibility that’s the benefit, not immutability. The fact that the Nix store is immutable is just an artifact of being a content-addressed store, not actually the point of anything.
