- wlib 5y agoIt is, nix is more declarative than a dockerfile and can even optimize the layers based on the dependency graph. See https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images for a good explanation and https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-pkgs-dockerTools https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-pkgs-dockerTool... for all of nix’s container related documentation.
