Agree. Using a container to build the source that is then packaged as a "binary" in the resulting container always seemed odd to me. imho we should have stuck with the old ways : build the product on a regular computer. That outputs some build artifacts (binaries, libraries, etc). Docker should take those artifacts and not be hosting the compiler and what not.
- rcxdude 10mo agoIf anything the build being in a container is the more valuable bit, though mainly because the container usually more repeatable by having a scripted setup itself. Though I dunno why the build and the host would be the _same_ container in the end. (and of course, nix kinda blows both out the water for consistency)
- exe34 10mo agonix allows you to build docker containers with anything you can build in nix.
