With a binary cache that is not so bad, see for example what nix does.

  I don't really see how that's different from a normal binary install of a reproducible package. Especially with the lacking quality of a lot of Nix packages.

    It's not if you can pin the package. It gives you reproducable docker containers without having to rebuild the world. Wasn't that the entire question?

      Wasn't the question about modifying an existing image?
      • rowanG077 6mo ago
        No, it was about putting apt update in docker file and it not being reproducible.

    If you're in a situation where you want reproducibility you're using nix to build your own packages anyways, not relying on their packages
