Building Nix Configurations

While there are numerous ways of building Nix configurations, one way to build nix configs in a non-linux environment is leveraging a Docker container. The general command for this approach is:

docker run --rm -it -v $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel):/build -w /build <nixDockerImage>@sha256<imageSHA256> /bin/sh

Command notes:

• Mounts a shared volume from the project's root with a new folder in the container, /build, allowing for the contents of the container to be shared with the host and vice verse
• nixDockerImage is a Docker image that has the nix commands preinstalled. This is one such image that can be used.
• imageSHA256 is the Docker image's digest, which safely pins the image to a specific version.
