@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI think Nix in docker would definitely be useful, because people expect to be able to try things out in sandboxes17:10:45
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)there is already a nix docker image, but it's not made to integrates with the host system nix commands17:11:18
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossAppImage wouldn't really add anything over a static binary, since it's just a way of embedding more stuff into a static binary17:11:27
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossAh, well then not sure you can really add anything useful to that. I doubt anybody wants to run Nix in docker but with a host Nix daemon.17:11:54
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)the idea would be to run the nix daemon IN the docker :)17:12:13
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossohh17:12:28
@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)and have environment variables to make use of this nix daemon when you use your nix tools on your system like nix-shell17:12:29
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross I doubt there'd be much advantage to Flatpak? It's mostly used for GUI applications. The only thing I can see it adding over a static binary is that it manages updates, but then so does Docker. 17:12:52
