 @timdeh:matrix.org | I mean, if nobody else does, I intend to try it someday as well | 20:53:33 |
 David Arnold (blaggacao) | Seems to work with appropriate privilidges. | 20:53:45 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | And redhat ses to have a wrapper that make it work without privilidges. | 20:54:10 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | did you find some example already? | 20:54:33 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Redacted or Malformed Event | 20:54:44 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | https://github.com/projectatomic/oci-systemd-hook | 20:54:46 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | oh wow, I don't know how I didn't find that when I looked 😅 | 20:55:19 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | So it seems actually pretty feasible in practice. Which really presses the question why the nixos ecosystem seems incapable of embracing it. | 20:55:43 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | It is at risk of being horribly outdated though it seems | 20:55:46 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I think the only real answer is: bias | 20:55:54 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Maybe, or maybe this project was abandoned 3 years ago for a reason? 😅 | 20:56:15 |

It is at risk of being horribly outdated though it seems I assume because a better solution exists, already. | 20:56:21 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I hope you are right | 20:56:31 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | 🤞 | 20:56:35 |

Maybe, or maybe this project was abandoned 3 years ago for a reason? 😅 I think it was attempted for a reason. :sm | 20:57:21 |

Maybe, or maybe this project was abandoned 3 years ago for a reason? 😅 * I think it was attempted for a reason. :smile: | 20:57:27 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Oh yeah definitely | 20:57:43 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I would love it if NixOS containers were OCI compliant, for obvious, work reasons 😛
And I'm sure I'm not the only one. | 20:58:11 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Doesn't seem too outdated: https://github.com/projectatomic/oci-systemd-hook/releases/tag/v0.2.0 | 21:00:16 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | There have been 6 or 7 systemd releases since then though, and given how little they seem to care for backwards compat at times, that may be an issue | 21:02:52 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | What's the benefit of using nixos containers then, at all? | 21:03:27 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | isolation I guess? | 21:03:42 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | false sense of security maybe 😛 | 21:03:51 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | OCI containers have isolation, too. | 21:03:54 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | so the only delta is systemd. | 21:04:02 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | which nobody needs or wants when running containers. | 21:04:12 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | yeah exactly, but if you don't want to resuse the NixOS module ecosystem, then you really don't have to care too much | 21:04:38 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | It's only if you do | 21:04:43 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | yeah, the nix-os module system's config database. | 21:05:29 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Otoh, a container would typically run only a binary... | 21:05:57 |
