 asymmetric | i tried $(nix build .#container) | gzip --fast but it seems like the new nix command doesn't stream the image to stdout | 11:54:36 |
 lewo | asymmetric: I also tried to stream an streamLayeredImage image to Skopeo but I didn't succeed (it however worked with | docker load). Note I didn't try to figure out what's going on! | 16:37:31 |
| lewo | BTW, with nix2container, you could easily stream an image to Skopeo ;)
nix run github:nlewo/nix2container#examples.bash.copyTo SKOPEO-DEST-TRANSPORT
| 16:41:33 |
| asymmetric | ./result | gzip --fast | skopeo inspect docker-archive:/dev/stdin | 16:47:09 |
| asymmetric | this seems to work | 16:47:17 |
| asymmetric | you could do $(nix build .#foo) | ... | 16:47:30 |
| asymmetric | unless you're using fish 😠 | 16:47:44 |

you could do $(nix build .#foo) | ... no this does not work | 16:48:38 |
| asymmetric | nix build --no-link --json .#container | $(jq -r .[0].outputs.out) | gzip --fast | skopeo inspect docker-archive:/dev/stdin | 16:49:16 |
| asymmetric | ^ this does | 16:49:20 |

 Mic92 | Does docker also support zstd compression instead of gzip? That should make nix2container even faster | 06:06:37 |
| lewo | Mic92: yep, it does! | 08:00:35 |

| lewo | Mic92: Regarding the CI, do you know if it would be possible to run Docker container from a github action? | 08:31:58 |

Mic92: Regarding the CI, do you know if it would be possible to run Docker container from a github action? Yes. this is a feature. | 08:32:16 |
| Mic92 | I don't have a concrete example to point you to, but I have seen this | 08:32:34 |
| lewo | I meant, building all example and running them from a Github action. | 08:32:46 |
| lewo | * I meant, building all examples and running them from a Github action. | 08:32:52 |
| Mic92 | I think there was a docker daemon running as well? | 08:33:10 |
| lewo | I don't have any idea since i rarely use github actions | 08:33:43 |
| Mic92 | You can also push containers to github's registry and than pull them in the next step | 08:33:46 |
| Mic92 | zimbatm: might know this. | 08:34:02 |
| lewo | Mic92: yep, that would actually be possible | 08:34:09 |
| Mic92 | But maybe do some research. I think there are tons of example easily available. | 08:34:32 |
| Mic92 | It's a quite common use case | 08:34:42 |
| Mic92 | I recently also added podman as an unprivileged services in one ci system. | 08:36:10 |
| Mic92 | I needed it for docker-compose | 08:36:17 |
| Mic92 | There are also nix-shell envs available for this | 08:36:27 |
| Mic92 | This would be nice for local testing as well | 08:36:34 |
