Docker images for the Nix package manager github 
This repository contains nix expressions to build a minimal docker image for the nix package manager. The current *official docker image for nix* docker is based on alpine, this image that is build from scratch and looks a lot more like nixos.
* nix, bash and coreutils are installed in a system profile that is linked to /run/current-system/sw, the only global paths are /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env
* it's easy to build a new custom baseimage using a specific version of nixpkgs, this makes it a lot easier to create an image with a custom version of nix or nixpkgs.
* the lnl7/nix:ssh image can be used to setup an image that can be used as a remote builder, this allows you to build expressions for x86_64-linux on other platforms (ex. building a new baseimage on a darwin machine)
