What problem does it solve?

Nix-based container images allow building OCI and local containers without Docker, enabling fully reproducible images with minimal runtime closures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • dockerTools.buildImage, dockerTools.buildLayeredImage, dockerTools.streamLayeredImage
  • nix2container, devenv container, and OCI/NixOS container support for flexible deployments
  • Layer optimization and closure analysis for efficient, reliable container deployments

Quick Start

Define a Nix expression for your image and build it with nix build .#dockerImage, then load the resulting tarball into your container runtime.
