(Help) Bundling my text editor (nvim) to be used inside a docker container
Bundling my flake derivation as an AppImage using nix-appimage. I successfully built an AppImage using this and copied it over to my container via the `docker cp` command, upon trying to run the AppImage inside of the container it complained about missing dependencies for bash, so unfortunately the AppImage isn't self-containing.

What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since i prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros.

How to minimize RAM usage during Go binary compilation
Although I haven't used plugins feature myself yet, this does sound like the perfect use case for them. Not every patient needs to access every single source. With plugins you can load only the source (or few sources) that they actually need. You can still use something like https://appimage.org/ to give them "a single binary", but will actually contain your slim binary and all the plugins.
