An independent package manager that every hacker deserves
There is also nix-portable (https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable), which is basically a drop-in replacement for normal nix that does everything required for no-root operation by itself when needed. Just put the single binary in your PATH and it's ready.

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
level (/nix/store/)
Yes, for cache hits to happen it has to be this way as far as I remember.
There is a project called nix-portable though that I've seen some HPC users report success with:

The Determinate Nix Installer
Great work Graham and team, I'll be switching to it on OSX.
I wonder if you took a look at some of the modifications done by portable-nix (https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable), most important ones being:
a) Allowing user to choose the location of the nix folder (for example $HOME/.nix) by using bwrap or proot
- is it possible to install the nix package manager with no root privleges?

Day 15 with silverblue, loving how rock stable the whole system feels! Exactly the kind of distro i've always wanted.

I made a nix-portable integration for direnv for my friend who doesn't want to install nix on his machine 😈
Yeah sadly nix-portable doesn't support macOS because of missing kernel features. They are also thinking about docker fallback though: https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable/issues/23 🤔😋

Introducing Riff, a Nix-based tool for automatically providing external dependencies to Rust projects
There is this: https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable but I agree we need an official solution

We want to make Nix better
Not entirely true, there are many ways in which you can use a custom location and still take advantage of the binary cache. You can do it with chroot, file system namespaces, bind mounts and so on. There's also a nice user friendly tool that does exactly this [1].

Nix Development Container
This is cool! In a similar vein, it's worth mentioning nix-portable is a thing. Same idea of containerization except it avoids docker. https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable

I use https://bob.build to switch between go versions in my build graph. It's like... ... build: cmd: go build dependencies: [go_1_18]

Is My Package Reproducible Yet?
Using Nix[0] should solve the reproducibility of a package. We use its package manager for bob[1] to achieve reproducible builds for projects.
