  • nix2container

    An archive-less dockerTools.buildImage implementation

    Project mention: Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-15

    No discussion about Nix-built containers is complete with nix2container:

    https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container

    It is truly magical for handling large, multi-layered containers. Instead of building the container archives themselves and storing them in the nix store, it builds a JSON manifest that is consumed by a lightly patched version of skopeo that streams the layers directly to either your local container engine or the registry.

    This means you never rebuild or reupload a container layer that is unchanged.
