  • nix2container

    An archive-less dockerTools.buildImage implementation

    • For a more modern iteration of that idea, check out https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container

    It has all the benefits of OP but produces the images much faster, and with less on-disk usage.

  • colima

    Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

    • I've had good success running w/ https://github.com/abiosoft/colima as an alternative to Docker Desktop.

    I'm on an M1 mac, and it's nice to be able to debug both arm64/x86_64 in the same toolchain (via QEMU virtualization).
