    Nix flake containing my neovim configuration

  • At work I am (regrettably) using Ubuntu 22.04. Development happens within a monolith of a docker container. This container is complex enough that people are expected to develop from within the container because setting up all development dependencies any other way is too cumbersome. Most colleagues use PyCharm with a specific plugin. But I want to be able to use my trusty neovim (nvim). My current nvim setup is inside a flake. So I want to run the default output of that flake inside my docker container.

    Convert a nixos derivation into a self-contained binary

  • 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.
