pixie

Yet another Docker image for Nix.

Notes

• terrorjack/pixie:latest only contains Nix; terrorjack/pixie:debian is based on Debian sid, terrorjack/pixie:ubuntu on Ubuntu disco.
• nixpkgs and apt repositories are stripped from the images. Run nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable && nix-channel --update to retrieve the latest release of nixpkgs, apt update to update apt repositories.
• For basic usage on CircleCI, install nixpkgs.{gitMinimal,openssh} before checkout. Additionally, CircleCI caching require nixpkgs.{gnutar,gzip}.
• LANG is set to en_US.utf8 in both images.
• For fontconfig to find the default config file, set FONTCONFIG_FILE=$(nix eval --raw nixpkgs.fontconfig.out.outPath)/etc/fonts/fonts.conf. In the Nix/Debian hybrid image, it's already set to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, but you still need to apt install fontconfig manually first.
• For nix-env -q to work, install less.
• For manpages to work, install {gzip,less,man}.
• Automatic detection of CPU core number on CircleCI is unreliable, please manually set core number based on the resource class (--cores 2 for the default medium class).
