does not bootstrap system.build.etc aka /etc/ which means you should probably avoid nix-docker until it does #25

FROM lnl7/nix:2.1.2

# baseline
RUN nix-env -iA nixpkgs.busybox 

# trust/use these 3rd party caches

busybox binaries have much less functionality than the gnu versions, installing it globally is generally a bad idea and probably causing problems.

Ah no. The real issue is system.build.etc aka /etc/ isn't bootstrapped in the docker image. That was just a quick and easy way to demonstrate it.

LnL7 commented 5 years ago

Not sure what that means.

Bootstrapping etc will fix this problem and https://github.com/LnL7/nix-docker/issues/9

That's a nixos module. I still don't understand the problem or how it's related to the image.
