How to exclude source repo from container #1420

How can I create a container that doesn't include the source repo. According to the documentation I should use copyToRoot = null;, but this is no longer allowed (see https://github.com/cachix/devenv/issues/1265). What is the recommended approach now?

Tried with copyToRoot = [ ];, worked almost as it build the container. But coudn't exec into the container due to the home directory missing.

✦ ❯ docker run -it example
mkdir: cannot create directory '/env/.devenv': Permission denied
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/env/.devenv/profile': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/env/.devenv/run': No such file or directory
