Any plans to upstream this project to nixpkgs? #66

Just curious if there are any plans like that, maybe pushing go binary alone would be a good start?

Yes, i would like to upstream nix2container into nixpkgs.

I agree pushing the go binary would be a nice start since it would allow user to fetch it from the cache instead of building it.

Regarding the nix2container Nix library, we could do the same than poetry2nix even if it's far from being perfect: https://github.com/adisbladis/nixpkgs/blob/8493ebc89ce5ef1de16929f7c43a494892e12e8c/pkgs/development/tools/poetry2nix/poetry2nix/README.md

It might also be straightforward to set up a cachix cache. This (I just did it earlier) takes about 10 minutes, is free, and can be easily integrated with github actions.
