What happened?

I deployed a microVM, choosing NixOS as the OS option. But in terminal:

testmemproof:/etc/nix# cat /etc/*release
3.16.3
NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.16.3
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.16"
HOME_URL="https://alpinelinux.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues"
testmemproof:/etc/nix#

What did you expect?

That this would be a nixos machine

Seems indeed this image would be better described as Alpine with Nix package manager inside. Build files are here.

If the nixos/nix Docker image would be what you're looking for, you can easily convert it to an flist to run as a micro VM using the Hub's converter function.
