# docker-nixpkgs: docker images from nixpkgs
|
|
|
|
This project is a collection of docker images automatically produced with Nix
|
|
and the latest nixpkgs package set. All the images are refreshed daily with
|
|
the latest versions of nixpkgs.
|
|
|
|
It's also a good demonstration on how to build and publish Docker images with
|
|
Nix.
|
|
|
|
Always keep your docker images fresh!
|
|
|
|
## Why use Nix to build docker images?
|
|
|
|
Nix has a number of advantages over Dockerfile when producing docker images:
|
|
|
|
* builds are actually reproducible
|
|
* Nix will only rebuild the minimum set of changes
|
|
* Nix can produce automatic optimised layers for you
|
|
* nixpkgs provides automatic security updates
|
|
|
|
## Example usage
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of using one of the docker images. Usage will change from
|
|
image to image.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# run the curl image which has curl as an entry-point
|
|
$ docker run -ti --rm nixpkgs/curl http://ifconfig.co
|
|
180.52.248.114
|
|
```
