official docker image?

[wpcarro]

Is there an official nixery docker image somewhere? I found this: https://code.tvl.fyi/tree/tools/nixery/default.nix?id=1d705803#n105, but cannot seem to find it published anywhere.

Maybe the docs could have something like (pseudocode)

$ docker load -i $(nix-build https://code.tvl.fyi/depot.git -A tools.nixery.nixery-image --no-out-link)

Side note: why does the nix-build https://code.tvl.fyi/depot.git fail? (see screenshots)

Nope!

Feel free to send a CL (in Gerrit) :)

I'm not sure what that tries to do, but it's definitely not cloning a git repo, so I wouldn't expect it to work.

It's pseudocode for what Github supports:

$ nix-buld https://github.com/wpcarro/dotfiles/archive/main.tar.gz -A tools.nixery.nixery-image --no-out-link

It's pretty convenient if you:

1. Don't want a local clone of the repo
2. Just want the latest off of master/main/canon

Does cgit have something like this?

Just wondering, is it possible to just provide a nixery docker image at nixery.dev/nixery ? Is nixery capable of building itself this way?

@chaserhkj In theory it could, if it was added to nixpkgs

I have a repo that builds a helm chart and docker image using the GitHub mirror. See GHCR image + oci chart here
