    More Declarative Containers with NixOS

    In newer versions of NixOS it's possible to use Docker directly in your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix!

    Example from that page:

     { config, pkgs, ... }:
     {
       config.docker-containers = {
         hackagecompare = {
           image = "chrissound/hackagecomparestats-webserver:latest";
           ports = ["127.0.0.1:3010:3010"];
           volumes = [
             "/root/hackagecompare/packageStatistics.json:/root/hackagecompare/packageStatistics.json"
           ];
           cmd = [
             "--base-url"
             "\"/hackagecompare\""
           ];
         };
       };
     }
    

    I've moved to this format as it's a bit cleaner and simpler to use for syncing container images than rkt wound up being.
