NixOS Docker Image for MacOS Development

This Docker image streamlines development on MacOS, particularly for aarch64-darwin systems. It solves two key challenges:

  1. Enables compilation of non-darwin Nix configurations on aarch64-darwin
  2. Provides Jetpack.io's Devbox as an intuitive package manager

Key Features

  • Uses Devbox for dependency management through a simple devbox.json file at project root
  • Offers a user-friendly abstraction layer over Nix
  • No prior Nix knowledge required
  • Seamless integration with MacOS development workflow

Perfect for developers who want Nix's power without its complexity, especially when working with cross-platform builds on Apple Silicon.

Sounds good but the CI has to be fixed before
