# What is included in Nix's Docker image?
|
|
|
|
The official Docker image is created using `pkgs.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage`
|
|
(and not with `Dockerfile` as it is usual with Docker images). You can still
|
|
base your custom Docker image on it as you would do with any other Docker
|
|
image.
|
|
|
|
The Docker image is also not based on any other image and includes minimal set
|
|
of runtime dependencies that are required to use Nix:
|
|
|
|
- pkgs.nix
|
|
- pkgs.bashInteractive
|
|
- pkgs.coreutils-full
|
|
- pkgs.gnutar
|
|
- pkgs.gzip
|
|
- pkgs.gnugrep
|
|
- pkgs.which
|
|
- pkgs.curl
|
|
- pkgs.less
|
|
- pkgs.wget
|
|
- pkgs.man
|
|
- pkgs.cacert.out
|
|
- pkgs.findutils
|
|
|
|
# Docker image with the latest development version of Nix
|
|
|
|
To get the latest image that was built by [Hydra](https://hydra.nixos.org) run
|
|
the following command:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ curl -L https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/dockerImage.x86_64-linux/latest/download/1 | docker load
|
|
$ docker run -ti nix:2.5pre20211105
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also build a Docker image from source yourself:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ nix build ./\#hydraJobs.dockerImage.x86_64-linux
|
|
$ docker load -i ./result/image.tar.gz
|
|
$ docker run -ti nix:2.5pre20211105
|
|
```
