I think the problem is that it all feels so "one off", so Docker feels like the better option. Taken as a whole I guess all those one-offs in Nix will hopefully lead to something better in the end, there seems to be a lot of work behind the scenes here.

For us Docker is how we manage reproducibility, and it's pretty damn fine in so many ways, most certainly a lot better than Nix for the most part.

A lot better than Nix? With all the security vulnerabilities and lack of efficient storage? Though honestly this setup for a one-off system is a bit much. For the most part I use the system level nix-R configuration instead (explained in the previous post).
