OpenCode with superpowers. It can do everything in a container with Docker / Nix

The user cases could be very different. Personally, I like the idea to run AI agents like opencode in a sandbox, but I also want it to be able to install software without sudo. Have a look at flake.nix (it's like a Dockerfile in this context). There's opencode but also some permission tweaks to use the container as user instead of root.

If you have a better idea to accomplish that, suggestions are welcome.

I have no need for nix, I have containers via dagger

You can find my alternative on github, same handle

Odd thing to proclaim, as Nix and Dagger-orchestrated containers are not 1:1?

they don't have to be 1:1 for me to have all the features I need

I don't see the value of adding nix to my toolbox when

1. I already have tools that do the same job just fine

2. The packages are a mess, I've looked at several of my daily cli tools and they are all wrong (except one, which is missing completely)

Which packages did you notice that had issues? I'd like to take a look.
