Installing packages in Devcontainers with Nix | Mischa van den Burg

I’ve been obsessed with Devcontainers and Devpods recently, and I’m learning a lot about portable dev environments. This is truly the next level of config management and the future of dev environments in my opinion. I relied on brew as my package manager, however, I ran into problems when I wanted to run my Linux dev containers on my M2 Silicon Mac. Linux brew is not supported on ARM architecture.

@mischavandenburg have you guys tested devbox tool ? https://www.jetify.com/devbox I'm applying it into a couples of backends with mysql connections instead of docker/podman with interesting results, also with https://taskfile.dev/ in order to run a localhost env faster rather than containers but I'm in beta testing eg by using Keycloak under this setup doesn't work
Devbox: Portable, Isolated Dev Environments

Devbox creates isolated, reproducible development environments that can run anywhere without Docker or virtual machines.

@castrillo Looks interesting, definitely taking a look!
