@yoshuawuyts like basically this is all you need to do: https://code.nathan7.eu/nathan7/nix-alpine/src/4799c6692f9b5a31c37a37ffcac5d8ab9225780a/buildroot.sh#L25 …

@yoshuawuyts I kinda cheat there because my apk is in the Nix store, but if you're on Alpine already you don't need to chroot

@FrozenFire now this is exactly what I hoped you'd have also setting up Nix so being able to look at this is def helpful

@yoshuawuyts that repo is the Alpine package manager, packaged for Nix. I also have Nix packaged for Alpine: https://code.nathan7.eu/nathan7/alpine-nix …

@yoshuawuyts (binary packages for the latter are at https://alpine.nathan7.eu , the public end of the signing key is somewhere in there too)

@FrozenFire oh shit, that's great! I was using the Nix installer script to get it in, but that's way less good for sure

@yoshuawuyts the installer script should work, and gets you a Nix in your Nix store — definitely the cleaner option

@yoshuawuyts but I was bootstrapping Nix on ARM for a build cluster on Scaleway, so that wasn't an option
