# Nix Installation for Hermes Agent Container
# Add these lines to the Dockerfile to bake Nix into the container image
# --- ADD AFTER BASE IMAGE AND BEFORE USER SETUP ---
# Install Nix (Determinate Systems installer)
# This provides nix, nixos-rebuild, and the Nix package manager
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
curl \
xz-utils \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Download and run Nix installer (non-interactive)
RUN curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix \
-o /tmp/nix-install.sh \
&& chmod +x /tmp/nix-install.sh \
&& sh /tmp/nix-install.sh install --no-confirm \
&& rm /tmp/nix-install.sh
# Configure Nix for flakes
RUN mkdir -p /root/.config/nix \
&& echo 'experimental-features = nix-command flakes' > /root/.config/nix/nix.conf \
&& echo 'substituters = https://cache.nixos.org/' >> /root/.config/nix/nix.conf
# Add Nix to PATH for all users
ENV PATH="/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:$PATH"
# Optional: Expose Nix daemon socket if you want to use host's Nix (less secure)
# VOLUME ["/nix/store"]
# Note: Not recommended for security - builds run in container instead
