NixOS Docker Image for MacOS Development

This Docker image streamlines development on MacOS, particularly for aarch64-darwin systems. It solves two key challenges:

1. Enables compilation of non-darwin Nix configurations on aarch64-darwin
2. Provides Jetpack.io's Devbox as an intuitive package manager

Key Features

• Uses Devbox for dependency management through a simple devbox.json file at project root
• Offers a user-friendly abstraction layer over Nix
• No prior Nix knowledge required
• Seamless integration with MacOS development workflow

Perfect for developers who want Nix's power without its complexity, especially when working with cross-platform builds on Apple Silicon.
