# TODO: build using Nix: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main/containers/alpine/.devcontainer/base.Dockerfile

  "features": {    
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker:2": {
      "installDockerBuildx" : false,

      "installDockerBuildx" : true
    }
  }

imho seems better base image on debian for codespace with which microsoft tests end to end. basically codespace initiative non composable garbage if you are not going mainstream.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

it still fails, but not that reason

@dzmitry-lahoda did you solve this issue? How? I'm trying to use docker-in-docker but the feature install fails just like you said, and docker-outside-of-docker has this issue devcontainers/features#171 so I'm a bit stuck. Can we reopen this?

[dzmitry-lahoda]

you can check this NixOS/nix#6680 .

people claimed it is solved - i do not trust them. they added nix with single package but not ecosystem.

ecosystem when i just shell into codespace

so i did it
https://github.com/ComposableFi/composable/blob/main/Dockerfile

https://github.com/ComposableFi/composable/blob/main/.devcontainer.json

idea is to setup home manager in docker

the only issue i did not fixed nicely, at least I think, I had to hardcode some ENV vars into docker, while they must be in home manager. ufortunately home manager has ugly situation reagrding env vars

https://github.com/ComposableFi/composable/blob/d784d7600802f1c523bf55bb4502013ace79585d/Dockerfile#L72

but other than that - it works perfect.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

i am not expert and cannot fix it consistently,

MS does iditiotic things to nix and claims it is right.

devevn is cool, but I am not so cool.

home manager ENV vars is weird.

so kind of sure, nice solution exsits, but given MS agains it - which is super clear after answers from 3 codespaces devs - i doubt solution would be ever nice until they will be aligend.
