[Nix-dev] [ANN] docker-nix-builder beta

[zimbatm]

Did you ever have to battle with a user that only wants to have Docker
installed on his system? Or a user that is developing on macOS and has
broken nix packages?

docker-nix-builder is a tool to help smooth the transition. Instead of
using nix to build the project, use Docker to run nix to build the project.
At the end the users gets a new Docker container that only (mostly)
contains the build result.

It's not very efficient because it doesn't benefit from the local
`/nix/store` but that's not the goal. If the user wants to benefit from the
full awesomeness of Nix he just has to install Nix.
