X-Git-Tag: 2.3.1-channel-19.09-v2^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.immae.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=63ece951168caf2e68b403b76e628e6894d92d73;p=github%2Ffretlink%2Fdocker-nix.git

volume: change base images to be able to mount /nix/store as volume

These changes will allow the nix store to be mounted as a volume and
still be able to launch a bash console with the correct nix
environment.
