volume: no need to duplicate the initial nix store
This is a partial revert of #7 where we added a copy of the initial nix store to make sure it's not lost when we use a volume for the /nix mounting point in the container. However this was an unecessary duplication. The initial nix store is already present in the docker image and can be retrieved by using a “named” volume with `-v nix-store:/nix`, docker will copy the /nix path of the image inside a volume called `nix-store` on the host machine for us we don't need to it manually. Of course if mounting an empty directory from the host machine (with `-v /tmp/nix-store:/nix`) then the image won't boot (because docker will NOT copy the content of the /nix path inside the image into the /tmp/nix-store path of the host machine). This change drastically reduces the image size (basically /2 as we were duplicating the biggest source of disk space…) ``` REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE docker-nix 2.3.4-vol f74209e25515 About a minute ago 1.58GB docker-nix 2.3.4 61880484ceb1 12 minutes ago 835MB ``` Let's be 🍃 instead of ⛰️
