This is absolutely great ! , something absolutely minimalist instead of nix os , that being said , I am interested in seeing full source bootstrapped point within wasm / libriscv as well.

Personally I wish that this can somehow be even more "better" in my opinion if this can replace containers themselves. I had once seen somebody comment that they wanted to create a gcloud course and wanted to provide a shell like environment with all gcloud tools etc., that too , cross platform but they felt docker was too heavy for such use case , so they used nix for it.

I am also wondering how cool this can be where this can be used to create things like appimage or all the other things. Since this is reproducible, we can create a such dockerfile to .deb / .pkg.tar.zst and so much more.

Damn. This is crazy idea considering you don't have to trust anybody or any code , I wish for something like zkvm combined with this where with just source code and a proof , you can verify that somebody built it and maybe even distribute it , the problem I suppose is that zkvm doesn't prove things running over the internet ( I think)

We are in the process of adding a new special package type called "boxes" which will allow you to easily pivot your final container output as an appimage, flatpak, deb, iso, img, etc etc.

Very much on our radar, though not hard to do by hand today. Help is of course welcome on such efforts if you get cycles to spare!

First steps would be to add the actual appimage tool as a package in "user" which would be a great first package for someone. We should have all/most of the dependencies already.
