Using containers in NixOS 2023-12-08T11:27:39.010Z NixOS allows running arbitrary Docker containers declaratively, these are some of my notes on my usage of this functionality. true

NixOS comes with the ability to declaratively manage docker containers, which functions as a nice escape hatch when something you want to run doesn't have a native Nix package or is not easy to run within NixOS.

All the available configuration options can be found here, so rather than explain all of it I'll just walk through my own experience of getting a container up for Linkding.

podman containers list works only if you're root, not with sudo podman containers list.
