oci-tools: Adds additional arguments and fixes a bug #93923

Motivation for this change

This improves the pkgs.ociTools.buildContainer with some additional arguments. It also formats the file and fixes a bug where one of the arguments was unused.

Assuming the new arguments are left with default values, the derivation is almost identical to what it was before this commit. The only different is that the key process.env in config.json was not present before, while after this commit it will be an empty dictionary.

I am currently using this improved ociTools on my machine to build an ephemeral tor-browser inside a container, which is then started with runc.

The added arguments are:

  • uid => put into process.user.uid in config.json
  • gid => put into process.user.gid in config.json
  • processEnv => mapped to the right format and put into process.env in config.json.
  • namespaces => mapped to the right format and put into linux.namespaces in config.json.
  • shm-size => put into the mount options for the /dev/shm mount entry in config.json.
  • extraConfig => merged with the existing attributes in config.json.
  • extraSetupCommands => run as part of the command to build the derivation. Useful for e.g. creating extra directories in the resulting rootfs.
