I first attempted to create the Docker image using Nix tools, but that ended up being too complicated, in the end it was easier to install Nix from the Dockerfile, and update the existing scripts to use Nix provided tools.
Worth noting the image contains a
nodebuilt with all shared libs, similar to what buildstest-sharedGHA workflow on nodejs/node; we could certainly disable that to use the vendored static deps instead, the tradeoff being the build would take longer.Fixes: #18
