feat: oci image linking to store host nix/store path

[dzmitry-lahoda]

can instead of copying files, just make oci image to link to host, assuming /nix/store is mounted into image?

so can make building oci images very fast for dev purposes.

Hello,

That's currently not possible to do that with nix2container and i think this feature would require some changes around this part.

Did you take a look to arion?

[dzmitry-lahoda]

looked, arion does not seem to support such feature.

[dzmitry-lahoda]

this claimed support, but i have not found how easy to build image

this project seems closest to oci image, basically instead of ad hoc json it could may be generate oci spec json directly)
