Show HN: Virby, a vfkit-based Linux builder for Nix-Darwin (github.com) 22 points by qeden 1y ago ↗ HN Virby is a module for nix-darwin that configures a lightweight linux VM as a remote build machine for nix, allowing linux packages to be built on macOS.
[–] nathanscully 1y ago ↗ What is the advantage of this over the inbuilt linux-builder in nix-darwin[1]?I assume it being vfkit based might make it more performant? Are there any benchmarks comparing them?[1] https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/blob/master/modules...
