NixOS is fundamentally incompatible with running inside Docker.
Different tech but, it is like running Docker in Docker, you need priv to do namespacing and sandboxing.
For simple programs like CLI stuff the lack of sandboxing is probably fine, but desktop apps would require the user to run the container in privileged mode.

It is basically a total non starter, and there is nothing upstream can do to make it more compatible as the isolation of packages is their core philosophy.

Although this isn't a Nixos image, I managed to use the host's Nixos daemon and store for builds and packages.

This lets you use utilities like nix-shell or nix-build inside a webtop container.

These images are no longer compatible with Kasm, just fyi
