Hi @domenkozar ,
I am posting this question here, because more people might be interested.
What is devenv’s approach for production packaging of some product built using devenv in to the container image ?
Let say I have a Python app which I want to run in OCI container with the exactly same dependencies including Python itself.
Thank you.

That would be the implementation of ``devenv build-image`` · Issue #5 · cachix/devenv · GitHub - something I plan to work as soon as there are more users that would like to use it as a container.
If you define more than one process, would you expect each process to be a separate image?
Sorry, what I want is deployment of my product which I develop with devenv.
For example, I develop some Python web app which runs on top of PostgreSQL DB. In devenv, I have PostgreSQL DB running as process to support my development, but my question is how to package my Python web app (not my app dependencies configured as processes) for production.
I am quite fascinated by container building tools in Nix, but I don’t think they are currently digestible for non Nixers (especially for production deployments). So I was more thinking about building some Alpine based Dockerfile with Nix and my Python app deps installed.
See the announcement of devenv 0.6 that allows you to generate containers
Thanks @domenkozar , I am already playing with that :).
