Nix on my phone? I had to check this out!
I got the same error, decided to see what happens.

~# ldd /nix/store/nd4d8pqaq9mdr50gfxrs3b52k7s3zwld-libsodium-1.0.18/lib/libsodium.so.23
        /lib/ld-musl-i386.so.1 (0xf7f66000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/ld-musl-i386.so.1 (0xf7f66000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/ld-musl-i386.so.1 (0xf7f66000)
        ld-linux.so.2 => /nix/store/n7r6ynq8mcr9wphb0yb1frrxr2yp78bg-glibc-2.34-210/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7ebc000)

It looks like musl linker that is used by Alpine in this VM can’t handle glibc symbols or something.
I’d recommend trying Nix compiled with musl somehow.

Guys I got nix successfully installed! Nix is offered as a package in the edge repository (the unstable).

My steps:

  • delete /ish folder to prevent ish overwrite /etc/apk/repositories (this behavior is written in the comment in the file)
  • change url in /etc/apk/repositories into edge:
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

I tried the deterministic nix installer run and into error, the official one cause ish crash.

Looks like Nix doesn’t work in that environment anymore. With 2.22.0-r0 version from Alpine I get following error when running any Nix command:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::SysError'
  what():  error: saving parent mount namespace: No such file or directory
Aborted

I guess, something changed since 2.20.5, but I don’t see what: Comparing 2.20.5..2.22.0 · NixOS/nix · GitHub - it has always called saveMountNamespace there…
