Show HN: Virby, a vfkit-based Linux builder for Nix-Darwin

https://github.com/quinneden/virby-nix-darwin
17•qeden•4d ago
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•13h 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?
