If docker is not available in conda, I currently don't see the value of having a pixi project to run the docker build commands over a simple shell script :P
Maybe you could look into podman since it actually is available in conda-forge

So I did this and now I'm stuck in a rabbithole. There is a difference between podman and docker (or buildah as I use that for building)

I'm not able to run cargo build in the running image when using podman but I am when I use docker. But it does build when I run the cargo build in the Dockerfile.

The error I get is:

root@80d26b5287b4:~/pixi-in-docker# pixi run build
error: could not execute process `rustc -vV` (never executed)

Caused by:
  Operation not permitted (os error 1)

I'm not having any luck finding out why this happens as the permissions on the files look exactly the same and that is what most forum post go on about.

The reason I use buildah instead of podman build is the missing feature of the --mount=type=cache which is very nice. I could changed this and maybe try some of the other mounting types but no luck so far.

Any idea what could help @pavelzw, as my experience with podman is very limited?

I think we can merge this as-is. Let's improve this further - maybe by creating a pixi-docker project. That could also create a new user inside the docker container for security, add a multi-stage build and these kind of fancy things from micromamba-docker.

My podman knowledge is also somewhat limited 😅 I only used it as a rootless alternative to docker until now
