I’ve recently discovered nixos containers and was wondering if there where any pros/cons of running them vs. Docker containers. Like if one needs to run a containerised service, would it be better to run it as a nixos container or a docker container in terms of resource consumption? And are there any limitations of each approach?

    if one needs to run a containerised service

    Can you elaborate what you mean by this? Because if a service is not packaged in Nixos, you won’t be able to run it in a Nixos container either. Well, you can, but you would have to package/setup it yourself.
