Some folks on the internet were interested in how I had managed to ditch Docker for local development. This is a slightly overdue write up on how I typically do things now with Nix, Overmind and Just.

I use a similar approach, but I went further by creating a system that compose like docker-compose would. The trick was to write my own nix function mergeShells.

For now, I am pretty happy with it. Also, I put the init script inside nix-shell and not in external files and use exit signal to cleanup the state.
