Building ARM Docker images with GitLab-Runner
There are multiple ways of building ARM docker images and there is not always a need to have an ARM computer or server in place to do so. Using QEMU ARM architecture can also be emulated on a normal AMD64 computer or laptop. Only when having to compile a lot of packages on ARM, the best advice is to not use emulation since it will take forever. Also, it is always important to keep in mind which ARM platform to target, be it armv6l, armv7l or aarch64.

The S3 nix cache manual
What is nix?
Nix is a package manager for Linux and other Unix systems aiming to manage packages reliably and reproducibly. In order to do so, it introduces Nix expressions, a functional language to build the packages. To increase reproducibility, a package description includes every step to build a package from source. This means that not only the wanted software but also all its dependencies are built from scratch. Therefore, a complete dependency chain can be ensured, which makes the package build process truly reproducible.
