I want to build a nix package using docker/podman.
Describe the issue
The documentation at https://nixos.org/download/#nix-install-docker says:
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git $ docker run -it -v $(pwd)/nixpkgs:/nixpkgs nixos/nix docker> nix-build -I nixpkgs=/nixpkgs -A hello docker> find ./result # this symlink points to the build package
However, that results in:
bash-5.2# nix-build -I nixpkgs=/nixpkgs -A hello error: path '/default.nix' does not exist
I have no idea how to resolve this.

Yeah the docker-compose stuff didn't work for me either:
$ docker-compose up [+] Building 0.1s (2/2) FINISHED docker:default => [nixos-homepage internal] load .dockerignore 0.0s => => transferring context: 2B 0.0s => [nixos-homepage internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.0s => => transferring dockerfile: 2B 0.0s failed to solve: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount163813011/Dockerfile: no such file or directory
Sorry, something went wrong.
For the record, the fix is to change:
nix-build -I nixpkgs=/nixpkgs -A hello
To:
nix-build -I nixpkgs=/nixpkgs -A hello nixpkgs/default.nix
I'm not sure where in the nixpkgs repository to change this so the website isn't lies, though.
