// Package main provides the implementation of a container registry that
// transparently builds container images based on Nix derivations.
//
// The Nix derivation used for image creation is responsible for creating
// objects that are compatible with the registry API. The targeted registry
// protocol is currently Docker's.
//
// When an image is requested, the required contents are parsed out of the
// request and a Nix-build is initiated that eventually responds with the
// manifest as well as information linking each layer digest to a local
// filesystem path.
