This is a run-down of tips and tricks for the use of rules_nixpkgs, a rule set for bringing in nix packages for use in bazel.

Bid allows you to create a build rule that runs a single bazel build action inside a Docker container. And if you can run a single action, you can run more if you so choose. This helps you if you must use software which is hard to bazelize, such as typically some EDA packages.

You, too, can have a fully hermetic, reproducible, and ephemeral bazel build.
