If you want to build custom images just use https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators It's documentation is on point.

Would it be possible to add a minimalistic image that contains app, kernel and essential packages? Like what you would get when building a docker container or using the not-os repo that I mentioned earlier.

I think having mini images would be awesome.

    docker run -ti nixery.dev/shell/git/htop bash
