That gets me about half way there. The problem is that the lack of tooling within the container building itself; your tools are the ad-hoc collection of things like COPYing manually maintained config and systemd unit files, having to use things like sed to do inplace edits to add specific configuration to a machine to the default files, etc. I actually inflicted myself with the pain of nix moving from a container-based approach because the tooling for making the container itself was not replicable enough.
