Create nix distrobox

Anyone have any success setting up a nixos distrobox container, or just a distrobox with nix in general? I originally tried to put nix ontop of a container image, but the installer I was using (https://docs.determinate.systems/) keeps trying to configure selinux from inside the container and breaking. So now I was trying to install nixos directly using their docker image (

distrobox create --image nixos/nix:latest --name nix-dev

distrobox create --image nixos/nix:latest --name nix-dev

), but when trying to enter it gives me this error:

superricky@2400-a840-5128-0-56ba-9573-97a7-59cd:~$ distrobox enter nix-dev
 Error: could not start entrypoint.

My goal is to use Nix for development, so if you have a better way of doing that please let me know.
