"uid-range" provides 65536 UIDs to a build and runs the build as root
in its user namespace. "systemd-cgroup" allows the build to mount the
systemd cgroup controller (needed for running systemd-nspawn and NixOS
containers).
Also, add a configuration option "auto-allocate-uids" which is needed
to enable these features, and some experimental feature gates.
So to enable support for containers you need the following in
nix.conf:
experimental-features = auto-allocate-uids systemd-cgroup
auto-allocate-uids = true
system-features = uid-range systemd-cgroup
