You can define an immutable, deterministic, and bootable system image for anything from an enclave to a laptop with just the primitives provided by the OCI Containerfile standard.

A stagex containerfile can define a system build recipe in such a way that several competing build systems that obey the same standard can all get the same hashes, which we sign every release.

Just to confirm my understanding, is the following corrects?

  NixOS: “Given this configuration, build me the same system again.”

  StageX: “Prove that every binary in this system came from the source code I think it did.”
Because aren’t these two very different things.
