Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
The official Nix Container Image cannot be used in Bitbucket Pipelines because Bitbucket requires the binaries /bin/echo /bin/cat and /usr/bin/mkfifo to be there in the image.
That of course does not make any sense, but even after reporting the issue to Bitbucket Bitbucket did not react and it seems this won't get fixed anytime soon.
Proposed solution
Instead of waiting & hoping for Bitbucket to fix this issue, we could propably update the Nix image to have these binaries symlinked accordingly. I don't like that we need to do this, but what's the point of having an official image if it doesn't run in all of the major build pipelines.
Alternative solutions
We could of course just wait for Bitbucket and let users create patched images for themselves (that's what we're doing currently).
