Should document that for --lein you need LEIN_HOME directory

I am creating a deps lock file via a nix derivation, and since it is sand-boxed LEIN_HOME is not defined.

Do you mean you are running the deps-lock CLI in a nix build? That isn't supported, since we need network access to generate the lock file.

You can run it in a nix build via fixed output derivations!

good point, never though about it.

I wonder if we could use that trick to include clj-nix packages on nixpkgs 🤔

We definitely could!

I really like how you are generating the lock file in a derivation:

With it, if I upstream clj-nix to nixpkgs, we don't need to commit the lock files, while at the same time we can share the input dependencies between different derivations
