Install Dagger on Nix Runner

Use nix eval instead of dagger call nix-version for version extraction on the ringtail nix-container-builder runner.

Context

The build-container-nix.yaml workflow extracts container versions in this order:

  1. version = "..." from default.nix (e.g. ntfy)
  2. ARG CONTAINER_APP_VERSION= from Dockerfile (e.g. nettest)
  3. Nixpkgs package version for packages without explicit versions (e.g. authentik)

Step 3 originally used dagger call nix-version, but dagger can’t run on the bare nix runner:

  • Dagger is not in nixpkgs — removed due to trademark concerns. Available via github:dagger/nix flake.
  • Dagger needs a container runtime — the CLI is just an API client; the engine runs as a container via Docker/containerd, which the nix runner doesn’t have.

The fix was to use nix eval --raw "nixpkgs#<package>.version" directly, which is already available on the nix host and more appropriate.
