graphics is.

+  <title>Container Management</title>
+  <para>
+    NixOS allows you to easily run other NixOS instances as
+    <emphasis>containers</emphasis>. Containers are a light-weight
+    approach to virtualisation that runs software in the container at
+    the same speed as in the host system. NixOS containers share the Nix
+    store of the host, making container creation very efficient.
+  </para>
+  <warning>
+    <para>
+      Currently, NixOS containers are not perfectly isolated from the
+      host system. This means that a user with root access to the
+      container can do things that affect the host. So you should not
+      give container root access to untrusted users.
+    </para>
+  </warning>
+  <para>
+    NixOS containers can be created in two ways: imperatively, using the
+    command <literal>nixos-container</literal>, and declaratively, by
+    specifying them in your <literal>configuration.nix</literal>. The
+    declarative approach implies that containers get upgraded along with
+    your host system when you run <literal>nixos-rebuild</literal>,
+    which is often not what you want. By contrast, in the imperative
+    approach, containers are configured and updated independently from
+    the host system.
