Sandboxed & reproducible builds

[stv0g]

I am currently attempting to us astro-embed for a website, build using Nix.
As Nix runs the build process in a sandbox, astro-embed fails to perform network requests.

Would it be somehow be possible to cache and embed those network requests in a separate file into the project directory?

I see several advantages for such a caching mechanism:

• Enables reproducible builds of Astro websites which embed external content
• Enables Nix builds of Astro websites
• Improves resiliancy against remote websites, tweets, or other resources vanishing and future astro-embed requests to fail.

A caching layer could be interesting. But I guess you’d still need network access for initial requests, so not sure how you’d solve that?

I'd appreciate a caching layer to also avoid Cloudflare hosted sites like https://www.defined.net from blocking the github runner from accessing it due to too many requests.
