Crafting Minimal Docker Images with Guix

Crafting Minimal Docker Images

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-system.html

We'll be using the guix system docker-image command to produce these images!

I'll keep these examples in the following Codeberg repository:

https://codeberg.org/daviwil/guix-minimal-docker

Here's what we'll try:

  • A minimal Guix container for CI builds (build one from a manifest?)
  • Packaging software and services in a Docker container
  • Simplifying networking with the -N parameter
  • Trying it out on Woodpecker CI
