 @radwebhosting AFAIK AWS, GCP, DO and many other providers use cloud-init for setting up fresh VMs. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git virtual size: 1.82 GiB (1949847552 bytes) 5 comments
@abcdw Crazy! It’s the qcow2 image hosted on their public sftp mirrors…you’d guess they’d want to minimize it, but I won’t pretend to be any kind of Guix expert! Would you like to access a test account on our system to see how it could be managed for successive deployments/updates/etc? @radwebhosting The real size is still < 1.5G, it's just a virtual size, which is huge. I'm quite limited on time for the next couple weeks, but if you interested to provide Guix OS template for your servers, I would be glad to cooperate on this. (To be clear: I can deploy Guix on servers of almost any provider, I'm interested in first-class support, so other people from the community can get it spinned up in seconds with zero additional steps). @abcdw We’d be happy to support you in setting up the optimal service provisioning interface to best manage your client onboarding projects. We have provided similar custom services to other clients and while we don’t provide support directly to your end-users, we’ll help diagnose and resolve any issues you report, originating anywhere within the supply chain. We’ll be available to help you whether you need it now, in three weeks, or in 6 months…just reference our thread 😃✅ |

@radwebhosting Probably the official guix qcow image is built with --image-size=30G option or something like that.
