Hello! After a bit of bisecting I pinned my issue down to checkout 808b9e850491c7b1d867a5f1f4d5ee6f61f345d4. From there on any guix offload test or status will fail if a hostname, or FQDN, is set in the name field of a machine. Offloads work if an IP address is set instead.
A snip: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix offload status machines.scm testhost guix offload: getting status of 1 build machines defined in 'machines.scm'... guix offload: error: failed to connect to 'testhost': Connection refused --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It would be great if someone could confirm this somehow. I've observed this on a different host and finally got to test it on my main host today. Testing in a Qemu through libvirt the error behaved a bit differently with a different error. But I didn't follow that track after all. I mostly do offloading onto bare metal. Kind regards Simon
