With "guix pack", you can already create a Docker image that contains arbitrary files. Just define whatever packages you need in order to install the things you want, and "guix pack --format=docker" will create a Docker image of exactly what you declare, without building upon any existing Docker image. Is this different from what you had in mind? Once "guix system docker-image" gets added, you will be able to do the same thing for an entire GuixSD system: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30572 -- Chris
