By now I have a system that starts all services without failure. I got
there by increasing the timeout to 30 s everywhere (compared to the
default value of 5). Perhaps 30 is more than necessary, I didn't try
intermediate values. So it looks like Guix in Docker is a bit slow to
boot, at least on the Mac.

A more fundamental question is whether I will be able to do useful work
with this setup. It is well known that host file access from Docker on
macOS is slow, but I didn't realize how slow it is until I compiled Guix
in... four hours. On the same machine booted to Linux, it's about 40
minutes.

Konrad.
