Hello, I just wanted to drop a quick note on the guix deploy work carried out by Jakob.
I've started using it to manage servers, and it seems to work an absolute charm. Congratulations to all involved. I did hit the following small stumbling blocks: - When first running guix deploy it complained about a missing /etc/guix/signing-key.sec. I fairly quickly realised that deploy probably used archive infrastructure, so figured out how to generate the keys. But maybe the manual should contain a line about this? - The machine-ssh-configuration allows for the specification of users other than root, but my understanding is that only root will allow for a successful deployment (because root is required to actually reconfigure the target system). I don't know what conclusions to draw from this, as I'm not 100% on the roadmap for development. But maybe for now, this could be a gotcha for new users.
