Just so you know: we’re aware of this problem and agree that it needs solving. Ricardo (Cc’d) has helped in the past set up rsync on ci.guix.gnu.org so that someone could rsync /var/cache/guix/publish to a server in China. I think we have most of the pieces more or less in place. > Then a mirror site can simply pull the directory > /var/cache/guix/publish/nar from the Berlin server and serve this > directory through a static HTTP server.

The simplest solution for now (I think that’s what Ricardo & co. had in mind) would be for you to retrieve /var/cache/guix/publish on your server, as is, and then run ‘guix publish’ on your sever: it will know where to find files. As I wrote to Jonathan, you can/should also run nginx on top of that as a proxy to your local ‘guix publish’. Ricardo, can you remind us what the next steps would be? Does that make sense? Thanks, Ludo’.
