Hi Nicolas,
I'm working on a big refactor for the oci-container-service type at [0].
Basically users would be able to write something like the following in
their own configurations:
(simple-service 'oci-monitoring
oci-service-type
(oci-configuration
(volumes (oci-volume-configuration (name "my-volume")))
(networks (oci-network-configuration (name "monitoring")))
(containers
(oci-container-configuration
(image "grafana")
(network "monitoring"))
(oci-container-configuration
(image "prometheus")
(network "monitoring")))))
It is completely compatible and with time I believe would deprecate the
oci-container-service type. It will bring more features besides networks
and volumes, such as support for running on top of rootless podman. It
currently depends on [1] and [2] which bring respectively structured
subuids and subgids support and rootless-podman as a Guix System
service. Once they get in Guix I will upstream the new oci-service-type.
If you'd like to collaborate on the service the development is happening
on gocix [3] let's get in touch :)
I hope to work on [1] this weekend and to have it soon in Guix, if you
have further comments on the implementation let me know!
Cheers,
giacomo
