Yes, I think we should support it. It’s basically a single-user installation; no need to all the systemd magic, we can just run guix-daemon directly without creating a separate user account or anything. Any idea how we could detect a single-user container installation? Anyway, the installation steps are simple here: cd / tar xf /path/to/guix-binary.tar.xz /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon & And I think that’s it. Ludo’.
