The previous day's Docker image is used as the base for the new one being built - the image is pulled from Docker Hub, `guix pull` is run inside it, and a new image is "committed" (Docker terminology for creating a new image from a file system snapshot). BTW, I posted an incorrect internal link - the actual Docker images are available here if you'd like to try them out: https://hub.docker.com/r/singularsyntax/guix/tags > I'm also not sure which image is growing each day...

Are you doing that? `guix gc --delete-generations` without a parameter causes all preceding pull and package generations to be deleted. > Are you removing / invalidating old generations before attempting to > garbage collect them?

Yes, `guix gc --delete-generations`, `guix gc --collect-garbage`, and `guix gc --optimize` are run in the order given. Note that passing a specific amount parameter to `--collect-garbage` makes no difference. > Usually, these old profiles are responsible for most of the disk usage > in /gnu/store. Indeed. It's clear what's taking up the space, but I don't understand why it does not get garbage collected: root@localhost /# guix pull --list-generations Generation 12 May 28 2020 20:45:30 (current) guix a5374cd repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: a5374cde918cfeae5c16b43b9f2dd2b24bc3564d root@localhost /# guix package --list-generations guix package: error: profile '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile' does not exist root@localhost /# du -h --max-depth=1 /gnu/store | egrep "guix-system$|guix-packages-base$|guix-[0-9a-f]*-modules$" 44M /gnu/store/slwkzcmg6r1lr9a16x3krd2ax384p8wr-guix-system 44M /gnu/store/zf67wb6c0s97vwmywjq09hy9jq0w5mmi-guix-system 107M /gnu/store/plaay02w581vx9ilyiv93sl1lw54n7h5-guix-packages-base 44M /gnu/store/qhbk7g8z97m37iak1s1yn2my82gv0lj5-guix-system 103M /gnu/store/2qcfl7h10dynjlifyvqwh9iiic52q5x6-guix-packages-base 107M /gnu/store/m0fv2xmfif5pxnfb1bscfvgyfx0x6xdc-guix-packages-base 90M /gnu/store/hz2rn2l0jixg91q4rsdcwc489y71ll29-guix-05e1edf22-modules 41M /gnu/store/w47fgv8p2hvaqdwywymwvm0qlh4gw0ih-guix-system 191M /gnu/store/l3amdz5xyhflg5wdzlxr2685dq5glic2-guix-527ab3125-modules 201M /gnu/store/5mhn1ynxvy7jihsknsnv3yspkkvc0r5s-guix-2e59ae238-modules 44M /gnu/store/dzc16sv8jv831m0jkk5llc2ws1a3mk0z-guix-system 44M /gnu/store/9a2hr5lh15vxqa7bjih8w47wr6hr11nv-guix-system 103M /gnu/store/1lwdys51wi08r5an2rr6sqk9kbgr7qip-guix-packages-base 44M /gnu/store/c3spiv1c0fg83j7d99mjwk0s6fw77wl5-guix-system 44M /gnu/store/vwzk618h1wxy6z9i06xnhnxj4gvhkiss-guix-system 6.7M /gnu/store/a5xsqxr04pwnyni5x2gqjnishzq80cbw-guix-packages-base 14M /gnu/store/mych9fchln22pbhpc5syxyymx4hz496y-guix-8bd0b533b-modules 35M /gnu/store/brbwlbnx56ms50kklyqk9fsf0xkwjjf9-guix-498e2e669-modules 3.2M /gnu/store/dirpwhdr7h4nyphy4ncxqi4f2njv3rsh-guix-packages-base 35M /gnu/store/d3h4b7nvnms8d03ddi9b481dlxpykl7l-guix-5e3d16994-modules 5.8M /gnu/store/n339sr8c63f0nzja6yl8zfwy1jklj19j-guix-packages-base 25M /gnu/store/0vwg9aqzs5xrk10vcs4dl105s3f42ilf-guix-b1affd477-modules 41M /gnu/store/pwr8ab20xa1whxag689lsz82l2na08x0-guix-system 6.5M /gnu/store/6sggbpgg0zkbgxwf3wa2j15dis8z7cr1-guix-packages-base 57M /gnu/store/8z9qc2bvq8azc08p4miq77yf2agk07aq-guix-843e77205-modules 71M /gnu/store/ibgjq1ampj8bldrabbsnwik2sr0gg3as-guix-a43fe7acd-modules 37M /gnu/store/x7ns2xcp8lfg24zq7gr3y8ffczn1nsxp-guix-d79c917f2-modules 18M /gnu/store/i72b4biraw6bhy1v7ly46kwyaacvfa28-guix-system 178M /gnu/store/47aack48aczpzm635axsy4jf2pvmwrv0-guix-ef1d475b0-modules 15M /gnu/store/77sxajrwigsdnyr4l4jq4pk6v5kwbm59-guix-system
