In the guix manual I found this: https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Service-Reference.html#index-hosts_002dservice_002dtype So instead of using (hosts-file ..) you'll have to use (hosts-service-type ..) instead, as you already mentioned. You'll end up with something like to following: (operating-system ;; ... (essential-services (modify-services (operating-system-default-essential-services this-operating-system) (hosts-service-type config => (cons* (host "some.ip.address.1" "machine1") (host "some.other.ip.address" "machine2") (local-host-entries host-name))))) ;; ... I tried it and it seems to work for me. Also, I agree the documentation needs some love here. Cheers, Remco
