Oh, thank you very much for the specific solution! It worked for me flawlessly. Actually, where did you get local-host-entries from? The documentation page you and Bruno cite doesn't seem to ever mention this function :O Unless I am looking at some old version of the docs. > Also, I agree the documentation needs some love here. I am willing to contribute. What would be the best place to do changes to the documentation? I would follow this mini-roadmap: 1. Add the explanation of local-host-entries to https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Service-Reference.html#index-hosts_002dservice_002dtype 2. Say here https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/operating_002dsystem-Reference.html that hosts-file is deprecated. 3. Update the examples here to use hosts-service-type instead of hosts-file: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html What do you think? I've never submitted a patch to Guix docs before, so all suggestions and hints are welcome :-) - Sergiu
