Wow, thanks a lot for sharing! You even handle comments :clap: I admit that I literally have 2 entries to add to my /etc/hosts, so I will still go with the manual addition as suggested by Bruno and Remco, but I will keep your solution in mind! > Also, please note that the Guix info pages are incorrect for > `hosts-service-type` and `host`. The docs say they are exported by `(gnu > services)`, but they are actually located in `(gnu services base)`. Yeah, people seem to be actively working on this particular part of Guix at the moment, including the docs. I guess stuff will get fixed soon. - Sergiu
