Maybe k3s[1], a lightweight kubernetes distribution, is an alternative where packaging for guix is simpler? Currently i use it in my homelab running NixOs. In fact for me that is the most missed package in guix ecosystem. NixOs allows me to delaratively describe a k3s node system, spun it up on a fresh system and join it to my cluster within a matter of few minutes. I tried porting the nix package description ([2]) to guix, but the lack of expierence with guix and the hard dependency on systemd was a show stopper for me. Is it even possible to run k3s without systemd on guix?
