Hi,

I'm totally new to Guix.

1) Is there a recommended container image to get started? I've tried
metacall/guix but it doesn't seem to support the architecture I'm using for
most of my servers (ARMv7).

2) I have also tried a base Ubuntu 24.04 image with the `guix` package
installed.

However, trying to use guix afterwards fails:

root@3aef7697a7a2:/tmp/build# guix shell python python-numpy -- python3
guix shell: error: failed to connect to `/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket':
No such file or directory
root@3aef7697a7a2:/tmp/build# systemctl restart guix-daemon
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't
operate.

Since Systemd isn't supposed to be started in a container, is there a
workaround (like the single-user mode for Nix) ?

(cf.

).
