Did you garbage collect “guix gc”?  For instance with the option ’-F 5G’
or this option ’-d 9m’.

Because if you pull again and again, the store is growing.  And
depending on the size your VPS, you can reach the limit of the available
space.

No, I am not suggesting a change.  I am trying to identify why your
setup is failing and emit hypothesis.

You are drawing hard conclusions from some hypothesis when they are just
hypothesis.

Over this 2 years, how many times did you garbage collect?
