‘guix system vm’ can now be told to share more file systems with the
host, in addition to /gnu/store:
Additional file systems can be shared between the host and the VM
using the ‘--share’ and ‘--expose’ command-line options: the former
specifies a directory to be shared with write access, while the
latter provides read-only access to the shared directory.
The example below creates a VM in which the user’s home directory
is accessible read-only, and where the ‘/exchange’ directory is a
read-write mapping of the host’s ‘$HOME/tmp’:
guix system vm my-config.scm \
--expose=$HOME --share=$HOME/tmp=/exchange
Thanks David for giving me an incentive to work on this. ;-)
