Is this correct? If you’re running a caching proxy, you’ll need 13G. However note that it’s only for one architecture and one revision of Guix. The total space needed is obviously a function of time (number of Guix revisions served) and number of architectures. You could choose an expiration time in your caching proxy that satisfies your disk space constraints, though. Our machines that run Cuirass + ‘guix publish --cache’ need roughly 41+13G since they contain both /gnu/store and /var/cache/guix/publish. HTH! Ludo’.
