Dear, I find a bit annoying 2 things when creating Docker images with `guix pack`.
1. The name of the tar is given at the end of the command `guix pack`. If you forget to track it, then you need to re-run `guix pack` (obviously with the very same parameters) to get it again. It is not super user-friendly. :-) What to think to add an option to name a symbolic link to this file in the store ? Currently, I am doing that by hand: guix pack -f docker ... # copy the name /gnu/store/<hash>-docker-pack.tar ln -s paste my-name In general, I choose my-name as <foo-bar>-<hash> with <foo-bar> something to quickly remember what it is and the <hash> to be sure of what it is. 2. Once loaded with `docker load < /gnu/store/<hash>-docker-pack.tar` then `docker image ls` list all the images. The REPOSITORY and TAG are not super helpful. :-) It is always: profile and <hash>. Maybe REPOSITORY should be guix and TAG should be <short-hash>-<name>. Because when one has more than 2 images, after holidays it is not possible to remember or they needs to track in a separate file what it is. Maybe I am missing something. Please correct me if there is way. Or comment if you have suggestion. All the best, simon
