Yes, it’s a known limitation. I was thinking we could have the VM talk to the host daemon socket: guix system vm config.scm --share=/var/guix/daemon-socket However that doesn’t work, I suppose 9p doesn’t support forwarding sockets. The other option would be to make /gnu/store a writable overlayfs, which should allow us to run a local guix-daemon with its own store in the VM. Ludo’.
