Hello, In Guix, the command `guix archive' let users export files from the Guix store to an archive and then import them to another Guix store. If I understand it correctly, it is very useful to transfer a package from a computer to another.
But how can I use it to transfer a complete Guix System generation from a computer to another ? The use case is, if: - I have a small embedded computer with Guix System on it - I want to reconfigure this embedded computer into a new generation - There is no network connection on this embedded computer - This embedded computer have a limited amount of resources, so a local and offline reconfiguration will took time The idea is to use another computer, more powerful and with an Internet connection, to make the new generation for the embedded system. Without applying this new generation to this more powerfully computer. Then, using `guix archive' to export this new generation. Transfer it to the embedded computer with an USB memory. Finally import the new generation and reboot to it. Do you think it is possible ? Best regards ------- Gendre Sébastien
