I'm experimenting some more with GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET, and while when
using guix offload I see a socket a /run/user/1000/destination/socket,
there's nothing similar when using
GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://other-machine. Depending on the machine in
question it can take several minutes before a build is started, and I'm
having a hard time maintaining the connection until the end of a longer
build like gccgo.

What’s this file?

That’s because the daemon RPC protocol is suboptimal in that it makes
lots of round trips, and round trips are very costly over SSH due to
higher latency.

Eventually we’ll need to adjust/change the protocol, but there’s no
short-term solution.

(For connections over TCP, ‘open-inet-socket’ in (guix store) uses
TCP_NODELAY to make this acceptable.  There’s #:nodelay #t in (guix
ssh), but that doesn’t much as much of a difference.)

Is it that the SSH server eventually drop the connection?

HTH,
Ludo’.

Hi Efraim,

Should we close this one?
