Guix+Jenkins slides/video

[Phil]

Hi all,

A few of you might know me from guix-help or the Guix reddit channel.

I did a talk last week and there's been some interest so thought I'd
post the link here:
https://www.devopsworld.com/agenda/session/617842

Slides are available at the bottom without registration.  The video
requires registration (and needs full screen).

This is still a work in progress, so any suggestions, comments,
questions very welcome.

Current work is focusing on generating AWS Lambda functions in Jenkins
using Guix profiles, and making Guix-Juptyer available on our Jenkins
deployments - depending on progress we could offer to do talks at Guix
Days 2021 on these.

Cheers,
Phil.

Cool!  Thanks.

(Although the registration is not so nice, another story. ;-))

Could you list what appears to you missing from Cuirass to support your needs?


Cheers,

Hi Phil

I am also really interested in this topic, where did you host the package
definition? Is it in the same repo as the source code?

@zimoun I would also prefer to use Cuirass, could you sketch a similar
setup with Cuirass?

Cheers,
Reza

Well, it is really low on my TODO list.  Do not hold your breath. :-)
Maybe, you could give a try and report your progress to
help-guix@gnu.org or guix-devel.  I am sure you will get valuable
feedback to reach the goal.

All the best,
simon

I discover this pretty late, the slides are insightful!

You mention functional overlap between Jenkins and Guix somewhere, and I
can see that, mostly when it comes with scheduling (the same sort of
problem shows up in Cuirass and in the Build Coordinator, mostly because
guix-daemon makes opaque scheduling/offloading decisions.)

The motivating example is interesting.  Do you find that ‘guix pull’ and
‘guix time-machine’ serve you well for CI, or are they too slow?
Perhaps you pin the ‘guix’ channel?

Oh so you also use Guix-Jupyter?  I’m interested in whatever feedback
you may have.  :-)

Thanks for sharing!
