Hi!

One possibility would be to give SSH access and nothing more.  That
would allow hackers to run:

  GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://leo.example.org guix build whatever

Users would still be able to retrieve build results from your machine
via ‘guix copy’ or an instance of ‘guix publish’ running on the machine.

HTH!
