I'm interested in that information too, thanks, G=C3=A1bor.

I think the name of the service is static-web-site. This is maintenance rep=
ository:

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix/maintenance.git

And the service seems to be defined in "hydra/modules/sysadmin/web.scm" (ch=
eck for static-web-site-service-type).
