Subject: Installing software inside containers
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2023 15:42:28 -0600 [thread overview]

Hi Guix,
I can't install software inside a Guix System container. I need this to
use Guix Home inside a container.
$ guix install hello
guix install: error: remounting /gnu/store writable: Operation not permitted
Do I need to --share=/gnu/store?
I tried sharing a blank ./gnu directory, but it complained that there
were no programs to run the system.
(Is sharing the host's /gnu/store with a container safe?)
I created the container with
guix system container --network --share=home container.scm
Also, how do I map arbitrary directories? With Podman, I would do
/home/$USER/.container/home/user:/home/user
Thanks,
Caleb
