Yes.  What I had in mind was that you would create that image, upload it
to a registry GitLab-CI can pull from, and then refer to that image in
your ‘.gitlab-ci.yml’.

Ah yes, I guess that would also work, and it’s in fact less tedious.
That amounts to running https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh every time

Thanks,
