You can look at the Dockerfile here:
https://gitlab.com/singularsyntax-docker-hub/guix-bootstrap

It's pretty close to exactly the manual instructions for installing Guix on
a "foreign" distro on top of Alpine Linux.

Not the point, no, but how else do I obtain a seed Guix Docker image, which
I can use to birth clean, pristine
"baby" images of Guix's own making? It would be really nice if the Guix
project itself provided such an image!
