A few months ago I had a brief discussion with a representative of about offering GuixSD there. They said that could accept a bootable ISO or qcow2 image. So, we could give them the 0.12.0 GuixSD installer image, after converting it to the qcow2 format. I used the following command to convert the installer to qcow2: $ xz -d guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux.xz \ && qemu-img convert -O qcow2 guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux \ guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux.qcow2 The results are available at . I'd like for someone to try this conversion themself and verify that it creates the same qcow2 file. If it does, then we can ask Serveraptor to make it available for testing on their platform.
