This just in after the holidays from 1984 ehf, iceland. All in all not problematic, and they'd even add GuixSD to the list of ava= ilable isos once there is an iso. So, what's the status on the ISO, who's working on it? ----- Forwarded message from Siggi via RT <1984@rtracker.1984.is> ----- > Hi, >=20 > The IP is completely static and needs to be set, agetty is not a requir= ement to use the out of band access. We run kvm - qemu, and you do not n= eed non-free software for the guest nor the host to run it successfully. = If you have an iso I would happily add it to the list of isos available = to use. If or when you are ready I can also dd an image to your VPS setu= p with us, if you like. >=20 > Best >=20 > Siggi >=20 >=20 > On Thu Apr 13 16:32:33 2017, contact.ng0@cryptolab.net wrote: > > Hi, > >=20 > > at Guix/GuixSD (https://gnu.org/s/guix) we are currently looking into > > all the special requirements of virtual server platforms, testing the= m > > out to make the little tweaks that must be applied unnecessary later = on, > > improving GuixSD that way. > >=20 > > This month I won't have the money to spawn a server at 1984hosting, b= ut I'm > > interested in details in advance (and potentially I want to host a pa= rt > > of the infrastructure for my collective (https://pragmatique.xyz) the= re). > >=20 > > The usual cases for digitalocean (and linode) looks like this: > > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-04/msg00139.html > > and for IN-Berlin (a non-profit in Germany) I'm still waiting for som= e > > GRUB changes to be merged into our sources (to communicate with the > > out-of-band console server (agetty redirection)). > > Furthermore there are cases where you can simply be lucky and > > "assimilate" the mimimal host system into GuixSD: > > https://n0is.noblogs.org/post/2017/04/11/installing-guixsd-the-borg-w= ay/ > >=20 > > GuixSD is currently just distributed as an raw image, but we're worki= ng > > on making it accessible as an .iso with dual efi+legacy bios support. > >=20 > > Potential issues I'm interested in are: is agetty an requirement for > > the "out of band" console, > > do you run an dhcpd or is the IP completely > > static and details need to be specified (we have services and > > configuration tools for both cases), > > do the virtual servers require any special drivers for hardware (whic= h > > would typically be found in 'non-free' apt source of debian for examp= le), > > and anything you can point out which would help to clear up the > > situation in advance. > >=20 > >=20 > > Thanks! >=20 >=20 > --=20 > - * - * - * - * - * - > R=C3=A1=C3=B0uneyti =C3=A1starinnar/Ministry of love > 1984 ehf. > www.1984.is > 1984@1984.is > S=C3=ADmi/phone: 546 1984 >=20 ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 PGP and more: https://people.pragmatique.xyz/ng0/
