Re: How to create a substitute server with substitutes that failed?

[Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>]

The best would be to run "guix publish" on your server, as it will allow others to use your server as a substitute server, instead of having to manually download archives of the package and dependencies.

guix copy copies an item from one store to the other, so it doesn't make sense to send from localhost to localhost :). Maybe you wanted to use guix archive instead, to create an archive that can later be imported?
