“Managing Servers with GNU Guix: A Tutorial”

Hello Guix!

Jakob wrote a great tutorial on how to use ‘guix deploy’ to deploy Guix
System to one machine or to several virtual private servers (VPSs):

Give it a spin, and spread the word!

Great tutorial! Thanks.

On questions: For the first example: Does guix installed on the manged
host need to be up-todate? Or will the update be done as part of the
"operating system closure", which is send to the managed host?

I spotted a minor error/typo, which is a tiny bit confusing for newbies:
In the first example it reads "|(define os …" whereas in the text below
"%system" is referenced. (Also ||"/home/alyssa/.ssh/server_key" is a bit
misleading. I suggest "…/key-for-server")|
