Guix Data Service: Dump files missing (?)

Guix Data Service: Dump files missing (?)

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 692 bytes --]

Hi,

I'd like to get familiar with the Guix Data Service locally, but I 
haven't been able to set up the database because there's no dump files 
available in the URLs indicated in the README.

For example, https://data.guix.gnu.org/dumps loads correctly but lists 
no dumps. And when visiting 
https://data.guix.gnu.org/dumps/latest/guix_data_service_small.dump I 
get the message "Resource not found: 
/dumps/latest/guix_data_service_small.dump".

I don't see anything in the git log that makes me think that dumps 
changed location, or their generation was removed or suspended.

Maybe a temporary issue?

I forget exactly when I disabled the dumps, but it was mostly to reduce
my costs. Producing the dump files required a significant amount of free
disk space to dump the database.

Would it be helpful to have some instructions on getting some data in to
an empty database? I did this recently when setting up a new laptop.

I see.

Yes, please. Or how to add the structure alone to the empty database so 
that I can then visualize the data model in an ERD tool.

And by the way, the ".envrc" file contains the following line:

   use guix -D -f guix-dev.scm postgresql

Where does the "use" command come from? My searching for it hasn't been 
productive...

It comes from Direnv's standard library, it passes the arguments to 
`guix shell`. Please take a look at the library's man page[1].
