You express more or less what I tried to word. The keypoint is: build the Docker image with Guix because we have a fine grain on the state and then use all the Docker machinery because the world is as it is. :-) Note that "guix pack -f docker" is one solution to create Docker images. I have just discovered another one, thanks Ludo ;-) guix system docker-image config.scm with for example config.scm [1].
