Yes:

If you'd like, you can fetch the exact same image and look around yourself:

docker pull singularsyntax/guix:master-a5374cd # same as
singularsyntax/guix:latest
CONTAINER=`docker run --detach --tty --privileged
singularsyntax/guix:master-a5374cd`
docker exec --interactive --tty $CONTAINER
/run/current-system/profile/bin/bash --login
