I have been running a GNU Social instance for 1.5 years now. To install, I just cloned the git repo, and set up nginx with the proper document root. However, GNU Social requires some folders (such as file/) to be writable. It puts uploaded media files, among other things, in those directories. How would Guix handle this? In Guix, the entire package is in the store, and the store is read-only. =
