Small Guix

🌿 Welcome to a small Guix channel!

What is a Guix channel?

A channel is roughly the Guix equivalent of Ubuntu's PPAs or container registries. It's a software repository providing Guix package and service definitions.

This channel is a staging area for stuff I plan to upstream somewhere may it be Guix mainline or a community channel like nonguix. Packages or services like the following were born here and with time contributed where suitable:

• Anytype
• Google Chrome
• chromium-binary-build-system
• misc K8s stuff
• OCI Services
• Restic Backup service
• rootless Podman
• subids-service-type
• Guix Home dotfiles

It should be somewhat stable but no packages from this channel are used in production environments so beware. You can search for package and service definitions from this channel and many others at toys.whereis.みんな.

Substitutes

Unfortunately currently there are no resources to distribute substitutes.

Configure

To configure Guix for using this channel you need to create a .config/guix/channels.scm file with the following content:

(cons* (channel
        (name 'small-guix)
        (url "https://codeberg.org/fishinthecalculator/small-guix.git")
        (branch "main")
        ;; Enable signature verification:
        (introduction
         (make-channel-introduction
          "f260da13666cd41ae3202270784e61e062a3999c"
          (openpgp-fingerprint
           "8D10 60B9 6BB8 292E 829B  7249 AED4 1CC1 93B7 01E2"))))
       %default-channels)

Otherwise, if you already have a .config/guix/channels.scm you can simply prepend this channel to the preexisting ones:

(cons* (channel
        (name 'small-guix)
        (url "https://codeberg.org/fishinthecalculator/small-guix.git")
        (branch "main")
        ;; Enable signature verification:
        (introduction
         (make-channel-introduction
          "f260da13666cd41ae3202270784e61e062a3999c"
          (openpgp-fingerprint
           "8D10 60B9 6BB8 292E 829B  7249 AED4 1CC1 93B7 01E2"))))
       (channel
        (name 'nonguix)
        (url "https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix")
        ;; Enable signature verification:
        (introduction
         (make-channel-introduction
          "897c1a470da759236cc11798f4e0a5f7d4d59fbc"
          (openpgp-fingerprint
           "2A39 3FFF 68F4 EF7A 3D29  12AF 6F51 20A0 22FB B2D5"))))
       %default-channels)
