[PATCH 0/8] Make 'guix system docker-image' readily usable |
|

Hello Guix,
On current master, ‘guix system docker-image’ produces an image without
an entry point, so one has to carefully follow the “GUIX_NEW_SYSTEM hack”
described in the manual.
Furthermore, due to other issues, the resulting image doesn’t properly
boot because it tries to mount file systems that it cannot mount, such as
/dev/shm and /dev/pts.
These patches fix both issues, such that one can just do ‘docker create’
and ‘docker start’ to get Guix System up and running in the container.
I think that’s a nice improvement. :-)
We discussed this Friday on IRC and people said that it’s quite unusual
to provide a “full OS” (with PID 1) as a Docker image; instead, people
would rather do one image per (micro)service. But anyway, that’s
the purpose of ‘guix system docker-image’, and I can imagine it has
use cases too. For example, it’s a simple way to get Guix set up in
a container, for people who want to perform Guix builds in a container.
Thoughts?

linux-container: Improve filtering of unnecessary file systems.
services: 'gc-root-service-type' now has a default value.
linux-container: Do not add %CONTAINER-FILE-SYSTEMS to Docker image
OSes.
linux-container: Compute essential services for THIS-OPERATING-SYSTEM.
system: Add 'operating-system-with-gc-roots'.
docker: 'build-docker-image' accepts an optional #:entry-point.
vm: 'system-docker-image' provides an entry point.

Pushed!
I had to rebase and adjust to changes made over the last couple of days
in that area of the code.
Feedback welcome!
