[PATCH 0/7] Add "guix system docker-image" command |
Date: |
Thu, 22 Feb 2018 11:29:33 +0100 |
Hi,
This patch series adds a new command: "guix system docker-image". I
have the following questions for reviewers:
* In raw-initrd and base-initrd (gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm), why is
%guile-static-stripped the right Guile to use by default?
* Instead of passing a Guile package to raw-initrd and base-initrd,
would it be better to use a parameter (e.g., %guile-for-initrd),
like we do for %guile-for-build?
* In system-docker-image (gnu/system/vm.scm), why is it necessary to
define a custom (guix config) module? I copied some of the logic
from docker-image (guix/scripts/pack.scm), and it works, but I do
not understand this part.
* Similarly, in gnu/system/vm.scm, why do we autoload libgcrypt? I do
not understand why we cannot simply #:use-module (gnu packages
gnupg) like we do with all the other modules here.
* Similarly, in gnu/system/vm.scm, why do we use (ungexp-native json)?
In the code, this is #+json and it occurs close to the comment
"Guile-JSON is required by (guix docker)."
* Similarly, in gnu/system/vm.scm, there is a vestigial comment which
says "This variable is unused but allows us to add INPUTS-TO-COPY as
inputs" - this comment actually occurs in multiple places, not just
the code I've added. I think it refers to a variable that no longer
exists, and I think that my variable to-register serves the intended
purpose now, which is: add os-drv's inputs to the inputs of the gexp
I'm building, so that they will be available on the build side. So
I'm thinking maybe we should just change this comment to say
something more like that. WDYT?
I have verified that this change builds and its tests pass. I am
using it to run my very own Docker image today. I hope you find it
useful, too!
Chris Marusich (7):
tests: Add tests for "guix pack".
vm: Allow control of deduplication in root-partition-initializer.
system: Allow customization of the initrd's Guile.
docker: Allow the use of a custom temporary directory.
docker: Allow the addition of extra files into the image.
system: Add "guix system docker-image" command.
tests: Add tests for "guix system disk-image" et al.

Hi Ludo and Danny,
I've committed this patch set to master
(8e88f6fa8236a1fe66912957ecacae348355ec15 is the last commit in the
series)! I'll watch Hydra to make sure it doesn't cause any unexpected
breakage.

That's a good idea. I've included that improvement in my changes.

Thank you and Danny for taking the time to review this patch series!
Your feedback definitely helped make the code better.
Now I just need to go write a blog post... :-)
