Note that Guix system containers are different from guix shell containers (and the older guix environment containers). guix shell containers are meant for interactive use and are a poor fit for long running services. Other non-Guix ways such as running long-running processes in tmuxes, running long-running services from your development repository, etc. are a quick dirty way to get things done. Note that system containers are quite a bit heavier - they are full Linux boots. +Our preferred way to deploy long-running services is to use Guix system containers.

Other non-Guix ways such as running long-running processes in tmuxes, running long-running services from your development repository, etc. are a quick dirty way to get things done. Guix system containers are fully described by a configuration file that, among other things, specifies the services run in it. These scheme configuration files are built using `guix system container' and produce a script. This script, when run, starts the described container. |
