Farm.
#+end_abstract
* Install Guix on debian to be used to bootstrap the Guix os installation
Following the [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html][Binary Installation]] section from the Guix manual to install guix.
#+begin_src shell
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y guix
#+end_src
This installs the Debian's packaged version of Guix, which likely is older then what's
available upstream. As such, update our installation of Guix (following the [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Upgrading-Guix.html][Updating Guix]]
documentation specific to foreign distros').
#+begin_src shell
sudo -i guix pull
sudo systemctl restart guix-daemon.service
#+end_src
* Define Guix operating-system for the machine
See: [[file:balg02.scm][balg02.scm]]
* Bootstrap Guix
Using Guix on debian, bootstrap the machine using the configuration in [[*Define Guix operating-system for the machine][Define Guix
operating-system for the machine]].
* Modify grub config on debian to add an additional (and default) option to chainload Guix grub
- Add a menuitem for Guix in ~/etc/grub.d/40_custom~
- Modify ~/etc/default/grub~ setting ~GRUB_DEFAULT=<n>~ where ~<n>~ is the menu item number,
starting from 0.
