It has been more than 6 months since my last update here. There has been little progress. I have been ill and beset with complications, nothing unusual, just… not doing well.
I was wrong about the SSD being the last piece of hardware needed. For deploying the images to their respective devices, I intend to use PXE- so I need a switch and some cabling. I bought two cat6 today and a little switch should arrive in the mail.
I haven’t had any success yet building any images or systems. Only one device has a sys-config.scm ready, and that one is broken and inert.
I’ve been meaning to write more connecting the theoretical ideas alluded to in the main work (3rd post iirc) here with the implementation of Big Guix Box building little guixes for PXE clients, which after all is fairly pedestrian. In the moment I’m too hot and tired to write more than this.
If anyone is reading all this and is disappointed at the lack of progress, I’m sorry about that. Feel free to harass me about it in the comments I guess? If no one at all is reading this then I guess I’m even sorrier… but at least there’s no pressure.
