- @node Introduction
- @chapter Introduction
- @cindex purpose
- GNU Guix@footnote{``Guix'' is pronounced like ``geeks'', or ``ɡiːks''
- using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).} is a package
- management tool for and distribution of the GNU system.
- Guix makes it easy for unprivileged
- users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages, to roll back to a
- previous package set, to build packages from source, and generally
- assists with the creation and maintenance of software environments.
- @cindex Guix System
- @cindex GuixSD, now Guix System
- @cindex Guix System Distribution, now Guix System
- You can install GNU@tie{}Guix on top of an existing GNU/Linux system where it
- complements the available tools without interference (@pxref{Installation}),
- or you can use it as a standalone operating system distribution,
- @dfn{Guix@tie{}System}@footnote{We used to refer to Guix System as ``Guix
- System Distribution'' or ``GuixSD''. We now consider it makes more sense to
- group everything under the ``Guix'' banner since, after all, Guix System is
- readily available through the @command{guix system} command, even if you're
- using a different distro underneath!}. @xref{GNU Distribution}.
- @menu
- * Managing Software the Guix Way:: What's special.
- * GNU Distribution:: The packages and tools.
- @end menu
- @node Managing Software the Guix Way
- @section Managing Software the Guix Way
- @cindex user interfaces
- Guix provides a command-line package management interface
- (@pxref{Package Management}), tools to help with software development
- (@pxref{Development}), command-line utilities for more advanced usage
- (@pxref{Utilities}), as well as Scheme programming interfaces
- (@pxref{Programming Interface}).
- @cindex build daemon
- Its @dfn{build daemon} is responsible for building packages on behalf of
- users (@pxref{Setting Up the Daemon}) and for downloading pre-built
- binaries from authorized sources (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- @cindex extensibility of the distribution
- @cindex customization, of packages
- Guix includes package definitions for many GNU and non-GNU packages, all
- of which @uref{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html, respect the
- user's computing freedom}. It is @emph{extensible}: users can write
- their own package definitions (@pxref{Defining Packages}) and make them
- available as independent package modules (@pxref{Package Modules}). It
- is also @emph{customizable}: users can @emph{derive} specialized package
- definitions from existing ones, including from the command line
- (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}).
- @cindex functional package management
- @cindex isolation
- Under the hood, Guix implements the @dfn{functional package management}
- discipline pioneered by Nix (@pxref{Acknowledgments}).
- In Guix, the package build and installation process is seen
- as a @emph{function}, in the mathematical sense. That function takes inputs,
- such as build scripts, a compiler, and libraries, and
- returns an installed package. As a pure function, its result depends
- solely on its inputs---for instance, it cannot refer to software or
- scripts that were not explicitly passed as inputs. A build function
- always produces the same result when passed a given set of inputs. It
- cannot alter the environment of the running system in
- any way; for instance, it cannot create, modify, or delete files outside
- of its build and installation directories. This is achieved by running
- build processes in isolated environments (or @dfn{containers}), where only their
- explicit inputs are visible.
- @cindex store
- The result of package build functions is @dfn{cached} in the file
- system, in a special directory called @dfn{the store} (@pxref{The
- Store}). Each package is installed in a directory of its own in the
- store---by default under @file{/gnu/store}. The directory name contains
- a hash of all the inputs used to build that package; thus, changing an
- input yields a different directory name.
- This approach is the foundation for the salient features of Guix: support
- for transactional package upgrade and rollback, per-user installation, and
- garbage collection of packages (@pxref{Features}).
- @node GNU Distribution
- @section GNU Distribution
- @cindex Guix System
- Guix comes with a distribution of the GNU system consisting entirely of
- free software@footnote{The term ``free'' here refers to the
- @url{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html,freedom provided to
- users of that software}.}. The
- distribution can be installed on its own (@pxref{System Installation}),
- but it is also possible to install Guix as a package manager on top of
- an installed GNU/Linux system (@pxref{Installation}). When we need to
- distinguish between the two, we refer to the standalone distribution as
- Guix@tie{}System.
- The distribution provides core GNU packages such as GNU libc, GCC, and
- Binutils, as well as many GNU and non-GNU applications. The complete
- list of available packages can be browsed
- @url{https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages,on-line} or by
- running @command{guix package} (@pxref{Invoking guix package}):
- @example
- guix package --list-available
- @end example
- Our goal is to provide a practical 100% free software distribution of
- Linux-based and other variants of GNU, with a focus on the promotion and
- tight integration of GNU components, and an emphasis on programs and
- tools that help users exert that freedom.
- Packages are currently available on the following platforms:
- @table @code
- @item x86_64-linux
- Intel/AMD @code{x86_64} architecture, Linux-Libre kernel.
- @item i686-linux
- Intel 32-bit architecture (IA32), Linux-Libre kernel.
- @item armhf-linux
- ARMv7-A architecture with hard float, Thumb-2 and NEON,
- using the EABI hard-float application binary interface (ABI),
- and Linux-Libre kernel.
- @item aarch64-linux
- little-endian 64-bit ARMv8-A processors, Linux-Libre kernel.
- @item i586-gnu
- @uref{https://hurd.gnu.org, GNU/Hurd} on the Intel 32-bit architecture
- (IA32).
- This configuration is experimental and under development. The easiest
- way for you to give it a try is by setting up an instance of
- @code{hurd-vm-service-type} on your GNU/Linux machine
- (@pxref{transparent-emulation-qemu, @code{hurd-vm-service-type}}).
- @xref{Contributing}, on how to help!
- @item mips64el-linux (deprecated)
- little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors, specifically the Loongson series,
- n32 ABI, and Linux-Libre kernel. This configuration is no longer fully
- supported; in particular, there is no ongoing work to ensure that this
- architecture still works. Should someone decide they wish to revive this
- architecture then the code is still available.
- @end table
- With Guix@tie{}System, you @emph{declare} all aspects of the operating system
- configuration and Guix takes care of instantiating the configuration in a
- transactional, reproducible, and stateless fashion (@pxref{System
- Configuration}). Guix System uses the Linux-libre kernel, the Shepherd
- initialization system (@pxref{Introduction,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd
- Manual}), the well-known GNU utilities and tool chain, as well as the
- graphical environment or system services of your choice.
- Guix System is available on all the above platforms except
- @code{mips64el-linux}.
- @noindent
- For information on porting to other architectures or kernels,
- @pxref{Porting}.
- Building this distribution is a cooperative effort, and you are invited
- to join! @xref{Contributing}, for information about how you can help.

- @node Installation
- @chapter Installation
- @cindex installing Guix
- @quotation Note
- We recommend the use of this
- @uref{https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh,
- shell installer script} to install Guix on top of a running GNU/Linux system,
- thereafter called a @dfn{foreign distro}.@footnote{This section is concerned
- with the installation of the package manager, which can be done on top of a
- running GNU/Linux system. If, instead, you want to install the complete GNU
- operating system, @pxref{System Installation}.} The script automates the
- download, installation, and initial configuration of Guix. It should be run
- as the root user.
- @end quotation
- @cindex foreign distro
- @cindex directories related to foreign distro
- When installed on a foreign distro, GNU@tie{}Guix complements the available
- tools without interference. Its data lives exclusively in two directories,
- usually @file{/gnu/store} and @file{/var/guix}; other files on your system,
- such as @file{/etc}, are left untouched.
- Once installed, Guix can be updated by running @command{guix pull}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix pull}).
- If you prefer to perform the installation steps manually or want to tweak
- them, you may find the following subsections useful. They describe the
- software requirements of Guix, as well as how to install it manually and get
- ready to use it.
- @menu
- * Binary Installation:: Getting Guix running in no time!
- * Requirements:: Software needed to build and run Guix.
- * Running the Test Suite:: Testing Guix.
- * Setting Up the Daemon:: Preparing the build daemon's environment.
- * Invoking guix-daemon:: Running the build daemon.
- * Application Setup:: Application-specific setup.
- * Upgrading Guix:: Upgrading Guix and its build daemon.
- @end menu
- @node Binary Installation
- @section Binary Installation
- @cindex installing Guix from binaries
- @cindex installer script
- This section describes how to install Guix on an arbitrary system from a
- self-contained tarball providing binaries for Guix and for all its
- dependencies. This is often quicker than installing from source, which
- is described in the next sections. The only requirement is to have
- GNU@tie{}tar and Xz.
- @c Note duplicated from the ``Installation'' node.
- @quotation Note
- We recommend the use of this
- @uref{https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh,
- shell installer script}. The script automates the download, installation, and
- initial configuration steps described below. It should be run as the root
- user. As root, you can thus run this:
- @example
- cd /tmp
- wget https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh
- chmod +x guix-install.sh
- ./guix-install.sh
- @end example
- When you're done, @pxref{Application Setup} for extra configuration you
- might need, and @ref{Getting Started} for your first steps!
- @end quotation
- Installing goes along these lines:
- @enumerate
- @item
- @cindex downloading Guix binary
- Download the binary tarball from
- @indicateurl{@value{BASE-URL}/guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.x86_64-linux.tar.xz},
- where @code{x86_64-linux} can be replaced with @code{i686-linux} for an
- @code{i686} (32-bits) machine already running the kernel Linux, and so on
- (@pxref{GNU Distribution}).
- @c The following is somewhat duplicated in ``System Installation''.
- Make sure to download the associated @file{.sig} file and to verify the
- authenticity of the tarball against it, along these lines:
- @example
- $ wget @value{BASE-URL}/guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig
- $ gpg --verify guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig
- @end example
- If that command fails because you do not have the required public key,
- then run this command to import it:
- @example
- $ wget @value{OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL} \
- -qO - | gpg --import -
- @end example
- @noindent
- and rerun the @code{gpg --verify} command.
- Take note that a warning like ``This key is not certified with a trusted
- signature!'' is normal.
- @c end authentication part
- @item
- Now, you need to become the @code{root} user. Depending on your distribution,
- you may have to run @code{su -} or @code{sudo -i}. As @code{root}, run:
- @example
- # cd /tmp
- # tar --warning=no-timestamp -xf \
- /path/to/guix-binary-@value{VERSION}.x86_64-linux.tar.xz
- # mv var/guix /var/ && mv gnu /
- @end example
- This creates @file{/gnu/store} (@pxref{The Store}) and @file{/var/guix}.
- The latter contains a ready-to-use profile for @code{root} (see next
- step).
- Do @emph{not} unpack the tarball on a working Guix system since that
- would overwrite its own essential files.
- The @option{--warning=no-timestamp} option makes sure GNU@tie{}tar does
- not emit warnings about ``implausibly old time stamps'' (such
- warnings were triggered by GNU@tie{}tar 1.26 and older; recent
- versions are fine).
- They stem from the fact that all the
- files in the archive have their modification time set to 1 (which
- means January 1st, 1970). This is done on purpose to make sure the
- archive content is independent of its creation time, thus making it
- reproducible.
- @item
- Make the profile available under @file{~root/.config/guix/current}, which is
- where @command{guix pull} will install updates (@pxref{Invoking guix pull}):
- @example
- # mkdir -p ~root/.config/guix
- # ln -sf /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix \
- ~root/.config/guix/current
- @end example
- Source @file{etc/profile} to augment @env{PATH} and other relevant
- environment variables:
- @example
- # GUIX_PROFILE="`echo ~root`/.config/guix/current" ; \
- source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile
- @end example
- @item
- Create the group and user accounts for build users as explained below
- (@pxref{Build Environment Setup}).
- @item
- Run the daemon, and set it to automatically start on boot.
- If your host distro uses the systemd init system, this can be achieved
- with these commands:
- @c Versions of systemd that supported symlinked service files are not
- @c yet widely deployed, so we should suggest that users copy the service
- @c files into place.
- @c
- @c See this thread for more information:
- @c https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-01/msg01199.html
- @example
- # cp ~root/.config/guix/current/lib/systemd/system/gnu-store.mount \
- ~root/.config/guix/current/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service \
- /etc/systemd/system/
- # systemctl enable --now gnu-store.mount guix-daemon
- @end example
- If your host distro uses the Upstart init system:
- @example
- # initctl reload-configuration
- # cp ~root/.config/guix/current/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf \
- /etc/init/
- # start guix-daemon
- @end example
- Otherwise, you can still start the daemon manually with:
- @example
- # ~root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix-daemon \
- --build-users-group=guixbuild
- @end example
- @item
- Make the @command{guix} command available to other users on the machine,
- for instance with:
- @example
- # mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
- # cd /usr/local/bin
- # ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix
- @end example
- It is also a good idea to make the Info version of this manual available
- there:

- # mkdir -p /usr/local/share/info
- # cd /usr/local/share/info
- # for i in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info/* ;

- That way, assuming @file{/usr/local/share/info} is in the search path,
- running @command{info guix} will open this manual (@pxref{Other Info

- Voilà, the installation is complete!
- You can confirm that Guix is working by installing a sample package into
- the root profile:
- @example
- # guix install hello

- The binary installation tarball can be (re)produced and verified simply
- by running the following command in the Guix source tree:
- @example
- make guix-binary.@var{system}.tar.xz

- @node Requirements
- @section Requirements
- This section lists requirements when building Guix from source. The
- build procedure for Guix is the same as for other GNU software, and is
- not covered here. Please see the files @file{README} and @file{INSTALL}
- in the Guix source tree for additional details.
- @cindex official website
- GNU Guix is available for download from its website at
- @url{https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/}.
- GNU Guix depends on the following packages:
- @itemize
- @item @url{https://gnu.org/software/guile/, GNU Guile}, version 3.0.x or
- 2.2.x;
- @item @url{https://notabug.org/cwebber/guile-gcrypt, Guile-Gcrypt}, version

- @end itemize
- The following dependencies are optional:
- @itemize
- @item
- @c Note: We need at least 0.13.0 for #:nodelay.
- Support for build offloading (@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}) and
- @command{guix copy} (@pxref{Invoking guix copy}) depends on
- @uref{https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ssh, Guile-SSH},

- the @code{crate} importer (@pxref{Invoking guix import}).
- @item
- When @url{http://www.bzip.org, libbz2} is available,
- @command{guix-daemon} can use it to compress build logs.
- @end itemize
- Unless @option{--disable-daemon} was passed to @command{configure}, the
- following packages are also needed:
- @itemize
- @item @url{https://gnupg.org/, GNU libgcrypt};
- @item @url{https://sqlite.org, SQLite 3};
- @item @url{https://gcc.gnu.org, GCC's g++}, with support for the
- C++11 standard.
- @end itemize
- @cindex state directory
- When configuring Guix on a system that already has a Guix installation,
- be sure to specify the same state directory as the existing installation
- using the @option{--localstatedir} option of the @command{configure}
- script (@pxref{Directory Variables, @code{localstatedir},, standards,
- GNU Coding Standards}). Usually, this @var{localstatedir} option is
- set to the value @file{/var}. The @command{configure} script protects
- against unintended misconfiguration of @var{localstatedir} so you do not
- inadvertently corrupt your store (@pxref{The Store}).
- @node Running the Test Suite
- @section Running the Test Suite
- @cindex test suite
- After a successful @command{configure} and @code{make} run, it is a good
- idea to run the test suite. It can help catch issues with the setup or
- environment, or bugs in Guix itself---and really, reporting test
- failures is a good way to help improve the software. To run the test
- suite, type:
- @example
- make check
- @end example
- Test cases can run in parallel: you can use the @code{-j} option of
- GNU@tie{}make to speed things up. The first run may take a few minutes
- on a recent machine; subsequent runs will be faster because the store
- that is created for test purposes will already have various things in
- cache.
- It is also possible to run a subset of the tests by defining the
- @code{TESTS} makefile variable as in this example:
- @example
- make check TESTS="tests/store.scm tests/cpio.scm"
- @end example
- By default, tests results are displayed at a file level. In order to
- see the details of every individual test cases, it is possible to define
- the @code{SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS} makefile variable as in this example:
- @example
- make check TESTS="tests/base64.scm" SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--brief=no"
- @end example
- The underlying SRFI 64 custom Automake test driver used for the 'check'
- test suite (located at @file{build-aux/test-driver.scm}) also allows
- selecting which test cases to run at a finer level, via its
- @option{--select} and @option{--exclude} options. Here's an example, to
- run all the test cases from the @file{tests/packages.scm} test file
- whose names start with ``transaction-upgrade-entry'':
- @example
- export SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--select=^transaction-upgrade-entry"
- make check TESTS="tests/packages.scm"
- @end example
- Those wishing to inspect the results of failed tests directly from the
- command line can add the @option{--errors-only=yes} option to the
- @code{SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS} makefile variable and set the @code{VERBOSE}
- Automake makefile variable, as in:
- @example
- make check SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--brief=no --errors-only=yes" VERBOSE=1
- @end example
- The @option{--show-duration=yes} option can be used to print the
- duration of the individual test cases, when used in combination with
- @option{--brief=no}:
- @example
- make check SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--brief=no --show-duration=yes"
- @end example
- @xref{Parallel Test Harness,,,automake,GNU Automake} for more
- information about the Automake Parallel Test Harness.
- Upon failure, please email @email{bug-guix@@gnu.org} and attach the
- @file{test-suite.log} file. Please specify the Guix version being used
- as well as version numbers of the dependencies (@pxref{Requirements}) in
- your message.
- Guix also comes with a whole-system test suite that tests complete
- Guix System instances. It can only run on systems where
- Guix is already installed, using:
- @example
- make check-system
- @end example
- @noindent
- or, again, by defining @code{TESTS} to select a subset of tests to run:
- @example
- make check-system TESTS="basic mcron"
- @end example
- These system tests are defined in the @code{(gnu tests @dots{})}
- modules. They work by running the operating systems under test with
- lightweight instrumentation in a virtual machine (VM). They can be
- computationally intensive or rather cheap, depending on whether
- substitutes are available for their dependencies (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- Some of them require a lot of storage space to hold VM images.
- Again in case of test failures, please send @email{bug-guix@@gnu.org}
- all the details.
- @node Setting Up the Daemon
- @section Setting Up the Daemon
- @cindex daemon
- Operations such as building a package or running the garbage collector
- are all performed by a specialized process, the @dfn{build daemon}, on
- behalf of clients. Only the daemon may access the store and its
- associated database. Thus, any operation that manipulates the store
- goes through the daemon. For instance, command-line tools such as
- @command{guix package} and @command{guix build} communicate with the
- daemon (@i{via} remote procedure calls) to instruct it what to do.
- The following sections explain how to prepare the build daemon's
- environment. See also @ref{Substitutes}, for information on how to allow
- the daemon to download pre-built binaries.
- @menu
- * Build Environment Setup:: Preparing the isolated build environment.
- * Daemon Offload Setup:: Offloading builds to remote machines.
- * SELinux Support:: Using an SELinux policy for the daemon.
- @end menu
- @node Build Environment Setup
- @subsection Build Environment Setup
- @cindex build environment
- In a standard multi-user setup, Guix and its daemon---the
- @command{guix-daemon} program---are installed by the system
- administrator; @file{/gnu/store} is owned by @code{root} and
- @command{guix-daemon} runs as @code{root}. Unprivileged users may use
- Guix tools to build packages or otherwise access the store, and the
- daemon will do it on their behalf, ensuring that the store is kept in a
- consistent state, and allowing built packages to be shared among users.
- @cindex build users
- When @command{guix-daemon} runs as @code{root}, you may not want package
- build processes themselves to run as @code{root} too, for obvious
- security reasons. To avoid that, a special pool of @dfn{build users}
- should be created for use by build processes started by the daemon.
- These build users need not have a shell and a home directory: they will
- just be used when the daemon drops @code{root} privileges in build
- processes. Having several such users allows the daemon to launch
- distinct build processes under separate UIDs, which guarantees that they
- do not interfere with each other---an essential feature since builds are
- regarded as pure functions (@pxref{Introduction}).
- On a GNU/Linux system, a build user pool may be created like this (using
- Bash syntax and the @code{shadow} commands):
- @c See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-01/msg00239.html
- @c for why `-G' is needed.
- @example
- # groupadd --system guixbuild
- # for i in `seq -w 1 10`;
- do
- useradd -g guixbuild -G guixbuild \
- -d /var/empty -s `which nologin` \
- -c "Guix build user $i" --system \
- guixbuilder$i;
- done
- @end example
- @noindent
- The number of build users determines how many build jobs may run in
- parallel, as specified by the @option{--max-jobs} option
- (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, @option{--max-jobs}}). To use
- @command{guix system vm} and related commands, you may need to add the
- build users to the @code{kvm} group so they can access @file{/dev/kvm},
- using @code{-G guixbuild,kvm} instead of @code{-G guixbuild}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
- The @code{guix-daemon} program may then be run as @code{root} with the
- following command@footnote{If your machine uses the systemd init system,
- dropping the @file{@var{prefix}/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service}
- file in @file{/etc/systemd/system} will ensure that
- @command{guix-daemon} is automatically started. Similarly, if your
- machine uses the Upstart init system, drop the
- @file{@var{prefix}/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf}
- file in @file{/etc/init}.}:
- @example
- # guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
- @end example
- @cindex chroot
- @noindent
- This way, the daemon starts build processes in a chroot, under one of
- the @code{guixbuilder} users. On GNU/Linux, by default, the chroot
- environment contains nothing but:
- @c Keep this list in sync with libstore/build.cc! -----------------------
- @itemize
- @item
- a minimal @code{/dev} directory, created mostly independently from the
- host @code{/dev}@footnote{``Mostly'', because while the set of files
- that appear in the chroot's @code{/dev} is fixed, most of these files
- can only be created if the host has them.};
- @item
- the @code{/proc} directory; it only shows the processes of the container
- since a separate PID name space is used;
- @item
- @file{/etc/passwd} with an entry for the current user and an entry for
- user @file{nobody};
- @item
- @file{/etc/group} with an entry for the user's group;
- @item
- @file{/etc/hosts} with an entry that maps @code{localhost} to
- @code{127.0.0.1};
- @item
- a writable @file{/tmp} directory.
- @end itemize
- You can influence the directory where the daemon stores build trees
- @i{via} the @env{TMPDIR} environment variable. However, the build tree
- within the chroot is always called @file{/tmp/guix-build-@var{name}.drv-0},
- where @var{name} is the derivation name---e.g., @code{coreutils-8.24}.
- This way, the value of @env{TMPDIR} does not leak inside build
- environments, which avoids discrepancies in cases where build processes
- capture the name of their build tree.
- @vindex http_proxy
- @vindex https_proxy
- The daemon also honors the @env{http_proxy} and @env{https_proxy}
- environment variables for HTTP and HTTPS downloads it performs, be it
- for fixed-output derivations (@pxref{Derivations}) or for substitutes
- (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- If you are installing Guix as an unprivileged user, it is still possible
- to run @command{guix-daemon} provided you pass @option{--disable-chroot}.
- However, build processes will not be isolated from one another, and not
- from the rest of the system. Thus, build processes may interfere with
- each other, and may access programs, libraries, and other files
- available on the system---making it much harder to view them as
- @emph{pure} functions.
- @node Daemon Offload Setup
- @subsection Using the Offload Facility
- @cindex offloading
- @cindex build hook
- When desired, the build daemon can @dfn{offload} derivation builds to
- other machines running Guix, using the @code{offload} @dfn{build
- hook}@footnote{This feature is available only when
- @uref{https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ssh, Guile-SSH} is
- present.}. When that feature is enabled, a list of user-specified build
- machines is read from @file{/etc/guix/machines.scm}; every time a build
- is requested, for instance via @code{guix build}, the daemon attempts to
- offload it to one of the machines that satisfy the constraints of the
- derivation, in particular its system types---e.g., @code{x86_64-linux}.
- A single machine can have multiple system types, either because its
- architecture natively supports it, via emulation
- (@pxref{transparent-emulation-qemu, Transparent Emulation with QEMU}),
- or both. Missing prerequisites for the build are
- copied over SSH to the target machine, which then proceeds with the
- build; upon success the output(s) of the build are copied back to the
- initial machine. The offload facility comes with a basic scheduler that
- attempts to select the best machine. The best machine is chosen among
- the available machines based on criteria such as:
- @enumerate
- @item
- The availability of a build slot. A build machine can have as many
- build slots (connections) as the value of the @code{parallel-builds}
- field of its @code{build-machine} object.
- @item
- Its relative speed, as defined via the @code{speed} field of its
- @code{build-machine} object.
- @item
- Its load. The normalized machine load must be lower than a threshold
- value, configurable via the @code{overload-threshold} field of its
- @code{build-machine} object.
- @item
- Disk space availability. More than a 100 MiB must be available.
- @end enumerate
- The @file{/etc/guix/machines.scm} file typically looks like this:
- @lisp
- (list (build-machine
- (name "eightysix.example.org")
- (systems (list "x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"))
- (host-key "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3Nza@dots{}")
- (user "bob")
- (speed 2.)) ;incredibly fast!
- (build-machine
- (name "armeight.example.org")
- (systems (list "aarch64-linux"))
- (host-key "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza@dots{}")
- (user "alice")
- (private-key
- (string-append (getenv "HOME")
- "/.ssh/identity-for-guix"))))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- In the example above we specify a list of two build machines, one for
- the @code{x86_64} and @code{i686} architectures and one for the
- @code{aarch64} architecture.
- In fact, this file is---not surprisingly!---a Scheme file that is
- evaluated when the @code{offload} hook is started. Its return value
- must be a list of @code{build-machine} objects. While this example
- shows a fixed list of build machines, one could imagine, say, using
- DNS-SD to return a list of potential build machines discovered in the
- local network (@pxref{Introduction, Guile-Avahi,, guile-avahi, Using
- Avahi in Guile Scheme Programs}). The @code{build-machine} data type is
- detailed below.
- @deftp {Data Type} build-machine
- This data type represents build machines to which the daemon may offload
- builds. The important fields are:
- @table @code
- @item name
- The host name of the remote machine.
- @item systems
- The system types the remote machine supports---e.g., @code{(list
- "x86_64-linux" "i686-linux")}.
- @item user
- The user account to use when connecting to the remote machine over SSH.
- Note that the SSH key pair must @emph{not} be passphrase-protected, to
- allow non-interactive logins.
- @item host-key
- This must be the machine's SSH @dfn{public host key} in OpenSSH format.
- This is used to authenticate the machine when we connect to it. It is a
- long string that looks like this:
- @example
- ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC@dots{}mde+UhL hint@@example.org
- @end example
- If the machine is running the OpenSSH daemon, @command{sshd}, the host
- key can be found in a file such as
- @file{/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub}.
- If the machine is running the SSH daemon of GNU@tie{}lsh,
- @command{lshd}, the host key is in @file{/etc/lsh/host-key.pub} or a
- similar file. It can be converted to the OpenSSH format using
- @command{lsh-export-key} (@pxref{Converting keys,,, lsh, LSH Manual}):
- @example
- $ lsh-export-key --openssh < /etc/lsh/host-key.pub
- ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAEOp8FoQAAAQEAs1eB46LV@dots{}
- @end example
- @end table
- A number of optional fields may be specified:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{port} (default: @code{22})
- Port number of SSH server on the machine.
- @item @code{private-key} (default: @file{~root/.ssh/id_rsa})
- The SSH private key file to use when connecting to the machine, in
- OpenSSH format. This key must not be protected with a passphrase.
- Note that the default value is the private key @emph{of the root
- account}. Make sure it exists if you use the default.
- @item @code{compression} (default: @code{"zlib@@openssh.com,zlib"})
- @itemx @code{compression-level} (default: @code{3})
- The SSH-level compression methods and compression level requested.
- Note that offloading relies on SSH compression to reduce bandwidth usage
- when transferring files to and from build machines.
- @item @code{daemon-socket} (default: @code{"/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket"})
- File name of the Unix-domain socket @command{guix-daemon} is listening
- to on that machine.
- @item @code{overload-threshold} (default: @code{0.6})
- The load threshold above which a potential offload machine is
- disregarded by the offload scheduler. The value roughly translates to
- the total processor usage of the build machine, ranging from 0.0 (0%) to
- 1.0 (100%). It can also be disabled by setting
- @code{overload-threshold} to @code{#f}.
- @item @code{parallel-builds} (default: @code{1})
- The number of builds that may run in parallel on the machine.
- @item @code{speed} (default: @code{1.0})
- A ``relative speed factor''. The offload scheduler will tend to prefer
- machines with a higher speed factor.
- @item @code{features} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of strings denoting specific features supported by the machine.
- An example is @code{"kvm"} for machines that have the KVM Linux modules
- and corresponding hardware support. Derivations can request features by
- name, and they will be scheduled on matching build machines.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- The @command{guix} command must be in the search path on the build
- machines. You can check whether this is the case by running:
- @example
- ssh build-machine guix repl --version
- @end example
- There is one last thing to do once @file{machines.scm} is in place. As
- explained above, when offloading, files are transferred back and forth
- between the machine stores. For this to work, you first need to
- generate a key pair on each machine to allow the daemon to export signed
- archives of files from the store (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}):
- @example
- # guix archive --generate-key
- @end example
- @noindent
- Each build machine must authorize the key of the master machine so that
- it accepts store items it receives from the master:
- @example
- # guix archive --authorize < master-public-key.txt
- @end example
- @noindent
- Likewise, the master machine must authorize the key of each build machine.
- All the fuss with keys is here to express pairwise mutual trust
- relations between the master and the build machines. Concretely, when
- the master receives files from a build machine (and @i{vice versa}), its
- build daemon can make sure they are genuine, have not been tampered
- with, and that they are signed by an authorized key.
- @cindex offload test
- To test whether your setup is operational, run this command on the
- master node:
- @example
- # guix offload test
- @end example
- This will attempt to connect to each of the build machines specified in
- @file{/etc/guix/machines.scm}, make sure Guix is
- available on each machine, attempt to export to the machine and import
- from it, and report any error in the process.
- If you want to test a different machine file, just specify it on the
- command line:
- @example
- # guix offload test machines-qualif.scm
- @end example
- Last, you can test the subset of the machines whose name matches a
- regular expression like this:
- @example
- # guix offload test machines.scm '\.gnu\.org$'
- @end example
- @cindex offload status
- To display the current load of all build hosts, run this command on the
- main node:
- @example
- # guix offload status
- @end example
- @node SELinux Support
- @subsection SELinux Support
- @cindex SELinux, daemon policy
- @cindex mandatory access control, SELinux
- @cindex security, guix-daemon
- Guix includes an SELinux policy file at @file{etc/guix-daemon.cil} that
- can be installed on a system where SELinux is enabled, in order to label
- Guix files and to specify the expected behavior of the daemon. Since
- Guix System does not provide an SELinux base policy, the daemon policy cannot
- be used on Guix System.
- @subsubsection Installing the SELinux policy
- @cindex SELinux, policy installation
- To install the policy run this command as root:
- @example
- semodule -i etc/guix-daemon.cil
- @end example
- Then relabel the file system with @code{restorecon} or by a different
- mechanism provided by your system.
- Once the policy is installed, the file system has been relabeled, and
- the daemon has been restarted, it should be running in the
- @code{guix_daemon_t} context. You can confirm this with the following
- command:
- @example
- ps -Zax | grep guix-daemon
- @end example
- Monitor the SELinux log files as you run a command like @code{guix build
- hello} to convince yourself that SELinux permits all necessary
- operations.
- @subsubsection Limitations
- @cindex SELinux, limitations
- This policy is not perfect. Here is a list of limitations or quirks
- that should be considered when deploying the provided SELinux policy for
- the Guix daemon.
- @enumerate
- @item
- @code{guix_daemon_socket_t} isn’t actually used. None of the socket
- operations involve contexts that have anything to do with
- @code{guix_daemon_socket_t}. It doesn’t hurt to have this unused label,
- but it would be preferrable to define socket rules for only this label.
- @item
- @code{guix gc} cannot access arbitrary links to profiles. By design,
- the file label of the destination of a symlink is independent of the
- file label of the link itself. Although all profiles under
- $localstatedir are labelled, the links to these profiles inherit the
- label of the directory they are in. For links in the user’s home
- directory this will be @code{user_home_t}. But for links from the root
- user’s home directory, or @file{/tmp}, or the HTTP server’s working
- directory, etc, this won’t work. @code{guix gc} would be prevented from
- reading and following these links.
- @item
- The daemon’s feature to listen for TCP connections might no longer work.
- This might require extra rules, because SELinux treats network sockets
- differently from files.
- @item
- Currently all files with a name matching the regular expression
- @code{/gnu/store/.+-(guix-.+|profile)/bin/guix-daemon} are assigned the
- label @code{guix_daemon_exec_t}; this means that @emph{any} file with
- that name in any profile would be permitted to run in the
- @code{guix_daemon_t} domain. This is not ideal. An attacker could
- build a package that provides this executable and convince a user to
- install and run it, which lifts it into the @code{guix_daemon_t} domain.
- At that point SELinux could not prevent it from accessing files that are
- allowed for processes in that domain.
- You will need to relabel the store directory after all upgrades to
- @file{guix-daemon}, such as after running @code{guix pull}. Assuming the
- store is in @file{/gnu}, you can do this with @code{restorecon -vR /gnu},
- or by other means provided by your operating system.
- We could generate a much more restrictive policy at installation time,
- so that only the @emph{exact} file name of the currently installed
- @code{guix-daemon} executable would be labelled with
- @code{guix_daemon_exec_t}, instead of using a broad regular expression.
- The downside is that root would have to install or upgrade the policy at
- installation time whenever the Guix package that provides the
- effectively running @code{guix-daemon} executable is upgraded.
- @end enumerate
- @node Invoking guix-daemon
- @section Invoking @command{guix-daemon}
- The @command{guix-daemon} program implements all the functionality to
- access the store. This includes launching build processes, running the
- garbage collector, querying the availability of a build result, etc. It
- is normally run as @code{root} like this:
- @example
- # guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
- @end example
- @noindent
- For details on how to set it up, @pxref{Setting Up the Daemon}.
- @cindex chroot
- @cindex container, build environment
- @cindex build environment
- @cindex reproducible builds
- By default, @command{guix-daemon} launches build processes under
- different UIDs, taken from the build group specified with
- @option{--build-users-group}. In addition, each build process is run in a
- chroot environment that only contains the subset of the store that the
- build process depends on, as specified by its derivation
- (@pxref{Programming Interface, derivation}), plus a set of specific
- system directories. By default, the latter contains @file{/dev} and
- @file{/dev/pts}. Furthermore, on GNU/Linux, the build environment is a
- @dfn{container}: in addition to having its own file system tree, it has
- a separate mount name space, its own PID name space, network name space,
- etc. This helps achieve reproducible builds (@pxref{Features}).
- When the daemon performs a build on behalf of the user, it creates a
- build directory under @file{/tmp} or under the directory specified by
- its @env{TMPDIR} environment variable. This directory is shared with
- the container for the duration of the build, though within the container,
- the build tree is always called @file{/tmp/guix-build-@var{name}.drv-0}.
- The build directory is automatically deleted upon completion, unless the
- build failed and the client specified @option{--keep-failed}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix build, @option{--keep-failed}}).
- The daemon listens for connections and spawns one sub-process for each session
- started by a client (one of the @command{guix} sub-commands). The
- @command{guix processes} command allows you to get an overview of the activity
- on your system by viewing each of the active sessions and clients.
- @xref{Invoking guix processes}, for more information.
- The following command-line options are supported:
- @table @code
- @item --build-users-group=@var{group}
- Take users from @var{group} to run build processes (@pxref{Setting Up
- the Daemon, build users}).
- @item --no-substitutes
- @cindex substitutes
- Do not use substitutes for build products. That is, always build things
- locally instead of allowing downloads of pre-built binaries
- (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- When the daemon runs with @option{--no-substitutes}, clients can still
- explicitly enable substitution @i{via} the @code{set-build-options}
- remote procedure call (@pxref{The Store}).
- @anchor{daemon-substitute-urls}
- @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
- Consider @var{urls} the default whitespace-separated list of substitute
- source URLs. When this option is omitted,
- @indicateurl{https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} is used.
- This means that substitutes may be downloaded from @var{urls}, as long
- as they are signed by a trusted signature (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- @xref{Getting Substitutes from Other Servers}, for more information on
- how to configure the daemon to get substitutes from other servers.
- @item --substitute-methods=@var{methods}
- Consider @var{methods} the whitespace-separated list of substitution
- methods (‘substituters’) to use. When this option is omitted, @code{http}
- is used. The @code{http} substituter supports both the HTTP and HTTPS
- protocol.
- @xref{Defining Substituters} for information on how to define new
- substituters, and @pxref{Getting Substitutes from Other Protocols}
- on how to use non-HTTP and non-HTTPS substituters.
- @c TODO: see <section> for information on how to configure the
- @c IPFS and GNUnet substituters
- @cindex offloading
- @item --no-offload
- Do not use offload builds to other machines (@pxref{Daemon Offload
- Setup}). That is, always build things locally instead of offloading
- builds to remote machines.
- @item --cache-failures
- Cache build failures. By default, only successful builds are cached.
- When this option is used, @command{guix gc --list-failures} can be used
- to query the set of store items marked as failed; @command{guix gc
- --clear-failures} removes store items from the set of cached failures.
- @xref{Invoking guix gc}.
- @item --cores=@var{n}
- @itemx -c @var{n}
- Use @var{n} CPU cores to build each derivation; @code{0} means as many
- as available.
- The default value is @code{0}, but it may be overridden by clients, such
- as the @option{--cores} option of @command{guix build} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix build}).
- The effect is to define the @env{NIX_BUILD_CORES} environment variable
- in the build process, which can then use it to exploit internal
- parallelism---for instance, by running @code{make -j$NIX_BUILD_CORES}.
- @item --max-jobs=@var{n}
- @itemx -M @var{n}
- Allow at most @var{n} build jobs in parallel. The default value is
- @code{1}. Setting it to @code{0} means that no builds will be performed
- locally; instead, the daemon will offload builds (@pxref{Daemon Offload
- Setup}), or simply fail.
- @item --max-silent-time=@var{seconds}
- When the build or substitution process remains silent for more than
- @var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
- The default value is @code{0}, which disables the timeout.
- The value specified here can be overridden by clients (@pxref{Common
- Build Options, @option{--max-silent-time}}).
- @item --timeout=@var{seconds}
- Likewise, when the build or substitution process lasts for more than
- @var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
- The default value is @code{0}, which disables the timeout.
- The value specified here can be overridden by clients (@pxref{Common
- Build Options, @option{--timeout}}).
- @item --rounds=@var{N}
- Build each derivation @var{n} times in a row, and raise an error if
- consecutive build results are not bit-for-bit identical. Note that this
- setting can be overridden by clients such as @command{guix build}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix build}).
- When used in conjunction with @option{--keep-failed}, the differing
- output is kept in the store, under @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-check}.
- This makes it easy to look for differences between the two results.
- @item --debug
- Produce debugging output.
- This is useful to debug daemon start-up issues, but then it may be
- overridden by clients, for example the @option{--verbosity} option of
- @command{guix build} (@pxref{Invoking guix build}).
- @item --chroot-directory=@var{dir}
- Add @var{dir} to the build chroot.
- Doing this may change the result of build processes---for instance if
- they use optional dependencies found in @var{dir} when it is available,
- and not otherwise. For that reason, it is not recommended to do so.
- Instead, make sure that each derivation declares all the inputs that it
- needs.
- @item --disable-chroot
- Disable chroot builds.
- Using this option is not recommended since, again, it would allow build
- processes to gain access to undeclared dependencies. It is necessary,
- though, when @command{guix-daemon} is running under an unprivileged user
- account.
- @item --log-compression=@var{type}
- Compress build logs according to @var{type}, one of @code{gzip},
- @code{bzip2}, or @code{none}.
- Unless @option{--lose-logs} is used, all the build logs are kept in the
- @var{localstatedir}. To save space, the daemon automatically compresses
- them with Bzip2 by default.
- @item --discover[=yes|no]
- Whether to discover substitute servers on the local network using mDNS
- and DNS-SD.
- This feature is still experimental. However, here are a few
- considerations.
- @enumerate
- @item
- It might be faster/less expensive than fetching from remote servers;
- @item
- There are no security risks, only genuine substitutes will be used
- (@pxref{Substitute Authentication});
- @item
- An attacker advertising @command{guix publish} on your LAN cannot serve
- you malicious binaries, but they can learn what software you’re
- installing;
- @item
- Servers may serve substitute over HTTP, unencrypted, so anyone on the
- LAN can see what software you’re installing.
- @end enumerate
- It is also possible to enable or disable substitute server discovery at
- run-time by running:
- @example
- herd discover guix-daemon on
- herd discover guix-daemon off
- @end example
- @item --disable-deduplication
- @cindex deduplication
- Disable automatic file ``deduplication'' in the store.
- By default, files added to the store are automatically ``deduplicated'':
- if a newly added file is identical to another one found in the store,
- the daemon makes the new file a hard link to the other file. This can
- noticeably reduce disk usage, at the expense of slightly increased
- input/output load at the end of a build process. This option disables
- this optimization.
- @item --gc-keep-outputs[=yes|no]
- Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep outputs of live
- derivations.
- @cindex GC roots
- @cindex garbage collector roots
- When set to @code{yes}, the GC will keep the outputs of any live
- derivation available in the store---the @file{.drv} files. The default
- is @code{no}, meaning that derivation outputs are kept only if they are
- reachable from a GC root. @xref{Invoking guix gc}, for more on GC
- roots.
- @item --gc-keep-derivations[=yes|no]
- Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep derivations
- corresponding to live outputs.
- When set to @code{yes}, as is the case by default, the GC keeps
- derivations---i.e., @file{.drv} files---as long as at least one of their
- outputs is live. This allows users to keep track of the origins of
- items in their store. Setting it to @code{no} saves a bit of disk
- space.
- In this way, setting @option{--gc-keep-derivations} to @code{yes} causes
- liveness to flow from outputs to derivations, and setting
- @option{--gc-keep-outputs} to @code{yes} causes liveness to flow from
- derivations to outputs. When both are set to @code{yes}, the effect is
- to keep all the build prerequisites (the sources, compiler, libraries,
- and other build-time tools) of live objects in the store, regardless of
- whether these prerequisites are reachable from a GC root. This is
- convenient for developers since it saves rebuilds or downloads.
- @item --impersonate-linux-2.6
- On Linux-based systems, impersonate Linux 2.6. This means that the
- kernel's @command{uname} system call will report 2.6 as the release number.
- This might be helpful to build programs that (usually wrongfully) depend
- on the kernel version number.
- @item --lose-logs
- Do not keep build logs. By default they are kept under
- @file{@var{localstatedir}/guix/log}.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- Assume @var{system} as the current system type. By default it is the
- architecture/kernel pair found at configure time, such as
- @code{x86_64-linux}.
- @item --listen=@var{endpoint}
- Listen for connections on @var{endpoint}. @var{endpoint} is interpreted
- as the file name of a Unix-domain socket if it starts with
- @code{/} (slash sign). Otherwise, @var{endpoint} is interpreted as a
- host name or host name and port to listen to. Here are a few examples:
- @table @code
- @item --listen=/gnu/var/daemon
- Listen for connections on the @file{/gnu/var/daemon} Unix-domain socket,
- creating it if needed.
- @item --listen=localhost
- @cindex daemon, remote access
- @cindex remote access to the daemon
- @cindex daemon, cluster setup
- @cindex clusters, daemon setup
- Listen for TCP connections on the network interface corresponding to
- @code{localhost}, on port 44146.
- @item --listen=128.0.0.42:1234
- Listen for TCP connections on the network interface corresponding to
- @code{128.0.0.42}, on port 1234.
- @end table
- This option can be repeated multiple times, in which case
- @command{guix-daemon} accepts connections on all the specified
- endpoints. Users can tell client commands what endpoint to connect to
- by setting the @env{GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET} environment variable
- (@pxref{The Store, @env{GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET}}).
- @quotation Note
- The daemon protocol is @emph{unauthenticated and unencrypted}. Using
- @option{--listen=@var{host}} is suitable on local networks, such as
- clusters, where only trusted nodes may connect to the build daemon. In
- other cases where remote access to the daemon is needed, we recommend
- using Unix-domain sockets along with SSH.
- @end quotation
- When @option{--listen} is omitted, @command{guix-daemon} listens for
- connections on the Unix-domain socket located at
- @file{@var{localstatedir}/guix/daemon-socket/socket}.
- @end table
- @node Application Setup
- @section Application Setup
- @cindex foreign distro
- When using Guix on top of GNU/Linux distribution other than Guix System---a
- so-called @dfn{foreign distro}---a few additional steps are needed to
- get everything in place. Here are some of them.
- @subsection Locales
- @anchor{locales-and-locpath}
- @cindex locales, when not on Guix System
- @vindex LOCPATH
- @vindex GUIX_LOCPATH
- Packages installed @i{via} Guix will not use the locale data of the
- host system. Instead, you must first install one of the locale packages
- available with Guix and then define the @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} environment
- variable:
- @example
- $ guix install glibc-locales
- $ export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
- @end example
- Note that the @code{glibc-locales} package contains data for all the
- locales supported by the GNU@tie{}libc and weighs in at around
- 917@tie{}MiB@. Alternatively, the @code{glibc-utf8-locales} is smaller but
- limited to a few UTF-8 locales.
- The @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} variable plays a role similar to @env{LOCPATH}
- (@pxref{Locale Names, @env{LOCPATH},, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
- Manual}). There are two important differences though:
- @enumerate
- @item
- @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} is honored only by the libc in Guix, and not by the libc
- provided by foreign distros. Thus, using @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} allows you
- to make sure the programs of the foreign distro will not end up loading
- incompatible locale data.
- @item
- libc suffixes each entry of @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} with @code{/X.Y}, where
- @code{X.Y} is the libc version---e.g., @code{2.22}. This means that,
- should your Guix profile contain a mixture of programs linked against
- different libc version, each libc version will only try to load locale
- data in the right format.
- @end enumerate
- This is important because the locale data format used by different libc
- versions may be incompatible.
- @subsection Name Service Switch
- @cindex name service switch, glibc
- @cindex NSS (name service switch), glibc
- @cindex nscd (name service caching daemon)
- @cindex name service caching daemon (nscd)
- When using Guix on a foreign distro, we @emph{strongly recommend} that
- the system run the GNU C library's @dfn{name service cache daemon},
- @command{nscd}, which should be listening on the
- @file{/var/run/nscd/socket} socket. Failing to do that, applications
- installed with Guix may fail to look up host names or user accounts, or
- may even crash. The next paragraphs explain why.
- @cindex @file{nsswitch.conf}
- The GNU C library implements a @dfn{name service switch} (NSS), which is
- an extensible mechanism for ``name lookups'' in general: host name
- resolution, user accounts, and more (@pxref{Name Service Switch,,, libc,
- The GNU C Library Reference Manual}).
- @cindex Network information service (NIS)
- @cindex NIS (Network information service)
- Being extensible, the NSS supports @dfn{plugins}, which provide new name
- lookup implementations: for example, the @code{nss-mdns} plugin allow
- resolution of @code{.local} host names, the @code{nis} plugin allows
- user account lookup using the Network information service (NIS), and so
- on. These extra ``lookup services'' are configured system-wide in
- @file{/etc/nsswitch.conf}, and all the programs running on the system
- honor those settings (@pxref{NSS Configuration File,,, libc, The GNU C
- Reference Manual}).
- When they perform a name lookup---for instance by calling the
- @code{getaddrinfo} function in C---applications first try to connect to
- the nscd; on success, nscd performs name lookups on their behalf. If
- the nscd is not running, then they perform the name lookup by
- themselves, by loading the name lookup services into their own address
- space and running it. These name lookup services---the
- @file{libnss_*.so} files---are @code{dlopen}'d, but they may come from
- the host system's C library, rather than from the C library the
- application is linked against (the C library coming from Guix).
- And this is where the problem is: if your application is linked against
- Guix's C library (say, glibc 2.24) and tries to load NSS plugins from
- another C library (say, @code{libnss_mdns.so} for glibc 2.22), it will
- likely crash or have its name lookups fail unexpectedly.
- Running @command{nscd} on the system, among other advantages, eliminates
- this binary incompatibility problem because those @code{libnss_*.so}
- files are loaded in the @command{nscd} process, not in applications
- themselves.
- @subsection X11 Fonts
- @cindex fonts
- The majority of graphical applications use Fontconfig to locate and
- load fonts and perform X11-client-side rendering. The @code{fontconfig}
- package in Guix looks for fonts in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile}
- by default. Thus, to allow graphical applications installed with Guix
- to display fonts, you have to install fonts with Guix as well.
- Essential font packages include @code{gs-fonts}, @code{font-dejavu}, and
- @code{font-gnu-freefont}.
- @cindex @code{fc-cache}
- @cindex font cache
- Once you have installed or removed fonts, or when you notice an
- application that does not find fonts, you may need to install Fontconfig
- and to force an update of its font cache by running:
- @example
- guix install fontconfig
- fc-cache -rv
- @end example
- To display text written in Chinese languages, Japanese, or Korean in
- graphical applications, consider installing
- @code{font-adobe-source-han-sans} or @code{font-wqy-zenhei}. The former
- has multiple outputs, one per language family (@pxref{Packages with
- Multiple Outputs}). For instance, the following command installs fonts
- for Chinese languages:
- @example
- guix install font-adobe-source-han-sans:cn
- @end example
- @cindex @code{xterm}
- Older programs such as @command{xterm} do not use Fontconfig and instead
- rely on server-side font rendering. Such programs require to specify a
- full name of a font using XLFD (X Logical Font Description), like this:
- @example
- -*-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-1
- @end example
- To be able to use such full names for the TrueType fonts installed in
- your Guix profile, you need to extend the font path of the X server:
- @c Note: 'xset' does not accept symlinks so the trick below arranges to
- @c get at the real directory. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/30655>.
- @example
- xset +fp $(dirname $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts/truetype/fonts.dir))
- @end example
- @cindex @code{xlsfonts}
- After that, you can run @code{xlsfonts} (from @code{xlsfonts} package)
- to make sure your TrueType fonts are listed there.
- @subsection X.509 Certificates
- @cindex @code{nss-certs}
- The @code{nss-certs} package provides X.509 certificates, which allow
- programs to authenticate Web servers accessed over HTTPS.
- When using Guix on a foreign distro, you can install this package and
- define the relevant environment variables so that packages know where to
- look for certificates. @xref{X.509 Certificates}, for detailed
- information.
- @subsection Emacs Packages
- @cindex @code{emacs}
- When you install Emacs packages with Guix, the Elisp files are placed
- under the @file{share/emacs/site-lisp/} directory of the profile in
- which they are installed. The Elisp libraries are made available to
- Emacs through the @env{EMACSLOADPATH} environment variable, which is
- set when installing Emacs itself.
- Additionally, autoload definitions are automatically evaluated at the
- initialization of Emacs, by the Guix-specific
- @code{guix-emacs-autoload-packages} procedure. If, for some reason, you
- want to avoid auto-loading the Emacs packages installed with Guix, you
- can do so by running Emacs with the @option{--no-site-file} option
- (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
- @node Upgrading Guix
- @section Upgrading Guix

- @node Hardware Considerations
- @section Hardware Considerations
- @cindex hardware support on Guix System
- GNU@tie{}Guix focuses on respecting the user's computing freedom. It
- builds around the kernel Linux-libre, which means that only hardware for
- which free software drivers and firmware exist is supported. Nowadays,
- a wide range of off-the-shelf hardware is supported on
- GNU/Linux-libre---from keyboards to graphics cards to scanners and
- Ethernet controllers. Unfortunately, there are still areas where
- hardware vendors deny users control over their own computing, and such
- hardware is not supported on Guix System.
- @cindex WiFi, hardware support
- One of the main areas where free drivers or firmware are lacking is WiFi
- devices. WiFi devices known to work include those using Atheros chips
- (AR9271 and AR7010), which corresponds to the @code{ath9k} Linux-libre
- driver, and those using Broadcom/AirForce chips (BCM43xx with
- Wireless-Core Revision 5), which corresponds to the @code{b43-open}
- Linux-libre driver. Free firmware exists for both and is available
- out-of-the-box on Guix System, as part of @code{%base-firmware}
- (@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{firmware}}).
- @cindex RYF, Respects Your Freedom
- The @uref{https://www.fsf.org/, Free Software Foundation} runs
- @uref{https://www.fsf.org/ryf, @dfn{Respects Your Freedom}} (RYF), a
- certification program for hardware products that respect your freedom
- and your privacy and ensure that you have control over your device. We
- encourage you to check the list of RYF-certified devices.

- @node Preparing for Installation
- @section Preparing for Installation
- Once you have booted, you can use the guided graphical installer, which makes
- it easy to get started (@pxref{Guided Graphical Installation}). Alternatively,
- if you are already familiar with GNU/Linux and if you want more control than
- what the graphical installer provides, you can choose the ``manual''
- installation process (@pxref{Manual Installation}).
- The graphical installer is available on TTY1. You can obtain root shells on
- TTYs 3 to 6 by hitting @kbd{ctrl-alt-f3}, @kbd{ctrl-alt-f4}, etc. TTY2 shows
- this documentation and you can reach it with @kbd{ctrl-alt-f2}. Documentation
- is browsable using the Info reader commands (@pxref{Top,,, info-stnd,
- Stand-alone GNU Info}). The installation system runs the GPM mouse daemon,
- which allows you to select text with the left mouse button and to paste it
- with the middle button.
- @quotation Note
- Installation requires access to the Internet so that any missing
- dependencies of your system configuration can be downloaded. See the
- ``Networking'' section below.
- @end quotation
- @node Guided Graphical Installation
- @section Guided Graphical Installation
- The graphical installer is a text-based user interface. It will guide you,
- with dialog boxes, through the steps needed to install GNU@tie{}Guix System.
- The first dialog boxes allow you to set up the system as you use it during the
- installation: you can choose the language, keyboard layout, and set up
- networking, which will be used during the installation. The image below shows
- the networking dialog.
- @image{images/installer-network,5in,, networking setup with the graphical installer}
- Later steps allow you to partition your hard disk, as shown in the image

- The installation system provides root shells on TTYs 3 to 6; press
- @kbd{ctrl-alt-f3}, @kbd{ctrl-alt-f4}, and so on to reach them. It includes
- many common tools needed to install the system. But it is also a full-blown

- need it, using @command{guix package} (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
- @menu
- * Keyboard Layout and Networking and Partitioning:: Initial setup.
- * Proceeding with the Installation:: Installing.
- @end menu
- @node Keyboard Layout and Networking and Partitioning
- @subsection Keyboard Layout, Networking, and Partitioning
- Before you can install the system, you may want to adjust the keyboard layout,
- set up networking, and partition your target hard disk. This section will
- guide you through this.
- @subsubsection Keyboard Layout
- @cindex keyboard layout
- The installation image uses the US qwerty keyboard layout. If you want
- to change it, you can use the @command{loadkeys} command. For example,
- the following command selects the Dvorak keyboard layout:
- @example
- loadkeys dvorak
- @end example
- See the files under @file{/run/current-system/profile/share/keymaps} for
- a list of available keyboard layouts. Run @command{man loadkeys} for
- more information.
- @subsubsection Networking
- Run the following command to see what your network interfaces are called:
- @example
- ifconfig -a
- @end example
- @noindent
- @dots{} or, using the GNU/Linux-specific @command{ip} command:
- @example
- ip address
- @end example
- @c https://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c#n20
- Wired interfaces have a name starting with @samp{e}; for example, the
- interface corresponding to the first on-board Ethernet controller is
- called @samp{eno1}. Wireless interfaces have a name starting with
- @samp{w}, like @samp{w1p2s0}.
- @table @asis
- @item Wired connection
- To configure a wired network run the following command, substituting
- @var{interface} with the name of the wired interface you want to use.
- @example
- ifconfig @var{interface} up
- @end example
- @noindent
- @dots{} or, using the GNU/Linux-specific @command{ip} command:
- @example
- ip link set @var{interface} up
- @end example
- @item Wireless connection
- @cindex wireless
- @cindex WiFi
- To configure wireless networking, you can create a configuration file
- for the @command{wpa_supplicant} configuration tool (its location is not
- important) using one of the available text editors such as
- @command{nano}:
- @example
- nano wpa_supplicant.conf
- @end example
- As an example, the following stanza can go to this file and will work
- for many wireless networks, provided you give the actual SSID and
- passphrase for the network you are connecting to:
- @example
- network=@{
- ssid="@var{my-ssid}"
- key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
- psk="the network's secret passphrase"
- @}
- @end example
- Start the wireless service and run it in the background with the
- following command (substitute @var{interface} with the name of the
- network interface you want to use):
- @example
- wpa_supplicant -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i @var{interface} -B
- @end example
- Run @command{man wpa_supplicant} for more information.
- @end table
- @cindex DHCP
- At this point, you need to acquire an IP address. On a network where IP
- addresses are automatically assigned @i{via} DHCP, you can run:
- @example
- dhclient -v @var{interface}
- @end example
- Try to ping a server to see if networking is up and running:
- @example
- ping -c 3 gnu.org
- @end example
- Setting up network access is almost always a requirement because the
- image does not contain all the software and tools that may be needed.
- @cindex proxy, during system installation
- If you need HTTP and HTTPS access to go through a proxy, run the
- following command:
- @example
- herd set-http-proxy guix-daemon @var{URL}
- @end example
- @noindent
- where @var{URL} is the proxy URL, for example
- @code{http://example.org:8118}.
- @cindex installing over SSH
- If you want to, you can continue the installation remotely by starting
- an SSH server:
- @example
- herd start ssh-daemon
- @end example
- Make sure to either set a password with @command{passwd}, or configure
- OpenSSH public key authentication before logging in.
- @subsubsection Disk Partitioning
- Unless this has already been done, the next step is to partition, and
- then format the target partition(s).
- The installation image includes several partitioning tools, including
- Parted (@pxref{Overview,,, parted, GNU Parted User Manual}),
- @command{fdisk}, and @command{cfdisk}. Run it and set up your disk with
- the partition layout you want:
- @example
- cfdisk
- @end example
- If your disk uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT) format and you plan to
- install BIOS-based GRUB (which is the default), make sure a BIOS Boot
- Partition is available (@pxref{BIOS installation,,, grub, GNU GRUB
- manual}).
- @cindex EFI, installation
- @cindex UEFI, installation
- @cindex ESP, EFI system partition
- If you instead wish to use EFI-based GRUB, a FAT32 @dfn{EFI System Partition}
- (ESP) is required. This partition can be mounted at @file{/boot/efi} for
- instance and must have the @code{esp} flag set. E.g., for @command{parted}:
- @example
- parted /dev/sda set 1 esp on
- @end example
- @quotation Note
- @vindex grub-bootloader
- @vindex grub-efi-bootloader
- Unsure whether to use EFI- or BIOS-based GRUB? If the directory
- @file{/sys/firmware/efi} exists in the installation image, then you should
- probably perform an EFI installation, using @code{grub-efi-bootloader}.
- Otherwise you should use the BIOS-based GRUB, known as
- @code{grub-bootloader}. @xref{Bootloader Configuration}, for more info on
- bootloaders.
- @end quotation
- Once you are done partitioning the target hard disk drive, you have to
- create a file system on the relevant partition(s)@footnote{Currently
- Guix System only supports ext4, btrfs, JFS, and F2FS file systems. In
- particular, code that reads file system UUIDs and labels only works for these
- file system types.}. For the ESP, if you have one and assuming it is
- @file{/dev/sda1}, run:
- @example
- mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
- @end example
- For the root file system, ext4 is the most widely used format. Other
- file systems, such as Btrfs, support compression, which is reported to
- nicely complement file deduplication that the daemon performs
- independently of the file system (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
- deduplication}).
- Preferably, assign file systems a label so that you can easily and
- reliably refer to them in @code{file-system} declarations (@pxref{File
- Systems}). This is typically done using the @code{-L} option of
- @command{mkfs.ext4} and related commands. So, assuming the target root
- partition lives at @file{/dev/sda2}, a file system with the label
- @code{my-root} can be created with:
- @example
- mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/sda2
- @end example
- @cindex encrypted disk
- If you are instead planning to encrypt the root partition, you can use
- the Cryptsetup/LUKS utilities to do that (see @inlinefmtifelse{html,
- @uref{https://linux.die.net/man/8/cryptsetup, @code{man cryptsetup}},
- @code{man cryptsetup}} for more information). Assuming you want to
- store the root partition on @file{/dev/sda2}, the command sequence would
- be along these lines:
- @example
- cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2
- cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda2 my-partition
- mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/mapper/my-partition
- @end example
- Once that is done, mount the target file system under @file{/mnt}
- with a command like (again, assuming @code{my-root} is the label of the
- root file system):
- @example
- mount LABEL=my-root /mnt
- @end example
- Also mount any other file systems you would like to use on the target
- system relative to this path. If you have opted for @file{/boot/efi} as an
- EFI mount point for example, mount it at @file{/mnt/boot/efi} now so it is
- found by @code{guix system init} afterwards.
- Finally, if you plan to use one or more swap partitions (@pxref{Memory
- Concepts, swap space,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}), make
- sure to initialize them with @command{mkswap}. Assuming you have one
- swap partition on @file{/dev/sda3}, you would run:
- @example
- mkswap /dev/sda3
- swapon /dev/sda3
- @end example
- Alternatively, you may use a swap file. For example, assuming that in
- the new system you want to use the file @file{/swapfile} as a swap file,
- you would run@footnote{This example will work for many types of file
- systems (e.g., ext4). However, for copy-on-write file systems (e.g.,
- btrfs), the required steps may be different. For details, see the
- manual pages for @command{mkswap} and @command{swapon}.}:
- @example
- # This is 10 GiB of swap space. Adjust "count" to change the size.
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1MiB count=10240
- # For security, make the file readable and writable only by root.
- chmod 600 /mnt/swapfile
- mkswap /mnt/swapfile
- swapon /mnt/swapfile
- @end example
- Note that if you have encrypted the root partition and created a swap
- file in its file system as described above, then the encryption also
- protects the swap file, just like any other file in that file system.
- @node Proceeding with the Installation
- @subsection Proceeding with the Installation
- With the target partitions ready and the target root mounted on
- @file{/mnt}, we're ready to go. First, run:
- @example
- herd start cow-store /mnt
- @end example
- This makes @file{/gnu/store} copy-on-write, such that packages added to it
- during the installation phase are written to the target disk on @file{/mnt}
- rather than kept in memory. This is necessary because the first phase of
- the @command{guix system init} command (see below) entails downloads or
- builds to @file{/gnu/store} which, initially, is an in-memory file system.
- Next, you have to edit a file and
- provide the declaration of the operating system to be installed. To
- that end, the installation system comes with three text editors. We
- recommend GNU nano (@pxref{Top,,, nano, GNU nano Manual}), which
- supports syntax highlighting and parentheses matching; other editors
- include GNU Zile (an Emacs clone), and
- nvi (a clone of the original BSD @command{vi} editor).
- We strongly recommend storing that file on the target root file system, say,
- as @file{/mnt/etc/config.scm}. Failing to do that, you will have lost your
- configuration file once you have rebooted into the newly-installed system.
- @xref{Using the Configuration System}, for an overview of the
- configuration file. The example configurations discussed in that
- section are available under @file{/etc/configuration} in the
- installation image. Thus, to get started with a system configuration
- providing a graphical display server (a ``desktop'' system), you can run
- something along these lines:
- @example
- # mkdir /mnt/etc
- # cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm
- # nano /mnt/etc/config.scm
- @end example
- You should pay attention to what your configuration file contains, and
- in particular:
- @itemize
- @item
- Make sure the @code{bootloader-configuration} form refers to the target
- you want to install GRUB on. It should mention @code{grub-bootloader} if
- you are installing GRUB in the legacy way, or @code{grub-efi-bootloader}
- for newer UEFI systems. For legacy systems, the @code{target} field
- names a device, like @code{/dev/sda}; for UEFI systems it names a path
- to a mounted EFI partition, like @code{/boot/efi}; do make sure the path is
- currently mounted and a @code{file-system} entry is specified in your
- configuration.
- @item
- Be sure that your file system labels match the value of their respective
- @code{device} fields in your @code{file-system} configuration, assuming
- your @code{file-system} configuration uses the @code{file-system-label}
- procedure in its @code{device} field.
- @item
- If there are encrypted or RAID partitions, make sure to add a
- @code{mapped-devices} field to describe them (@pxref{Mapped Devices}).
- @end itemize
- Once you are done preparing the configuration file, the new system must
- be initialized (remember that the target root file system is mounted
- under @file{/mnt}):
- @example
- guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
- @end example
- @noindent
- This copies all the necessary files and installs GRUB on
- @file{/dev/sdX}, unless you pass the @option{--no-bootloader} option. For
- more information, @pxref{Invoking guix system}. This command may trigger
- downloads or builds of missing packages, which can take some time.
- Once that command has completed---and hopefully succeeded!---you can run
- @command{reboot} and boot into the new system. The @code{root} password
- in the new system is initially empty; other users' passwords need to be
- initialized by running the @command{passwd} command as @code{root},
- unless your configuration specifies otherwise
- (@pxref{user-account-password, user account passwords}).
- @xref{After System Installation}, for what's next!
- @node After System Installation
- @section After System Installation
- Success, you've now booted into Guix System! From then on, you can update the
- system whenever you want by running, say:
- @example
- guix pull
- sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
- @end example
- @noindent
- This builds a new system generation with the latest packages and services
- (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). We recommend doing that regularly so that
- your system includes the latest security updates (@pxref{Security Updates}).
- @c See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-01/msg00268.html>.
- @quotation Note
- @cindex sudo vs. @command{guix pull}
- Note that @command{sudo guix} runs your user's @command{guix} command and
- @emph{not} root's, because @command{sudo} leaves @env{PATH} unchanged. To
- explicitly run root's @command{guix}, type @command{sudo -i guix @dots{}}.
- The difference matters here, because @command{guix pull} updates
- the @command{guix} command and package definitions only for the user it is ran
- as. This means that if you choose to use @command{guix system reconfigure} in
- root's login shell, you'll need to @command{guix pull} separately.

- @c *********************************************************************
- @node Getting Started
- @chapter Getting Started
- Presumably, you've reached this section because either you have
- installed Guix on top of another distribution (@pxref{Installation}), or
- you've installed the standalone Guix System (@pxref{System
- Installation}). It's time for you to get started using Guix and this
- section aims to help you do that and give you a feel of what it's like.
- Guix is about installing software, so probably the first thing you'll
- want to do is to actually look for software. Let's say you're looking
- for a text editor, you can run:
- @example
- guix search text editor
- @end example
- This command shows you a number of matching @dfn{packages}, each time
- showing the package's name, version, a description, and additional info.
- Once you've found out the one you want to use, let's say Emacs (ah ha!),
- you can go ahead and install it (run this command as a regular user,
- @emph{no need for root privileges}!):
- @example
- guix install emacs
- @end example
- You've installed your first package, congrats! In the process, you've
- probably noticed that Guix downloaded pre-built binaries; or, if you
- explicitly chose to @emph{not} use pre-built binaries, then probably
- Guix is still building software (@pxref{Substitutes}, for more info).
- Unless you're using Guix System, the @command{guix install} command must
- have printed this hint:
- @example
- hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:
- GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
- . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
- Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p "$HOME/.guix-profile"'.
- @end example
- Indeed, you must now tell your shell where @command{emacs} and other
- programs installed with Guix are to be found. Pasting the two lines
- above will do just that: it will add
- @code{$HOME/.guix-profile/bin}---which is where the installed package
- is---to the @code{PATH} environment variable. You can paste these two
- lines in your shell so they take effect right away, but more importantly
- you should add them to @file{~/.bash_profile} (or equivalent file if you
- do not use Bash) so that environment variables are set next time you
- spawn a shell. You only need to do this once and other search paths
- environment variables will be taken care of similarly---e.g., if you
- eventually install @code{python} and Python libraries, @code{PYTHONPATH}
- will be defined.
- You can go on installing packages at your will. To list installed
- packages, run:
- @example
- guix package --list-installed
- @end example
- To remove a package, you would unsurprisingly run @command{guix remove}.
- A distinguishing feature is the ability to @dfn{roll back} any operation
- you made---installation, removal, upgrade---by simply typing:
- @example
- guix package --roll-back
- @end example
- This is because each operation is in fact a @dfn{transaction} that
- creates a new @dfn{generation}. These generations and the difference
- between them can be displayed by running:
- @example
- guix package --list-generations
- @end example
- Now you know the basics of package management!
- @quotation Going further
- @xref{Package Management}, for more about package management. You may
- like @dfn{declarative} package management with @command{guix package
- --manifest}, managing separate @dfn{profiles} with @option{--profile},
- deleting old generations, collecting garbage, and other nifty features
- that will come in handy as you become more familiar with Guix. If you
- are a developer, @pxref{Development} for additional tools. And if
- you're curious, @pxref{Features}, to peek under the hood.
- @end quotation
- Once you've installed a set of packages, you will want to periodically
- @emph{upgrade} them to the latest and greatest version. To do that, you
- will first pull the latest revision of Guix and its package collection:
- @example
- guix pull
- @end example
- The end result is a new @command{guix} command, under
- @file{~/.config/guix/current/bin}. Unless you're on Guix System, the
- first time you run @command{guix pull}, be sure to follow the hint that
- the command prints and, similar to what we saw above, paste these two
- lines in your terminal and @file{.bash_profile}:
- @example
- GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.config/guix/current"
- . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
- @end example
- @noindent
- You must also instruct your shell to point to this new @command{guix}:
- @example
- hash guix
- @end example
- At this point, you're running a brand new Guix. You can thus go ahead
- and actually upgrade all the packages you previously installed:
- @example
- guix upgrade
- @end example
- As you run this command, you will see that binaries are downloaded (or
- perhaps some packages are built), and eventually you end up with the
- upgraded packages. Should one of these upgraded packages not be to your
- liking, remember you can always roll back!
- You can display the exact revision of Guix you're currently using by
- running:
- @example
- guix describe
- @end example
- The information it displays is @emph{all it takes to reproduce the exact
- same Guix}, be it at a different point in time or on a different
- machine.
- @quotation Going further
- @xref{Invoking guix pull}, for more information. @xref{Channels}, on
- how to specify additional @dfn{channels} to pull packages from, how to
- replicate Guix, and more. You may also find @command{time-machine}
- handy (@pxref{Invoking guix time-machine}).
- @end quotation
- If you installed Guix System, one of the first things you'll want to do
- is to upgrade your system. Once you've run @command{guix pull} to get
- the latest Guix, you can upgrade the system like this:
- @example
- sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
- @end example
- Upon completion, the system runs the latest versions of its software
- packages. When you eventually reboot, you'll notice a sub-menu in the
- bootloader that reads ``Old system generations'': it's what allows you
- to boot @emph{an older generation of your system}, should the latest
- generation be ``broken'' or otherwise unsatisfying. Just like for
- packages, you can always @emph{roll back} to a previous generation

- @chapter Package Management
- @cindex packages
- The purpose of GNU Guix is to allow users to easily install, upgrade, and
- remove software packages, without having to know about their build
- procedures or dependencies. Guix also goes beyond this obvious set of
- features.
- This chapter describes the main features of Guix, as well as the
- package management tools it provides. Along with the command-line
- interface described below (@pxref{Invoking guix package, @code{guix
- package}}), you may also use the Emacs-Guix interface (@pxref{Top,,,
- emacs-guix, The Emacs-Guix Reference Manual}), after installing
- @code{emacs-guix} package (run @kbd{M-x guix-help} command to start
- with it):
- @example
- guix install emacs-guix

- @end menu
- @node Features
- @section Features
- Here we assume you've already made your first steps with Guix
- (@pxref{Getting Started}) and would like to get an overview about what's
- going on under the hood.
- When using Guix, each package ends up in the @dfn{package store}, in its
- own directory---something that resembles
- @file{/gnu/store/xxx-package-1.2}, where @code{xxx} is a base32 string.
- Instead of referring to these directories, users have their own
- @dfn{profile}, which points to the packages that they actually want to
- use. These profiles are stored within each user's home directory, at
- @code{$HOME/.guix-profile}.
- For example, @code{alice} installs GCC 4.7.2. As a result,
- @file{/home/alice/.guix-profile/bin/gcc} points to
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-gcc-4.7.2/bin/gcc}. Now, on the same machine,
- @code{bob} had already installed GCC 4.8.0. The profile of @code{bob}
- simply continues to point to
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-gcc-4.8.0/bin/gcc}---i.e., both versions of GCC
- coexist on the same system without any interference.
- The @command{guix package} command is the central tool to manage
- packages (@pxref{Invoking guix package}). It operates on the per-user
- profiles, and can be used @emph{with normal user privileges}.
- @cindex transactions
- The command provides the obvious install, remove, and upgrade
- operations. Each invocation is actually a @emph{transaction}: either
- the specified operation succeeds, or nothing happens. Thus, if the
- @command{guix package} process is terminated during the transaction,
- or if a power outage occurs during the transaction, then the user's
- profile remains in its previous state, and remains usable.
- In addition, any package transaction may be @emph{rolled back}. So, if,
- for example, an upgrade installs a new version of a package that turns
- out to have a serious bug, users may roll back to the previous instance
- of their profile, which was known to work well. Similarly, the global
- system configuration on Guix is subject to
- transactional upgrades and roll-back
- (@pxref{Using the Configuration System}).
- All packages in the package store may be @emph{garbage-collected}.
- Guix can determine which packages are still referenced by user
- profiles, and remove those that are provably no longer referenced
- (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}). Users may also explicitly remove old
- generations of their profile so that the packages they refer to can be
- collected.
- @cindex reproducibility
- @cindex reproducible builds
- Guix takes a @dfn{purely functional} approach to package
- management, as described in the introduction (@pxref{Introduction}).
- Each @file{/gnu/store} package directory name contains a hash of all the
- inputs that were used to build that package---compiler, libraries, build
- scripts, etc. This direct correspondence allows users to make sure a
- given package installation matches the current state of their
- distribution. It also helps maximize @dfn{build reproducibility}:
- thanks to the isolated build environments that are used, a given build
- is likely to yield bit-identical files when performed on different
- machines (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, container}).
- @cindex substitutes
- This foundation allows Guix to support @dfn{transparent binary/source
- deployment}. When a pre-built binary for a @file{/gnu/store} item is
- available from an external source---a @dfn{substitute}, Guix just
- downloads it and unpacks it;
- otherwise, it builds the package from source, locally
- (@pxref{Substitutes}). Because build results are usually bit-for-bit
- reproducible, users do not have to trust servers that provide
- substitutes: they can force a local build and @emph{challenge} providers
- (@pxref{Invoking guix challenge}).
- Control over the build environment is a feature that is also useful for
- developers. The @command{guix environment} command allows developers of
- a package to quickly set up the right development environment for their
- package, without having to manually install the dependencies of the
- package into their profile (@pxref{Invoking guix environment}).
- @cindex replication, of software environments
- @cindex provenance tracking, of software artifacts
- All of Guix and its package definitions is version-controlled, and
- @command{guix pull} allows you to ``travel in time'' on the history of Guix
- itself (@pxref{Invoking guix pull}). This makes it possible to replicate a
- Guix instance on a different machine or at a later point in time, which in
- turn allows you to @emph{replicate complete software environments}, while
- retaining precise @dfn{provenance tracking} of the software.
- @node Invoking guix package
- @section Invoking @command{guix package}
- @cindex installing packages
- @cindex removing packages
- @cindex package installation
- @cindex package removal
- The @command{guix package} command is the tool that allows users to
- install, upgrade, and remove packages, as well as rolling back to
- previous configurations. It operates only on the user's own profile,
- and works with normal user privileges (@pxref{Features}). Its syntax
- is:
- @example
- guix package @var{options}
- @end example
- @cindex transactions
- Primarily, @var{options} specifies the operations to be performed during
- the transaction. Upon completion, a new profile is created, but
- previous @dfn{generations} of the profile remain available, should the user
- want to roll back.
- For example, to remove @code{lua} and install @code{guile} and
- @code{guile-cairo} in a single transaction:
- @example
- guix package -r lua -i guile guile-cairo
- @end example
- @cindex aliases, for @command{guix package}
- For your convenience, we also provide the following aliases:
- @itemize
- @item
- @command{guix search} is an alias for @command{guix package -s},
- @item
- @command{guix install} is an alias for @command{guix package -i},
- @item
- @command{guix remove} is an alias for @command{guix package -r},
- @item
- @command{guix upgrade} is an alias for @command{guix package -u},
- @item
- and @command{guix show} is an alias for @command{guix package --show=}.
- @end itemize
- These aliases are less expressive than @command{guix package} and provide
- fewer options, so in some cases you'll probably want to use @command{guix
- package} directly.
- @command{guix package} also supports a @dfn{declarative approach}
- whereby the user specifies the exact set of packages to be available and
- passes it @i{via} the @option{--manifest} option
- (@pxref{profile-manifest, @option{--manifest}}).
- @cindex profile
- For each user, a symlink to the user's default profile is automatically
- created in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile}. This symlink always points to the
- current generation of the user's default profile. Thus, users can add
- @file{$HOME/.guix-profile/bin} to their @env{PATH} environment
- variable, and so on.
- @cindex search paths
- If you are not using Guix System, consider adding the
- following lines to your @file{~/.bash_profile} (@pxref{Bash Startup
- Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash Reference Manual}) so that newly-spawned
- shells get all the right environment variable definitions:
- @example
- GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile" ; \
- source "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
- @end example
- In a multi-user setup, user profiles are stored in a place registered as
- a @dfn{garbage-collector root}, which @file{$HOME/.guix-profile} points
- to (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}). That directory is normally
- @code{@var{localstatedir}/guix/profiles/per-user/@var{user}}, where
- @var{localstatedir} is the value passed to @code{configure} as
- @option{--localstatedir}, and @var{user} is the user name. The
- @file{per-user} directory is created when @command{guix-daemon} is
- started, and the @var{user} sub-directory is created by @command{guix
- package}.
- The @var{options} can be among the following:
- @table @code
- @item --install=@var{package} @dots{}
- @itemx -i @var{package} @dots{}
- Install the specified @var{package}s.
- Each @var{package} may specify either a simple package name, such as
- @code{guile}, or a package name followed by an at-sign and version number,
- such as @code{guile@@1.8.8} or simply @code{guile@@1.8} (in the latter
- case, the newest version prefixed by @code{1.8} is selected).
- If no version number is specified, the
- newest available version will be selected. In addition, @var{package}
- may contain a colon, followed by the name of one of the outputs of the
- package, as in @code{gcc:doc} or @code{binutils@@2.22:lib}
- (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}). Packages with a corresponding
- name (and optionally version) are searched for among the GNU
- distribution modules (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- @cindex propagated inputs
- Sometimes packages have @dfn{propagated inputs}: these are dependencies
- that automatically get installed along with the required package
- (@pxref{package-propagated-inputs, @code{propagated-inputs} in
- @code{package} objects}, for information about propagated inputs in
- package definitions).
- @anchor{package-cmd-propagated-inputs}
- An example is the GNU MPC library: its C header files refer to those of
- the GNU MPFR library, which in turn refer to those of the GMP library.
- Thus, when installing MPC, the MPFR and GMP libraries also get installed
- in the profile; removing MPC also removes MPFR and GMP---unless they had
- also been explicitly installed by the user.
- Besides, packages sometimes rely on the definition of environment
- variables for their search paths (see explanation of
- @option{--search-paths} below). Any missing or possibly incorrect
- environment variable definitions are reported here.
- @item --install-from-expression=@var{exp}
- @itemx -e @var{exp}
- Install the package @var{exp} evaluates to.
- @var{exp} must be a Scheme expression that evaluates to a
- @code{<package>} object. This option is notably useful to disambiguate
- between same-named variants of a package, with expressions such as
- @code{(@@ (gnu packages base) guile-final)}.
- Note that this option installs the first output of the specified
- package, which may be insufficient when needing a specific output of a
- multiple-output package.
- @item --install-from-file=@var{file}
- @itemx -f @var{file}
- Install the package that the code within @var{file} evaluates to.
- As an example, @var{file} might contain a definition like this
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}):
- @lisp
- @include package-hello.scm
- @end lisp
- Developers may find it useful to include such a @file{guix.scm} file
- in the root of their project source tree that can be used to test
- development snapshots and create reproducible development environments
- (@pxref{Invoking guix environment}).
- The @var{file} may also contain a JSON representation of one or more
- package definitions. Running @code{guix package -f} on
- @file{hello.json} with the following contents would result in installing
- the package @code{greeter} after building @code{myhello}:
- @example
- @verbatiminclude package-hello.json
- @end example
- @item --remove=@var{package} @dots{}
- @itemx -r @var{package} @dots{}
- Remove the specified @var{package}s.
- As for @option{--install}, each @var{package} may specify a version number
- and/or output name in addition to the package name. For instance,
- @samp{-r glibc:debug} would remove the @code{debug} output of
- @code{glibc}.
- @item --upgrade[=@var{regexp} @dots{}]
- @itemx -u [@var{regexp} @dots{}]
- @cindex upgrading packages
- Upgrade all the installed packages. If one or more @var{regexp}s are
- specified, upgrade only installed packages whose name matches a
- @var{regexp}. Also see the @option{--do-not-upgrade} option below.
- Note that this upgrades package to the latest version of packages found
- in the distribution currently installed. To update your distribution,
- you should regularly run @command{guix pull} (@pxref{Invoking guix
- pull}).
- @cindex package transformations, upgrades
- When upgrading, package transformations that were originally applied
- when creating the profile are automatically re-applied (@pxref{Package
- Transformation Options}). For example, assume you first installed Emacs
- from the tip of its development branch with:
- @example
- guix install emacs-next --with-branch=emacs-next=master
- @end example
- Next time you run @command{guix upgrade}, Guix will again pull the tip
- of the Emacs development branch and build @code{emacs-next} from that
- checkout.
- Note that transformation options such as @option{--with-branch} and
- @option{--with-source} depend on external state; it is up to you to
- ensure that they work as expected. You can also discard a
- transformations that apply to a package by running:
- @example
- guix install @var{package}
- @end example
- @item --do-not-upgrade[=@var{regexp} @dots{}]
- When used together with the @option{--upgrade} option, do @emph{not}
- upgrade any packages whose name matches a @var{regexp}. For example, to
- upgrade all packages in the current profile except those containing the
- substring ``emacs'':
- @example
- $ guix package --upgrade . --do-not-upgrade emacs
- @end example
- @item @anchor{profile-manifest}--manifest=@var{file}
- @itemx -m @var{file}
- @cindex profile declaration
- @cindex profile manifest
- Create a new generation of the profile from the manifest object
- returned by the Scheme code in @var{file}. This option can be repeated
- several times, in which case the manifests are concatenated.
- This allows you to @emph{declare} the profile's contents rather than
- constructing it through a sequence of @option{--install} and similar
- commands. The advantage is that @var{file} can be put under version
- control, copied to different machines to reproduce the same profile, and
- so on.
- @c FIXME: Add reference to (guix profile) documentation when available.
- @var{file} must return a @dfn{manifest} object, which is roughly a list
- of packages:
- @findex packages->manifest
- @lisp
- (use-package-modules guile emacs)
- (packages->manifest
- (list emacs
- guile-2.0
- ;; Use a specific package output.
- (list guile-2.0 "debug")))
- @end lisp
- @findex specifications->manifest
- In this example we have to know which modules define the @code{emacs}
- and @code{guile-2.0} variables to provide the right
- @code{use-package-modules} line, which can be cumbersome. We can
- instead provide regular package specifications and let
- @code{specifications->manifest} look up the corresponding package
- objects, like this:
- @lisp
- (specifications->manifest
- '("emacs" "guile@@2.2" "guile@@2.2:debug"))
- @end lisp
- @xref{export-manifest, @option{--export-manifest}}, to learn how to
- obtain a manifest file from an existing profile.
- @item --roll-back
- @cindex rolling back
- @cindex undoing transactions
- @cindex transactions, undoing
- Roll back to the previous @dfn{generation} of the profile---i.e., undo
- the last transaction.
- When combined with options such as @option{--install}, roll back occurs
- before any other actions.
- When rolling back from the first generation that actually contains
- installed packages, the profile is made to point to the @dfn{zeroth
- generation}, which contains no files apart from its own metadata.
- After having rolled back, installing, removing, or upgrading packages
- overwrites previous future generations. Thus, the history of the
- generations in a profile is always linear.
- @item --switch-generation=@var{pattern}
- @itemx -S @var{pattern}
- @cindex generations
- Switch to a particular generation defined by @var{pattern}.
- @var{pattern} may be either a generation number or a number prefixed
- with ``+'' or ``-''. The latter means: move forward/backward by a
- specified number of generations. For example, if you want to return to
- the latest generation after @option{--roll-back}, use
- @option{--switch-generation=+1}.
- The difference between @option{--roll-back} and
- @option{--switch-generation=-1} is that @option{--switch-generation} will
- not make a zeroth generation, so if a specified generation does not
- exist, the current generation will not be changed.
- @item --search-paths[=@var{kind}]
- @cindex search paths
- Report environment variable definitions, in Bash syntax, that may be
- needed in order to use the set of installed packages. These environment
- variables are used to specify @dfn{search paths} for files used by some
- of the installed packages.
- For example, GCC needs the @env{CPATH} and @env{LIBRARY_PATH}
- environment variables to be defined so it can look for headers and
- libraries in the user's profile (@pxref{Environment Variables,,, gcc,
- Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)}). If GCC and, say, the C
- library are installed in the profile, then @option{--search-paths} will
- suggest setting these variables to @file{@var{profile}/include} and
- @file{@var{profile}/lib}, respectively.
- The typical use case is to define these environment variables in the
- shell:
- @example
- $ eval `guix package --search-paths`
- @end example
- @var{kind} may be one of @code{exact}, @code{prefix}, or @code{suffix},
- meaning that the returned environment variable definitions will either
- be exact settings, or prefixes or suffixes of the current value of these
- variables. When omitted, @var{kind} defaults to @code{exact}.
- This option can also be used to compute the @emph{combined} search paths
- of several profiles. Consider this example:
- @example
- $ guix package -p foo -i guile
- $ guix package -p bar -i guile-json
- $ guix package -p foo -p bar --search-paths
- @end example
- The last command above reports about the @env{GUILE_LOAD_PATH}
- variable, even though, taken individually, neither @file{foo} nor
- @file{bar} would lead to that recommendation.
- @item --profile=@var{profile}
- @itemx -p @var{profile}
- Use @var{profile} instead of the user's default profile.
- @var{profile} must be the name of a file that will be created upon
- completion. Concretely, @var{profile} will be a mere symbolic link
- (``symlink'') pointing to the actual profile where packages are
- installed:
- @example
- $ guix install hello -p ~/code/my-profile
- @dots{}
- $ ~/code/my-profile/bin/hello
- Hello, world!
- @end example
- All it takes to get rid of the profile is to remove this symlink and its
- siblings that point to specific generations:
- @example
- $ rm ~/code/my-profile ~/code/my-profile-*-link
- @end example
- @item --list-profiles
- List all the user's profiles:
- @example
- $ guix package --list-profiles
- /home/charlie/.guix-profile
- /home/charlie/code/my-profile
- /home/charlie/code/devel-profile
- /home/charlie/tmp/test
- @end example
- When running as root, list all the profiles of all the users.
- @cindex collisions, in a profile
- @cindex colliding packages in profiles
- @cindex profile collisions
- @item --allow-collisions
- Allow colliding packages in the new profile. Use at your own risk!
- By default, @command{guix package} reports as an error @dfn{collisions}
- in the profile. Collisions happen when two or more different versions
- or variants of a given package end up in the profile.
- @item --bootstrap
- Use the bootstrap Guile to build the profile. This option is only
- useful to distribution developers.
- @end table
- In addition to these actions, @command{guix package} supports the
- following options to query the current state of a profile, or the
- availability of packages:
- @table @option
- @item --search=@var{regexp}
- @itemx -s @var{regexp}
- @anchor{guix-search}
- @cindex searching for packages
- List the available packages whose name, synopsis, or description matches
- @var{regexp} (in a case-insensitive fashion), sorted by relevance.
- Print all the metadata of matching packages in
- @code{recutils} format (@pxref{Top, GNU recutils databases,, recutils,
- GNU recutils manual}).
- This allows specific fields to be extracted using the @command{recsel}
- command, for instance:
- @example
- $ guix package -s malloc | recsel -p name,version,relevance
- name: jemalloc
- version: 4.5.0
- relevance: 6
- name: glibc
- version: 2.25
- relevance: 1
- name: libgc
- version: 7.6.0
- relevance: 1
- @end example
- Similarly, to show the name of all the packages available under the
- terms of the GNU@tie{}LGPL version 3:
- @example
- $ guix package -s "" | recsel -p name -e 'license ~ "LGPL 3"'
- name: elfutils
- name: gmp
- @dots{}
- @end example
- It is also possible to refine search results using several @code{-s} flags to
- @command{guix package}, or several arguments to @command{guix search}. For
- example, the following command returns a list of board games (this time using
- the @command{guix search} alias):
- @example
- $ guix search '\<board\>' game | recsel -p name
- name: gnubg
- @dots{}
- @end example
- If we were to omit @code{-s game}, we would also get software packages
- that deal with printed circuit boards; removing the angle brackets
- around @code{board} would further add packages that have to do with
- keyboards.
- And now for a more elaborate example. The following command searches
- for cryptographic libraries, filters out Haskell, Perl, Python, and Ruby
- libraries, and prints the name and synopsis of the matching packages:
- @example
- $ guix search crypto library | \
- recsel -e '! (name ~ "^(ghc|perl|python|ruby)")' -p name,synopsis
- @end example
- @noindent
- @xref{Selection Expressions,,, recutils, GNU recutils manual}, for more
- information on @dfn{selection expressions} for @code{recsel -e}.
- @item --show=@var{package}
- Show details about @var{package}, taken from the list of available packages, in
- @code{recutils} format (@pxref{Top, GNU recutils databases,, recutils, GNU
- recutils manual}).
- @example
- $ guix package --show=python | recsel -p name,version
- name: python
- version: 2.7.6
- name: python
- version: 3.3.5
- @end example
- You may also specify the full name of a package to only get details about a
- specific version of it (this time using the @command{guix show} alias):
- @example
- $ guix show python@@3.4 | recsel -p name,version
- name: python
- version: 3.4.3
- @end example
- @item --list-installed[=@var{regexp}]
- @itemx -I [@var{regexp}]
- List the currently installed packages in the specified profile, with the
- most recently installed packages shown last. When @var{regexp} is
- specified, list only installed packages whose name matches @var{regexp}.
- For each installed package, print the following items, separated by
- tabs: the package name, its version string, the part of the package that
- is installed (for instance, @code{out} for the default output,
- @code{include} for its headers, etc.), and the path of this package in
- the store.
- @item --list-available[=@var{regexp}]
- @itemx -A [@var{regexp}]
- List packages currently available in the distribution for this system
- (@pxref{GNU Distribution}). When @var{regexp} is specified, list only
- available packages whose name matches @var{regexp}.
- For each package, print the following items separated by tabs: its name,
- its version string, the parts of the package (@pxref{Packages with
- Multiple Outputs}), and the source location of its definition.
- @item --list-generations[=@var{pattern}]
- @itemx -l [@var{pattern}]
- @cindex generations
- Return a list of generations along with their creation dates; for each
- generation, show the installed packages, with the most recently
- installed packages shown last. Note that the zeroth generation is never
- shown.
- For each installed package, print the following items, separated by
- tabs: the name of a package, its version string, the part of the package
- that is installed (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}), and the
- location of this package in the store.
- When @var{pattern} is used, the command returns only matching
- generations. Valid patterns include:
- @itemize
- @item @emph{Integers and comma-separated integers}. Both patterns denote
- generation numbers. For instance, @option{--list-generations=1} returns
- the first one.
- And @option{--list-generations=1,8,2} outputs three generations in the
- specified order. Neither spaces nor trailing commas are allowed.
- @item @emph{Ranges}. @option{--list-generations=2..9} prints the
- specified generations and everything in between. Note that the start of
- a range must be smaller than its end.
- It is also possible to omit the endpoint. For example,
- @option{--list-generations=2..}, returns all generations starting from the
- second one.
- @item @emph{Durations}. You can also get the last @emph{N}@tie{}days, weeks,
- or months by passing an integer along with the first letter of the
- duration. For example, @option{--list-generations=20d} lists generations
- that are up to 20 days old.
- @end itemize
- @item --delete-generations[=@var{pattern}]
- @itemx -d [@var{pattern}]
- When @var{pattern} is omitted, delete all generations except the current
- one.
- This command accepts the same patterns as @option{--list-generations}.
- When @var{pattern} is specified, delete the matching generations. When
- @var{pattern} specifies a duration, generations @emph{older} than the
- specified duration match. For instance, @option{--delete-generations=1m}
- deletes generations that are more than one month old.
- If the current generation matches, it is @emph{not} deleted. Also, the
- zeroth generation is never deleted.
- Note that deleting generations prevents rolling back to them.
- Consequently, this command must be used with care.
- @cindex manifest, exporting
- @anchor{export-manifest}
- @item --export-manifest
- Write to standard output a manifest suitable for @option{--manifest}
- corresponding to the chosen profile(s).
- This option is meant to help you migrate from the ``imperative''
- operating mode---running @command{guix install}, @command{guix upgrade},
- etc.---to the declarative mode that @option{--manifest} offers.
- Be aware that the resulting manifest @emph{approximates} what your
- profile actually contains; for instance, depending on how your profile
- was created, it can refer to packages or package versions that are not
- exactly what you specified.
- Keep in mind that a manifest is purely symbolic: it only contains
- package names and possibly versions, and their meaning varies over time.
- If you wish to ``pin'' channels to the revisions that were used to build
- the profile(s), see @option{--export-channels} below.
- @cindex pinning, channel revisions of a profile
- @item --export-channels
- Write to standard output the list of channels used by the chosen
- profile(s), in a format suitable for @command{guix pull --channels} or
- @command{guix time-machine --channels} (@pxref{Channels}).
- Together with @option{--export-manifest}, this option provides
- information allowing you to replicate the current profile
- (@pxref{Replicating Guix}).
- However, note that the output of this command @emph{approximates} what
- was actually used to build this profile. In particular, a single
- profile might have been built from several different revisions of the
- same channel. In that case, @option{--export-manifest} chooses the last
- one and writes the list of other revisions in a comment. If you really
- need to pick packages from different channel revisions, you can use
- inferiors in your manifest to do so (@pxref{Inferiors}).
- Together with @option{--export-manifest}, this is a good starting point
- if you are willing to migrate from the ``imperative'' model to the fully
- declarative model consisting of a manifest file along with a channels
- file pinning the exact channel revision(s) you want.
- @end table
- Finally, since @command{guix package} may actually start build
- processes, it supports all the common build options (@pxref{Common Build
- Options}). It also supports package transformation options, such as
- @option{--with-source}, and preserves them across upgrades
- (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}).
- @node Substitutes
- @section Substitutes
- @cindex substitutes
- @cindex pre-built binaries
- Guix supports transparent source/binary deployment, which means that it
- can either build things locally, or download pre-built items from a
- server, or both. We call these pre-built items @dfn{substitutes}---they
- are substitutes for local build results. In many cases, downloading a
- substitute is much faster than building things locally.
- Substitutes can be anything resulting from a derivation build
- (@pxref{Derivations}). Of course, in the common case, they are
- pre-built package binaries, but source tarballs, for instance, which
- also result from derivation builds, can be available as substitutes.

- @node Official Substitute Server
- @subsection Official Substitute Server
- @cindex build farm
- The @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} server is a front-end to an official build farm
- that builds packages from Guix continuously for some
- architectures, and makes them available as substitutes. This is the
- default source of substitutes; it can be overridden by passing the
- @option{--substitute-urls} option either to @command{guix-daemon}
- (@pxref{daemon-substitute-urls,, @code{guix-daemon --substitute-urls}})
- or to client tools such as @command{guix package}
- (@pxref{client-substitute-urls,, client @option{--substitute-urls}
- option}).
- Substitute URLs can be either HTTP or HTTPS.
- HTTPS is recommended because communications are encrypted; conversely,
- using HTTP makes all communications visible to an eavesdropper, who
- could use the information gathered to determine, for instance, whether
- your system has unpatched security vulnerabilities.
- Substitutes from the official build farm are enabled by default when
- using Guix System (@pxref{GNU Distribution}). However,
- they are disabled by default when using Guix on a foreign distribution,
- unless you have explicitly enabled them via one of the recommended
- installation steps (@pxref{Installation}). The following paragraphs
- describe how to enable or disable substitutes for the official build
- farm; the same procedure can also be used to enable substitutes for any
- other substitute server.
- @node Substitute Server Authorization
- @subsection Substitute Server Authorization
- @cindex security
- @cindex substitutes, authorization thereof
- @cindex access control list (ACL), for substitutes
- @cindex ACL (access control list), for substitutes
- To allow Guix to download substitutes from @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} or a
- mirror thereof, you
- must add its public key to the access control list (ACL) of archive
- imports, using the @command{guix archive} command (@pxref{Invoking guix
- archive}). Doing so implies that you trust @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} to not
- be compromised and to serve genuine substitutes.
- @quotation Note
- If you are using Guix System, you can skip this section: Guix System
- authorizes substitutes from @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} by default.
- @end quotation
- The public key for @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} is installed along with Guix, in
- @code{@var{prefix}/share/guix/@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}.pub}, where @var{prefix} is
- the installation prefix of Guix. If you installed Guix from source,
- make sure you checked the GPG signature of
- @file{guix-@value{VERSION}.tar.gz}, which contains this public key file.
- Then, you can run something like this:
- @example
- # guix archive --authorize < @var{prefix}/share/guix/@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}.pub
- @end example
- Once this is in place, the output of a command like @code{guix build}
- should change from something like:
- @example
- $ guix build emacs --dry-run
- The following derivations would be built:
- /gnu/store/yr7bnx8xwcayd6j95r2clmkdl1qh688w-emacs-24.3.drv
- /gnu/store/x8qsh1hlhgjx6cwsjyvybnfv2i37z23w-dbus-1.6.4.tar.gz.drv
- /gnu/store/1ixwp12fl950d15h2cj11c73733jay0z-alsa-lib-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2.drv
- /gnu/store/nlma1pw0p603fpfiqy7kn4zm105r5dmw-util-linux-2.21.drv
- @dots{}
- @end example
- @noindent
- to something like:
- @example
- $ guix build emacs --dry-run
- 112.3 MB would be downloaded:
- /gnu/store/pk3n22lbq6ydamyymqkkz7i69wiwjiwi-emacs-24.3
- /gnu/store/2ygn4ncnhrpr61rssa6z0d9x22si0va3-libjpeg-8d
- /gnu/store/71yz6lgx4dazma9dwn2mcjxaah9w77jq-cairo-1.12.16
- /gnu/store/7zdhgp0n1518lvfn8mb96sxqfmvqrl7v-libxrender-0.9.7
- @dots{}
- @end example
- @noindent
- The text changed from ``The following derivations would be built'' to
- ``112.3 MB would be downloaded''. This indicates that substitutes from
- @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} are usable and will be downloaded, when
- possible, for future builds.
- @cindex substitutes, how to disable
- The substitute mechanism can be disabled globally by running
- @code{guix-daemon} with @option{--no-substitutes} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix-daemon}). It can also be disabled temporarily by passing the
- @option{--no-substitutes} option to @command{guix package},
- @command{guix build}, and other command-line tools.
- @node Getting Substitutes from Other Servers
- @subsection Getting Substitutes from Other Servers
- @cindex substitute servers, adding more
- Guix can look up and fetch substitutes from several servers. This is
- useful when you are using packages from additional channels for which
- the official server does not have substitutes but another server
- provides them. Another situation where this is useful is when you would
- prefer to download from your organization's substitute server, resorting
- to the official server only as a fallback or dismissing it altogether.
- You can give Guix a list of substitute server URLs and it will check
- them in the specified order. You also need to explicitly authorize the
- public keys of substitute servers to instruct Guix to accept the
- substitutes they sign.
- On Guix System, this is achieved by modifying the configuration of the
- @code{guix} service. Since the @code{guix} service is part of the
- default lists of services, @code{%base-services} and
- @code{%desktop-services}, you can use @code{modify-services} to change
- its configuration and add the URLs and substitute keys that you want
- (@pxref{Service Reference, @code{modify-services}}).
- As an example, suppose you want to fetch substitutes from
- @code{guix.example.org} and to authorize the signing key of that server,
- in addition to the default @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}}. The
- resulting operating system configuration will look something like:
- @lisp
- (operating-system
- ;; @dots{}
- (services
- ;; Assume we're starting from '%desktop-services'. Replace it
- ;; with the list of services you're actually using.
- (modify-services %desktop-services
- (guix-service-type config =>
- (guix-configuration
- (inherit config)
- (substitute-urls
- (append (list "https://guix.example.org")
- %default-substitute-urls))
- (authorized-keys
- (append (list (local-file "./key.pub"))
- %default-authorized-guix-keys)))))))
- @end lisp
- This assumes that the file @file{key.pub} contains the signing key of
- @code{guix.example.org}. With this change in place in your operating
- system configuration file (say @file{/etc/config.scm}), you can
- reconfigure and restart the @code{guix-daemon} service or reboot so the
- changes take effect:
- @example
- $ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
- $ sudo herd restart guix-daemon
- @end example
- If you're running Guix on a ``foreign distro'', you would instead take
- the following steps to get substitutes from additional servers:
- @enumerate
- @item
- Edit the service configuration file for @code{guix-daemon}; when using
- systemd, this is normally
- @file{/etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service}. Add the
- @option{--substitute-urls} option on the @command{guix-daemon} command
- line and list the URLs of interest (@pxref{daemon-substitute-urls,
- @code{guix-daemon --substitute-urls}}):
- @example
- @dots{} --substitute-urls='https://guix.example.org https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}'
- @end example
- @item
- Restart the daemon. For systemd, it goes like this:
- @example
- systemctl daemon-reload
- systemctl restart guix-daemon.service
- @end example
- @item
- Authorize the key of the new server (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}):
- @example
- guix archive --authorize < key.pub
- @end example
- Again this assumes @file{key.pub} contains the public key that
- @code{guix.example.org} uses to sign substitutes.
- @end enumerate
- Now you're all set! Substitutes will be preferably taken from
- @code{https://guix.example.org}, using @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}}
- as a fallback. Of course you can list as many substitute servers as you
- like, with the caveat that substitute lookup can be slowed down if too
- many servers need to be contacted.
- Note that there are also situations where one may want to add the URL of
- a substitute server @emph{without} authorizing its key.
- @xref{Substitute Authentication}, to understand this fine point.
- @node Getting Substitutes from Other Protocols
- @subsection Getting Substitutes from Other Protocols
- @cindex substitute servers, alternative protocols
- This subsection probably won't make much sense yet,
- as currently only the HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported
- for substitution. Consider what follows as a peek into the future!
- Guix will support multiple substitution methods -- currently only
- a substituter for HTTP and HTTPS is defined, but a substituter for
- the P2P networks IPFS and GNUnet will be defined in the future.
- @c The IPFS substituter has actually already been implemented,
- @c see http://issues.guix.gnu.org/33899, but it requires some changes
- @c and is not yet available to the end-user.
- In order to use a substition method, it must first be enabled in the
- guix daemon
- (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon, @option{--substitute-methods}}).
- For example, to enable the HTTP/S and the yet-to-be-written IPFS
- substituter, pass @code{--substitute-methods='http ipfs'}.
- This must be set in the daemon, and cannot be done from a user process.
- @c XXX ^ is this sentence clear? I mean ``guix build --substitute-methods``
- @c won't work, as substitution happens in the daemon (well, in a process
- @c started by the daemon to be precise).
- Also include an URL supported by the substituter in the list of
- substitute server URLs. That's all there is to it!
- @c TODO ^ when using the IPFS substituter, the daemon also needs -
- @c to know the IPFS gateway, and when using the GNUnet substituter,
- @c GNUnet needs to be running. But let's first actually implement
- @c & merge these substituters ...
- @node Substitute Authentication
- @subsection Substitute Authentication
- @cindex digital signatures
- Guix detects and raises an error when attempting to use a substitute
- that has been tampered with. Likewise, it ignores substitutes that are
- not signed, or that are not signed by one of the keys listed in the ACL.
- There is one exception though: if an unauthorized server provides
- substitutes that are @emph{bit-for-bit identical} to those provided by
- an authorized server, then the unauthorized server becomes eligible for
- downloads. For example, assume we have chosen two substitute servers
- with this option:
- @example
- --substitute-urls="https://a.example.org https://b.example.org"
- @end example
- @noindent
- @cindex reproducible builds
- If the ACL contains only the key for @samp{b.example.org}, and if
- @samp{a.example.org} happens to serve the @emph{exact same} substitutes,
- then Guix will download substitutes from @samp{a.example.org} because it
- comes first in the list and can be considered a mirror of
- @samp{b.example.org}. In practice, independent build machines usually
- produce the same binaries, thanks to bit-reproducible builds (see
- below).
- When using HTTPS, the server's X.509 certificate is @emph{not} validated
- (in other words, the server is not authenticated), contrary to what
- HTTPS clients such as Web browsers usually do. This is because Guix
- authenticates substitute information itself, as explained above, which
- is what we care about (whereas X.509 certificates are about
- authenticating bindings between domain names and public keys).
- @node Proxy Settings
- @subsection Proxy Settings
- @vindex http_proxy
- @vindex https_proxy
- Substitutes are downloaded over HTTP or HTTPS@. The @env{http_proxy} and
- @env{https_proxy} environment variables can be set in the environment of
- @command{guix-daemon} and are honored for downloads of substitutes.
- Note that the value of those environment variables in the environment
- where @command{guix build}, @command{guix package}, and other client
- commands are run has @emph{absolutely no effect}.
- @node Substitution Failure
- @subsection Substitution Failure
- Even when a substitute for a derivation is available, sometimes the
- substitution attempt will fail. This can happen for a variety of
- reasons: the substitute server might be offline, the substitute may
- recently have been deleted, the connection might have been interrupted,
- etc.
- When substitutes are enabled and a substitute for a derivation is
- available, but the substitution attempt fails, Guix will attempt to
- build the derivation locally depending on whether or not
- @option{--fallback} was given (@pxref{fallback-option,, common build
- option @option{--fallback}}). Specifically, if @option{--fallback} was
- omitted, then no local build will be performed, and the derivation is
- considered to have failed. However, if @option{--fallback} was given,
- then Guix will attempt to build the derivation locally, and the success
- or failure of the derivation depends on the success or failure of the
- local build. Note that when substitutes are disabled or no substitute
- is available for the derivation in question, a local build will
- @emph{always} be performed, regardless of whether or not
- @option{--fallback} was given.
- To get an idea of how many substitutes are available right now, you can
- try running the @command{guix weather} command (@pxref{Invoking guix
- weather}). This command provides statistics on the substitutes provided
- by a server.
- @node On Trusting Binaries
- @subsection On Trusting Binaries
- @cindex trust, of pre-built binaries
- Today, each individual's control over their own computing is at the
- mercy of institutions, corporations, and groups with enough power and
- determination to subvert the computing infrastructure and exploit its
- weaknesses. While using @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} substitutes can be
- convenient, we encourage users to also build on their own, or even run
- their own build farm, such that @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} is less of an
- interesting target. One way to help is by publishing the software you
- build using @command{guix publish} so that others have one more choice
- of server to download substitutes from (@pxref{Invoking guix publish}).
- Guix has the foundations to maximize build reproducibility
- (@pxref{Features}). In most cases, independent builds of a given
- package or derivation should yield bit-identical results. Thus, through
- a diverse set of independent package builds, we can strengthen the
- integrity of our systems. The @command{guix challenge} command aims to
- help users assess substitute servers, and to assist developers in
- finding out about non-deterministic package builds (@pxref{Invoking guix
- challenge}). Similarly, the @option{--check} option of @command{guix
- build} allows users to check whether previously-installed substitutes
- are genuine by rebuilding them locally (@pxref{build-check,
- @command{guix build --check}}).
- In the future, we want Guix to have support to publish and retrieve
- binaries to/from other users, in a peer-to-peer fashion. If you would
- like to discuss this project, join us on @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org}.
- @node Packages with Multiple Outputs
- @section Packages with Multiple Outputs
- @cindex multiple-output packages
- @cindex package outputs
- @cindex outputs
- Often, packages defined in Guix have a single @dfn{output}---i.e., the
- source package leads to exactly one directory in the store. When running
- @command{guix install glibc}, one installs the default output of the
- GNU libc package; the default output is called @code{out}, but its name
- can be omitted as shown in this command. In this particular case, the
- default output of @code{glibc} contains all the C header files, shared
- libraries, static libraries, Info documentation, and other supporting
- files.
- Sometimes it is more appropriate to separate the various types of files
- produced from a single source package into separate outputs. For
- instance, the GLib C library (used by GTK+ and related packages)
- installs more than 20 MiB of reference documentation as HTML pages.
- To save space for users who do not need it, the documentation goes to a
- separate output, called @code{doc}. To install the main GLib output,
- which contains everything but the documentation, one would run:
- @example
- guix install glib
- @end example
- @cindex documentation
- The command to install its documentation is:
- @example
- guix install glib:doc
- @end example
- Some packages install programs with different ``dependency footprints''.
- For instance, the WordNet package installs both command-line tools and
- graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The former depend solely on the C
- library, whereas the latter depend on Tcl/Tk and the underlying X
- libraries. In this case, we leave the command-line tools in the default
- output, whereas the GUIs are in a separate output. This allows users
- who do not need the GUIs to save space. The @command{guix size} command
- can help find out about such situations (@pxref{Invoking guix size}).
- @command{guix graph} can also be helpful (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}).
- There are several such multiple-output packages in the GNU distribution.
- Other conventional output names include @code{lib} for libraries and
- possibly header files, @code{bin} for stand-alone programs, and
- @code{debug} for debugging information (@pxref{Installing Debugging
- Files}). The outputs of a packages are listed in the third column of
- the output of @command{guix package --list-available} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix package}).
- @node Invoking guix gc
- @section Invoking @command{guix gc}
- @cindex garbage collector
- @cindex disk space
- Packages that are installed, but not used, may be @dfn{garbage-collected}.
- The @command{guix gc} command allows users to explicitly run the garbage
- collector to reclaim space from the @file{/gnu/store} directory. It is
- the @emph{only} way to remove files from @file{/gnu/store}---removing
- files or directories manually may break it beyond repair!
- @cindex GC roots
- @cindex garbage collector roots
- The garbage collector has a set of known @dfn{roots}: any file under
- @file{/gnu/store} reachable from a root is considered @dfn{live} and
- cannot be deleted; any other file is considered @dfn{dead} and may be
- deleted. The set of garbage collector roots (``GC roots'' for short)
- includes default user profiles; by default, the symlinks under
- @file{/var/guix/gcroots} represent these GC roots. New GC roots can be
- added with @command{guix build --root}, for example (@pxref{Invoking
- guix build}). The @command{guix gc --list-roots} command lists them.
- Prior to running @code{guix gc --collect-garbage} to make space, it is
- often useful to remove old generations from user profiles; that way, old
- package builds referenced by those generations can be reclaimed. This
- is achieved by running @code{guix package --delete-generations}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
- Our recommendation is to run a garbage collection periodically, or when
- you are short on disk space. For instance, to guarantee that at least
- 5@tie{}GB are available on your disk, simply run:
- @example
- guix gc -F 5G
- @end example
- It is perfectly safe to run as a non-interactive periodic job
- (@pxref{Scheduled Job Execution}, for how to set up such a job).
- Running @command{guix gc} with no arguments will collect as
- much garbage as it can, but that is often inconvenient: you may find
- yourself having to rebuild or re-download software that is ``dead'' from
- the GC viewpoint but that is necessary to build other pieces of
- software---e.g., the compiler tool chain.
- The @command{guix gc} command has three modes of operation: it can be
- used to garbage-collect any dead files (the default), to delete specific
- files (the @option{--delete} option), to print garbage-collector
- information, or for more advanced queries. The garbage collection
- options are as follows:
- @table @code
- @item --collect-garbage[=@var{min}]
- @itemx -C [@var{min}]
- Collect garbage---i.e., unreachable @file{/gnu/store} files and
- sub-directories. This is the default operation when no option is
- specified.
- When @var{min} is given, stop once @var{min} bytes have been collected.
- @var{min} may be a number of bytes, or it may include a unit as a
- suffix, such as @code{MiB} for mebibytes and @code{GB} for gigabytes
- (@pxref{Block size, size specifications,, coreutils, GNU Coreutils}).
- When @var{min} is omitted, collect all the garbage.
- @item --free-space=@var{free}
- @itemx -F @var{free}
- Collect garbage until @var{free} space is available under
- @file{/gnu/store}, if possible; @var{free} denotes storage space, such
- as @code{500MiB}, as described above.
- When @var{free} or more is already available in @file{/gnu/store}, do
- nothing and exit immediately.
- @item --delete-generations[=@var{duration}]
- @itemx -d [@var{duration}]
- Before starting the garbage collection process, delete all the generations
- older than @var{duration}, for all the user profiles; when run as root, this
- applies to all the profiles @emph{of all the users}.
- For example, this command deletes all the generations of all your profiles
- that are older than 2 months (except generations that are current), and then
- proceeds to free space until at least 10 GiB are available:
- @example
- guix gc -d 2m -F 10G
- @end example
- @item --delete
- @itemx -D
- Attempt to delete all the store files and directories specified as
- arguments. This fails if some of the files are not in the store, or if
- they are still live.
- @item --list-failures
- List store items corresponding to cached build failures.
- This prints nothing unless the daemon was started with
- @option{--cache-failures} (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
- @option{--cache-failures}}).
- @item --list-roots
- List the GC roots owned by the user; when run as root, list @emph{all} the GC
- roots.
- @item --list-busy
- List store items in use by currently running processes. These store
- items are effectively considered GC roots: they cannot be deleted.
- @item --clear-failures
- Remove the specified store items from the failed-build cache.
- Again, this option only makes sense when the daemon is started with
- @option{--cache-failures}. Otherwise, it does nothing.
- @item --list-dead
- Show the list of dead files and directories still present in the
- store---i.e., files and directories no longer reachable from any root.
- @item --list-live
- Show the list of live store files and directories.
- @end table
- In addition, the references among existing store files can be queried:
- @table @code
- @item --references
- @itemx --referrers
- @cindex package dependencies
- List the references (respectively, the referrers) of store files given
- as arguments.
- @item --requisites
- @itemx -R
- @cindex closure
- List the requisites of the store files passed as arguments. Requisites
- include the store files themselves, their references, and the references
- of these, recursively. In other words, the returned list is the
- @dfn{transitive closure} of the store files.
- @xref{Invoking guix size}, for a tool to profile the size of the closure
- of an element. @xref{Invoking guix graph}, for a tool to visualize
- the graph of references.
- @item --derivers
- @cindex derivation
- Return the derivation(s) leading to the given store items
- (@pxref{Derivations}).
- For example, this command:
- @example
- guix gc --derivers `guix package -I ^emacs$ | cut -f4`
- @end example
- @noindent
- returns the @file{.drv} file(s) leading to the @code{emacs} package
- installed in your profile.
- Note that there may be zero matching @file{.drv} files, for instance
- because these files have been garbage-collected. There can also be more
- than one matching @file{.drv} due to fixed-output derivations.
- @end table
- Lastly, the following options allow you to check the integrity of the
- store and to control disk usage.
- @table @option
- @item --verify[=@var{options}]
- @cindex integrity, of the store
- @cindex integrity checking
- Verify the integrity of the store.
- By default, make sure that all the store items marked as valid in the
- database of the daemon actually exist in @file{/gnu/store}.
- When provided, @var{options} must be a comma-separated list containing one
- or more of @code{contents} and @code{repair}.
- When passing @option{--verify=contents}, the daemon computes the
- content hash of each store item and compares it against its hash in the
- database. Hash mismatches are reported as data corruptions. Because it
- traverses @emph{all the files in the store}, this command can take a
- long time, especially on systems with a slow disk drive.
- @cindex repairing the store
- @cindex corruption, recovering from
- Using @option{--verify=repair} or @option{--verify=contents,repair}
- causes the daemon to try to repair corrupt store items by fetching

- Packages are installed or upgraded to the latest version available in

- that distribution, along with the Guix tools, you must run @command{guix
- pull}: the command downloads the latest Guix source code and package
- descriptions, and deploys it. Source code is downloaded from a
- @uref{https://git-scm.com, Git} repository, by default the official
- GNU@tie{}Guix repository, though this can be customized. @command{guix
- pull} ensures that the code it downloads is @emph{authentic} by
- verifying that commits are signed by Guix developers.
- Specifically, @command{guix pull} downloads code from the @dfn{channels}
- (@pxref{Channels}) specified by one of the followings, in this order:
- @enumerate
- @item
- the @option{--channels} option;
- @item

- the system-wide @file{/etc/guix/channels.scm} file;
- @item
- the built-in default channels specified in the @code{%default-channels}
- variable.
- @end enumerate
- On completion, @command{guix package} will use packages and package
- versions from this just-retrieved copy of Guix. Not only that, but all
- the Guix commands and Scheme modules will also be taken from that latest
- version. New @command{guix} sub-commands added by the update also
- become available.
- Any user can update their Guix copy using @command{guix pull}, and the
- effect is limited to the user who ran @command{guix pull}. For
- instance, when user @code{root} runs @command{guix pull}, this has no
- effect on the version of Guix that user @code{alice} sees, and vice
- versa.
- The result of running @command{guix pull} is a @dfn{profile} available
- under @file{~/.config/guix/current} containing the latest Guix. Thus,
- make sure to add it to the beginning of your search path so that you use
- the latest version, and similarly for the Info manual

- @itemx -C @var{file}
- Read the list of channels from @var{file} instead of

- This command accepts the same patterns as @option{--list-generations}.
- When @var{pattern} is specified, delete the matching generations. When
- @var{pattern} specifies a duration, generations @emph{older} than the
- specified duration match. For instance, @option{--delete-generations=1m}
- deletes generations that are more than one month old.
- If the current generation matches, it is @emph{not} deleted.

- @cindex reproducibility, of Guix
- The @command{guix time-machine} command provides access to other
- revisions of Guix, for example to install older versions of packages,
- or to reproduce a computation in an identical environment. The revision
- of Guix to be used is defined by a commit or by a channel
- description file created by @command{guix describe}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix describe}).
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix time-machine @var{options}@dots{} -- @var{command} @var {arg}@dots{}
- @end example
- where @var{command} and @var{arg}@dots{} are passed unmodified to the
- @command{guix} command of the specified revision. The @var{options} that define
- this revision are the same as for @command{guix pull} (@pxref{Invoking guix pull}):
- @table @code
- @item --url=@var{url}
- @itemx --commit=@var{commit}
- @itemx --branch=@var{branch}
- Use the @code{guix} channel from the specified @var{url}, at the
- given @var{commit} (a valid Git commit ID represented as a hexadecimal
- string), or @var{branch}.
- @item --channels=@var{file}
- @itemx -C @var{file}
- Read the list of channels from @var{file}. @var{file} must contain
- Scheme code that evaluates to a list of channel objects.
- @xref{Channels} for more information.
- @end table
- As for @command{guix pull}, the absence of any options means that the
- latest commit on the master branch will be used. The command
- @example
- guix time-machine -- build hello
- @end example
- will thus build the package @code{hello} as defined in the master branch,
- which is in general a newer revision of Guix than you have installed.
- Time travel works in both directions!
- Note that @command{guix time-machine} can trigger builds of channels and
- their dependencies, and these are controlled by the standard build
- options (@pxref{Common Build Options}).

- @cindex inferiors
- @cindex composition of Guix revisions
- Sometimes you might need to mix packages from the revision of Guix you're
- currently running with packages available in a different revision of Guix.
- Guix @dfn{inferiors} allow you to achieve that by composing different Guix
- revisions in arbitrary ways.
- @cindex inferior packages
- Technically, an ``inferior'' is essentially a separate Guix process connected
- to your main Guix process through a REPL (@pxref{Invoking guix repl}). The
- @code{(guix inferior)} module allows you to create inferiors and to
- communicate with them. It also provides a high-level interface to browse and
- manipulate the packages that an inferior provides---@dfn{inferior packages}.
- When combined with channels (@pxref{Channels}), inferiors provide a simple way
- to interact with a separate revision of Guix. For example, let's assume you
- want to install in your profile the current @code{guile} package, along with
- the @code{guile-json} as it existed in an older revision of Guix---perhaps
- because the newer @code{guile-json} has an incompatible API and you want to
- run your code against the old API@. To do that, you could write a manifest for
- use by @code{guix package --manifest} (@pxref{Invoking guix package}); in that
- manifest, you would create an inferior for that old Guix revision you care
- about, and you would look up the @code{guile-json} package in the inferior:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix inferior) (guix channels)
- (srfi srfi-1)) ;for 'first'
- (define channels
- ;; This is the old revision from which we want to
- ;; extract guile-json.
- (list (channel
- (name 'guix)
- (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
- (commit
- "65956ad3526ba09e1f7a40722c96c6ef7c0936fe"))))
- (define inferior
- ;; An inferior representing the above revision.
- (inferior-for-channels channels))
- ;; Now create a manifest with the current "guile" package
- ;; and the old "guile-json" package.
- (packages->manifest
- (list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "guile-json"))
- (specification->package "guile")))
- @end lisp
- On its first run, @command{guix package --manifest} might have to build the
- channel you specified before it can create the inferior; subsequent runs will
- be much faster because the Guix revision will be cached.
- The @code{(guix inferior)} module provides the following procedures to open an
- inferior:
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} inferior-for-channels @var{channels} @
- [#:cache-directory] [#:ttl]
- Return an inferior for @var{channels}, a list of channels. Use the cache at
- @var{cache-directory}, where entries can be reclaimed after @var{ttl} seconds.
- This procedure opens a new connection to the build daemon.
- As a side effect, this procedure may build or substitute binaries for
- @var{channels}, which can take time.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} open-inferior @var{directory} @
- [#:command "bin/guix"]
- Open the inferior Guix in @var{directory}, running
- @code{@var{directory}/@var{command} repl} or equivalent. Return @code{#f} if
- the inferior could not be launched.
- @end deffn
- @cindex inferior packages
- The procedures listed below allow you to obtain and manipulate inferior
- packages.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} inferior-packages @var{inferior}
- Return the list of packages known to @var{inferior}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} lookup-inferior-packages @var{inferior} @var{name} @
- [@var{version}]
- Return the sorted list of inferior packages matching @var{name} in
- @var{inferior}, with highest version numbers first. If @var{version} is true,
- return only packages with a version number prefixed by @var{version}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package? @var{obj}
- Return true if @var{obj} is an inferior package.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package-name @var{package}
- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package-version @var{package}
- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package-synopsis @var{package}

- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package-transitive-native-search-paths @var{package}
- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} inferior-package-search-paths @var{package}
- These procedures are the counterpart of package record accessors
- (@pxref{package Reference}). Most of them work by querying the inferior
- @var{package} comes from, so the inferior must still be live when you call
- these procedures.
- @end deffn
- Inferior packages can be used transparently like any other package or
- file-like object in G-expressions (@pxref{G-Expressions}). They are also
- transparently handled by the @code{packages->manifest} procedure, which is
- commonly use in manifests (@pxref{Invoking guix package, the
- @option{--manifest} option of @command{guix package}}). Thus you can insert
- an inferior package pretty much anywhere you would insert a regular package:
- in manifests, in the @code{packages} field of your @code{operating-system}
- declaration, and so on.

- Often you may want to answer questions like: ``Which revision of Guix am I

- When run from a @command{guix pull}ed @command{guix}, @command{guix describe}

- @end example
- If you're familiar with the Git version control system, this is similar in
- spirit to @command{git describe}; the output is also similar to that of
- @command{guix pull --list-generations}, but limited to the current generation
- (@pxref{Invoking guix pull, the @option{--list-generations} option}). Because
- the Git commit ID shown above unambiguously refers to a snapshot of Guix, this
- information is all it takes to describe the revision of Guix you're using, and
- also to replicate it.
- To make it easier to replicate Guix, @command{guix describe} can also be asked
- to return a list of channels instead of the human-readable description above:
- @example
- $ guix describe -f channels
- (list (channel
- (name 'guix)
- (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")

- @item channels-sans-intro
- like @code{channels}, but omit the @code{introduction} field; use it to
- produce a channel specification suitable for Guix version 1.1.0 or
- earlier---the @code{introduction} field has to do with channel
- authentication (@pxref{Channels, Channel Authentication}) and is not

- @cindex archive
- The @command{guix archive} command allows users to @dfn{export} files
- from the store into a single archive, and to later @dfn{import} them on
- a machine that runs Guix.
- In particular, it allows store files to be transferred from one machine
- to the store on another machine.
- @quotation Note

- @end quotation
- @cindex exporting store items
- To export store files as an archive to standard output, run:
- @example
- guix archive --export @var{options} @var{specifications}...
- @end example
- @var{specifications} may be either store file names or package
- specifications, as for @command{guix package} (@pxref{Invoking guix
- package}). For instance, the following command creates an archive
- containing the @code{gui} output of the @code{git} package and the main
- output of @code{emacs}:
- @example
- guix archive --export git:gui /gnu/store/...-emacs-24.3 > great.nar
- @end example
- If the specified packages are not built yet, @command{guix archive}
- automatically builds them. The build process may be controlled with the
- common build options (@pxref{Common Build Options}).
- To transfer the @code{emacs} package to a machine connected over SSH,
- one would run:
- @example
- guix archive --export -r emacs | ssh the-machine guix archive --import
- @end example
- @noindent
- Similarly, a complete user profile may be transferred from one machine
- to another like this:
- @example
- guix archive --export -r $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile) | \
- ssh the-machine guix archive --import
- @end example
- @noindent
- However, note that, in both examples, all of @code{emacs} and the
- profile as well as all of their dependencies are transferred (due to
- @option{-r}), regardless of what is already available in the store on
- the target machine. The @option{--missing} option can help figure out
- which items are missing from the target store. The @command{guix copy}
- command simplifies and optimizes this whole process, so this is probably
- what you should use in this case (@pxref{Invoking guix copy}).
- @cindex nar, archive format
- @cindex normalized archive (nar)
- @cindex nar bundle, archive format
- Each store item is written in the @dfn{normalized archive} or @dfn{nar}
- format (described below), and the output of @command{guix archive
- --export} (and input of @command{guix archive --import}) is a @dfn{nar
- bundle}.
- The nar format is
- comparable in spirit to `tar', but with differences
- that make it more appropriate for our purposes. First, rather than
- recording all Unix metadata for each file, the nar format only mentions
- the file type (regular, directory, or symbolic link); Unix permissions
- and owner/group are dismissed. Second, the order in which directory
- entries are stored always follows the order of file names according to
- the C locale collation order. This makes archive production fully
- deterministic.
- That nar bundle format is essentially the concatenation of zero or more
- nars along with metadata for each store item it contains: its file name,
- references, corresponding derivation, and a digital signature.
- When exporting, the daemon digitally signs the contents of the archive,
- and that digital signature is appended. When importing, the daemon
- verifies the signature and rejects the import in case of an invalid
- signature or if the signing key is not authorized.
- @c FIXME: Add xref to daemon doc about signatures.
- The main options are:
- @table @code
- @item --export
- Export the specified store files or packages (see below). Write the
- resulting archive to the standard output.
- Dependencies are @emph{not} included in the output, unless
- @option{--recursive} is passed.
- @item -r
- @itemx --recursive
- When combined with @option{--export}, this instructs @command{guix archive}
- to include dependencies of the given items in the archive. Thus, the
- resulting archive is self-contained: it contains the closure of the
- exported store items.
- @item --import
- Read an archive from the standard input, and import the files listed
- therein into the store. Abort if the archive has an invalid digital
- signature, or if it is signed by a public key not among the authorized
- keys (see @option{--authorize} below).
- @item --missing
- Read a list of store file names from the standard input, one per line,
- and write on the standard output the subset of these files missing from
- the store.
- @item --generate-key[=@var{parameters}]
- @cindex signing, archives
- Generate a new key pair for the daemon. This is a prerequisite before
- archives can be exported with @option{--export}. This
- operation is usually instantaneous but it can take time if the system's
- entropy pool needs to be refilled. On Guix System,
- @code{guix-service-type} takes care of generating this key pair the
- first boot.
- The generated key pair is typically stored under @file{/etc/guix}, in
- @file{signing-key.pub} (public key) and @file{signing-key.sec} (private
- key, which must be kept secret). When @var{parameters} is omitted,
- an ECDSA key using the Ed25519 curve is generated, or, for Libgcrypt
- versions before 1.6.0, it is a 4096-bit RSA key.
- Alternatively, @var{parameters} can specify
- @code{genkey} parameters suitable for Libgcrypt (@pxref{General
- public-key related Functions, @code{gcry_pk_genkey},, gcrypt, The
- Libgcrypt Reference Manual}).
- @item --authorize
- @cindex authorizing, archives
- Authorize imports signed by the public key passed on standard input.
- The public key must be in ``s-expression advanced format''---i.e., the
- same format as the @file{signing-key.pub} file.
- The list of authorized keys is kept in the human-editable file
- @file{/etc/guix/acl}. The file contains
- @url{https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Sexp.txt, ``advanced-format
- s-expressions''} and is structured as an access-control list in the
- @url{https://theworld.com/~cme/spki.txt, Simple Public-Key Infrastructure
- (SPKI)}.
- @item --extract=@var{directory}
- @itemx -x @var{directory}
- Read a single-item archive as served by substitute servers
- (@pxref{Substitutes}) and extract it to @var{directory}. This is a
- low-level operation needed in only very narrow use cases; see below.
- For example, the following command extracts the substitute for Emacs
- served by @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} to @file{/tmp/emacs}:
- @example
- $ wget -O - \
- https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}/nar/gzip/@dots{}-emacs-24.5 \
- | gunzip | guix archive -x /tmp/emacs
- @end example
- Single-item archives are different from multiple-item archives produced
- by @command{guix archive --export}; they contain a single store item,
- and they do @emph{not} embed a signature. Thus this operation does
- @emph{no} signature verification and its output should be considered
- unsafe.
- The primary purpose of this operation is to facilitate inspection of
- archive contents coming from possibly untrusted substitute servers
- (@pxref{Invoking guix challenge}).
- @item --list
- @itemx -t
- Read a single-item archive as served by substitute servers
- (@pxref{Substitutes}) and print the list of files it contains, as in
- this example:
- @example
- $ wget -O - \
- https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}/nar/lzip/@dots{}-emacs-26.3 \
- | lzip -d | guix archive -t

- @node Channel Authentication
- @section Channel Authentication
- @anchor{channel-authentication}
- @cindex authentication, of channel code
- The @command{guix pull} and @command{guix time-machine} commands
- @dfn{authenticate} the code retrieved from channels: they make sure each
- commit that is fetched is signed by an authorized developer. The goal
- is to protect from unauthorized modifications to the channel that would
- lead users to run malicious code.
- As a user, you must provide a @dfn{channel introduction} in your
- channels file so that Guix knows how to authenticate its first commit.
- A channel specification, including its introduction, looks something
- along these lines:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (name 'some-channel)
- (url "https://example.org/some-channel.git")
- (introduction
- (make-channel-introduction
- "6f0d8cc0d88abb59c324b2990bfee2876016bb86"

- @end lisp
- The specification above shows the name and URL of the channel. The call
- to @code{make-channel-introduction} above specifies that authentication
- of this channel starts at commit @code{6f0d8cc@dots{}}, which is signed
- by the OpenPGP key with fingerprint @code{CABB A931@dots{}}.
- For the main channel, called @code{guix}, you automatically get that
- information from your Guix installation. For other channels, include
- the channel introduction provided by the channel authors in your
- @file{channels.scm} file. Make sure you retrieve the channel
- introduction from a trusted source since that is the root of your trust.
- If you're curious about the authentication mechanics, read on!
- @node Creating a Channel
- @section Creating a Channel
- @cindex personal packages (channels)
- @cindex channels, for personal packages
- Let's say you have a bunch of custom package variants or personal packages
- that you think would make little sense to contribute to the Guix project, but
- would like to have these packages transparently available to you at the
- command line. You would first write modules containing those package
- definitions (@pxref{Package Modules}), maintain them in a Git repository, and
- then you and anyone else can use it as an additional channel to get packages
- from. Neat, no?
- @c What follows stems from discussions at
- @c <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22629#134> as well as
- @c earlier discussions on guix-devel@gnu.org.
- @quotation Warning
- Before you, dear user, shout---``woow this is @emph{soooo coool}!''---and
- publish your personal channel to the world, we would like to share a few words
- of caution:
- @itemize
- @item
- Before publishing a channel, please consider contributing your package
- definitions to Guix proper (@pxref{Contributing}). Guix as a project is open
- to free software of all sorts, and packages in Guix proper are readily
- available to all Guix users and benefit from the project's quality assurance
- process.
- @item
- When you maintain package definitions outside Guix, we, Guix developers,
- consider that @emph{the compatibility burden is on you}. Remember that
- package modules and package definitions are just Scheme code that uses various
- programming interfaces (APIs). We want to remain free to change these APIs to
- keep improving Guix, possibly in ways that break your channel. We never
- change APIs gratuitously, but we will @emph{not} commit to freezing APIs
- either.
- @item
- Corollary: if you're using an external channel and that channel breaks, please
- @emph{report the issue to the channel authors}, not to the Guix project.
- @end itemize
- You've been warned! Having said this, we believe external channels are a
- practical way to exert your freedom to augment Guix' package collection and to
- share your improvements, which are basic tenets of
- @uref{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html, free software}. Please
- email us at @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org} if you'd like to discuss this.
- @end quotation
- To create a channel, create a Git repository containing your own package
- modules and make it available. The repository can contain anything, but a
- useful channel will contain Guile modules that export packages. Once you
- start using a channel, Guix will behave as if the root directory of that
- channel's Git repository has been added to the Guile load path (@pxref{Load
- Paths,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}). For example, if your channel
- contains a file at @file{my-packages/my-tools.scm} that defines a Guile
- module, then the module will be available under the name @code{(my-packages
- my-tools)}, and you will be able to use it like any other module
- (@pxref{Modules,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- As a channel author, consider bundling authentication material with your
- channel so that users can authenticate it. @xref{Channel
- Authentication}, and @ref{Specifying Channel Authorizations}, for info
- on how to do it.
- @node Package Modules in a Sub-directory
- @section Package Modules in a Sub-directory
- @cindex subdirectory, channels
- As a channel author, you may want to keep your channel modules in a
- sub-directory. If your modules are in the sub-directory @file{guix}, you must
- add a meta-data file @file{.guix-channel} that contains:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (version 0)
- (directory "guix"))
- @end lisp
- @node Declaring Channel Dependencies
- @section Declaring Channel Dependencies
- @cindex dependencies, channels
- @cindex meta-data, channels
- Channel authors may decide to augment a package collection provided by other
- channels. They can declare their channel to be dependent on other channels in
- a meta-data file @file{.guix-channel}, which is to be placed in the root of
- the channel repository.
- The meta-data file should contain a simple S-expression like this:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (version 0)
- (dependencies
- (channel
- (name 'some-collection)
- (url "https://example.org/first-collection.git")
- ;; The 'introduction' bit below is optional: you would
- ;; provide it for dependencies that can be authenticated.
- (introduction
- (channel-introduction
- (version 0)
- (commit "a8883b58dc82e167c96506cf05095f37c2c2c6cd")
- (signer "CABB A931 C0FF EEC6 900D 0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5"))))
- (channel
- (name 'some-other-collection)
- (url "https://example.org/second-collection.git")
- (branch "testing"))))
- @end lisp
- In the above example this channel is declared to depend on two other channels,
- which will both be fetched automatically. The modules provided by the channel
- will be compiled in an environment where the modules of all these declared
- channels are available.
- For the sake of reliability and maintainability, you should avoid dependencies
- on channels that you don't control, and you should aim to keep the number of
- dependencies to a minimum.
- @node Specifying Channel Authorizations
- @section Specifying Channel Authorizations
- @cindex channel authorizations
- @anchor{channel-authorizations}
- As we saw above, Guix ensures the source code it pulls from channels
- comes from authorized developers. As a channel author, you need to
- specify the list of authorized developers in the
- @file{.guix-authorizations} file in the channel's Git repository. The
- authentication rule is simple: each commit must be signed by a key
- listed in the @file{.guix-authorizations} file of its parent
- commit(s)@footnote{Git commits form a @dfn{directed acyclic graph}
- (DAG). Each commit can have zero or more parents; ``regular'' commits
- have one parent and merge commits have two parent commits. Read
- @uref{https://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/, @i{Git
- for Computer Scientists}} for a great overview.} The
- @file{.guix-authorizations} file looks like this:
- @lisp
- ;; Example '.guix-authorizations' file.
- (authorizations
- (version 0) ;current file format version
- (("AD17 A21E F8AE D8F1 CC02 DBD9 F8AE D8F1 765C 61E3"
- (name "alice"))
- ("2A39 3FFF 68F4 EF7A 3D29 12AF 68F4 EF7A 22FB B2D5"
- (name "bob"))
- ("CABB A931 C0FF EEC6 900D 0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5"
- (name "charlie"))))
- @end lisp
- Each fingerprint is followed by optional key/value pairs, as in the
- example above. Currently these key/value pairs are ignored.
- This authentication rule creates a chicken-and-egg issue: how do we
- authenticate the first commit? Related to that: how do we deal with
- channels whose repository history contains unsigned commits and lack
- @file{.guix-authorizations}? And how do we fork existing channels?
- @cindex channel introduction
- Channel introductions answer these questions by describing the first
- commit of a channel that should be authenticated. The first time a
- channel is fetched with @command{guix pull} or @command{guix
- time-machine}, the command looks up the introductory commit and verifies
- that it is signed by the specified OpenPGP key. From then on, it
- authenticates commits according to the rule above.
- Additionally, your channel must provide all the OpenPGP keys that were
- ever mentioned in @file{.guix-authorizations}, stored as @file{.key}
- files, which can be either binary or ``ASCII-armored''. By default,
- those @file{.key} files are searched for in the branch named
- @code{keyring} but you can specify a different branch name in
- @code{.guix-channel} like so:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (version 0)
- (keyring-reference "my-keyring-branch"))
- @end lisp
- To summarize, as the author of a channel, there are three things you have
- to do to allow users to authenticate your code:
- @enumerate
- @item
- Export the OpenPGP keys of past and present committers with @command{gpg
- --export} and store them in @file{.key} files, by default in a branch
- named @code{keyring} (we recommend making it an @dfn{orphan branch}).
- @item
- Introduce an initial @file{.guix-authorizations} in the channel's
- repository. Do that in a signed commit (@pxref{Commit Access}, for
- information on how to sign Git commits.)
- @item
- Advertise the channel introduction, for instance on your channel's web
- page. The channel introduction, as we saw above, is the commit/key
- pair---i.e., the commit that introduced @file{.guix-authorizations}, and
- the fingerprint of the OpenPGP used to sign it.
- @end enumerate
- Before pushing to your public Git repository, you can run @command{guix
- git-authenticate} to verify that you did sign all the commits you are
- about to push with an authorized key:
- @example
- guix git authenticate @var{commit} @var{signer}
- @end example
- @noindent
- where @var{commit} and @var{signer} are your channel introduction.
- @xref{Invoking guix git authenticate}, for details.
- Publishing a signed channel requires discipline: any mistake, such as an
- unsigned commit or a commit signed by an unauthorized key, will prevent
- users from pulling from your channel---well, that's the whole point of
- authentication! Pay attention to merges in particular: merge commits
- are considered authentic if and only if they are signed by a key present
- in the @file{.guix-authorizations} file of @emph{both} branches.
- @node Primary URL
- @section Primary URL
- @cindex primary URL, channels
- Channel authors can indicate the primary URL of their channel's Git
- repository in the @file{.guix-channel} file, like so:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (version 0)
- (url "https://example.org/guix.git"))
- @end lisp
- This allows @command{guix pull} to determine whether it is pulling code
- from a mirror of the channel; when that is the case, it warns the user
- that the mirror might be stale and displays the primary URL@. That way,
- users cannot be tricked into fetching code from a stale mirror that does
- not receive security updates.
- This feature only makes sense for authenticated repositories, such as
- the official @code{guix} channel, for which @command{guix pull} ensures
- the code it fetches is authentic.
- @node Writing Channel News
- @section Writing Channel News
- @cindex news, for channels
- Channel authors may occasionally want to communicate to their users
- information about important changes in the channel. You'd send them all
- an email, but that's not convenient.
- Instead, channels can provide a @dfn{news file}; when the channel users
- run @command{guix pull}, that news file is automatically read and
- @command{guix pull --news} can display the announcements that correspond
- to the new commits that have been pulled, if any.
- To do that, channel authors must first declare the name of the news file
- in their @file{.guix-channel} file:
- @lisp
- (channel
- (version 0)
- (news-file "etc/news.txt"))
- @end lisp
- The news file itself, @file{etc/news.txt} in this example, must look
- something like this:
- @lisp
- (channel-news
- (version 0)
- (entry (tag "the-bug-fix")
- (title (en "Fixed terrible bug")
- (fr "Oh la la"))
- (body (en "@@emph@{Good news@}! It's fixed!")
- (eo "Certe ĝi pli bone funkcias nun!")))
- (entry (commit "bdcabe815cd28144a2d2b4bc3c5057b051fa9906")
- (title (en "Added a great package")
- (ca "Què vol dir guix?"))
- (body (en "Don't miss the @@code@{hello@} package!"))))
- @end lisp
- While the news file is using the Scheme syntax, avoid naming it with a
- @file{.scm} extension or else it will get picked up when building the
- channel and yield an error since it is not a valid module.
- Alternatively, you can move the channel module to a subdirectory and
- store the news file in another directory.
- The file consists of a list of @dfn{news entries}. Each entry is
- associated with a commit or tag: it describes changes made in this
- commit, possibly in preceding commits as well. Users see entries only
- the first time they obtain the commit the entry refers to.
- The @code{title} field should be a one-line summary while @code{body}
- can be arbitrarily long, and both can contain Texinfo markup
- (@pxref{Overview,,, texinfo, GNU Texinfo}). Both the title and body are
- a list of language tag/message tuples, which allows @command{guix pull}
- to display news in the language that corresponds to the user's locale.
- If you want to translate news using a gettext-based workflow, you can
- extract translatable strings with @command{xgettext} (@pxref{xgettext
- Invocation,,, gettext, GNU Gettext Utilities}). For example, assuming
- you write news entries in English first, the command below creates a PO
- file containing the strings to translate:
- @example
- xgettext -o news.po -l scheme -ken etc/news.txt
- @end example
- To sum up, yes, you could use your channel as a blog. But beware, this
- is @emph{not quite} what your users might expect.
- @node Channels with Substitutes
- @section Channels with Substitutes
- When running @command{guix pull}, Guix will first compile the
- definitions of every available package. This is an expensive operation
- for which substitutes (@pxref{Substitutes}) may be available. The
- following snippet in @file{channels.scm} will ensure that @command{guix
- pull} uses the latest commit with available substitutes for the package
- definitions: this is done by querying the continuous integration
- server at @url{https://ci.guix.gnu.org}.
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix ci))
- (list (channel-with-substitutes-available
- %default-guix-channel
- "https://ci.guix.gnu.org"))
- @end lisp
- Note that this does not mean that all the packages that you will
- install after running @command{guix pull} will have available
- substitutes. It only ensures that @command{guix pull} will not try to
- compile package definitions. This is particularly useful when using
- machines with limited resources.

- wrongfully augment environment variables such as @env{PATH} in their
- @file{~/.bashrc} file. As a consequence, when @command{guix
- environment} launches it, Bash may read @file{~/.bashrc}, thereby
- introducing ``impurities'' in these environment variables. It is an
- error to define such environment variables in @file{.bashrc}; instead,
- they should be defined in @file{.bash_profile}, which is sourced only by
- log-in shells. @xref{Bash Startup Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash Reference
- Manual}, for details on Bash start-up files.}.
- Exiting from a Guix environment is the same as exiting from the shell,
- and will place the user back in the old environment before @command{guix
- environment} was invoked. The next garbage collection (@pxref{Invoking
- guix gc}) will clean up packages that were installed from within the
- environment and are no longer used outside of it.
- @vindex GUIX_ENVIRONMENT
- @command{guix environment} defines the @env{GUIX_ENVIRONMENT}
- variable in the shell it spawns; its value is the file name of the
- profile of this environment. This allows users to, say, define a
- specific prompt for development environments in their @file{.bashrc}
- (@pxref{Bash Startup Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash Reference Manual}):
- @example
- if [ -n "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" ]
- then
- export PS1="\u@@\h \w [dev]\$ "
- fi
- @end example
- @noindent
- ...@: or to browse the profile:
- @example
- $ ls "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/bin"
- @end example
- Additionally, more than one package may be specified, in which case the
- union of the inputs for the given packages are used. For example, the
- command below spawns a shell where all of the dependencies of both Guile
- and Emacs are available:
- @example
- guix environment guile emacs
- @end example
- Sometimes an interactive shell session is not desired. An arbitrary
- command may be invoked by placing the @code{--} token to separate the
- command from the rest of the arguments:
- @example
- guix environment guile -- make -j4
- @end example
- In other situations, it is more convenient to specify the list of
- packages needed in the environment. For example, the following command
- runs @command{python} from an environment containing Python@tie{}2.7 and
- NumPy:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc python2-numpy python-2.7 -- python
- @end example
- Furthermore, one might want the dependencies of a package and also some
- additional packages that are not build-time or runtime dependencies, but
- are useful when developing nonetheless. Because of this, the
- @option{--ad-hoc} flag is positional. Packages appearing before
- @option{--ad-hoc} are interpreted as packages whose dependencies will be
- added to the environment. Packages appearing after are interpreted as
- packages that will be added to the environment directly. For example,
- the following command creates a Guix development environment that
- additionally includes Git and strace:
- @example
- guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc git strace
- @end example
- @cindex container
- Sometimes it is desirable to isolate the environment as much as
- possible, for maximal purity and reproducibility. In particular, when
- using Guix on a host distro that is not Guix System, it is desirable to
- prevent access to @file{/usr/bin} and other system-wide resources from
- the development environment. For example, the following command spawns
- a Guile REPL in a ``container'' where only the store and the current
- working directory are mounted:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc --container guile -- guile
- @end example
- @quotation Note
- The @option{--container} option requires Linux-libre 3.19 or newer.
- @end quotation
- @cindex certificates
- Another typical use case for containers is to run security-sensitive
- applications such as a web browser. To run Eolie, we must expose and
- share some files and directories; we include @code{nss-certs} and expose
- @file{/etc/ssl/certs/} for HTTPS authentication; finally we preserve the
- @env{DISPLAY} environment variable since containerized graphical
- applications won't display without it.
- @example
- guix environment --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --container --network \
- --expose=/etc/machine-id \
- --expose=/etc/ssl/certs/ \
- --share=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/=$HOME/.local/share/eolie/ \
- --ad-hoc eolie nss-certs dbus -- eolie
- @end example
- The available options are summarized below.
- @table @code
- @item --root=@var{file}
- @itemx -r @var{file}
- @cindex persistent environment
- @cindex garbage collector root, for environments
- Make @var{file} a symlink to the profile for this environment, and
- register it as a garbage collector root.
- This is useful if you want to protect your environment from garbage
- collection, to make it ``persistent''.
- When this option is omitted, the environment is protected from garbage
- collection only for the duration of the @command{guix environment}
- session. This means that next time you recreate the same environment,
- you could have to rebuild or re-download packages. @xref{Invoking guix
- gc}, for more on GC roots.
- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Create an environment for the package or list of packages that
- @var{expr} evaluates to.
- For example, running:
- @example
- guix environment -e '(@@ (gnu packages maths) petsc-openmpi)'
- @end example
- starts a shell with the environment for this specific variant of the
- PETSc package.
- Running:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc -e '(@@ (gnu) %base-packages)'
- @end example
- starts a shell with all the base system packages available.
- The above commands only use the default output of the given packages.
- To select other outputs, two element tuples can be specified:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc -e '(list (@@ (gnu packages bash) bash) "include")'
- @end example
- @item --load=@var{file}
- @itemx -l @var{file}
- Create an environment for the package or list of packages that the code
- within @var{file} evaluates to.
- As an example, @var{file} might contain a definition like this
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}):
- @lisp
- @verbatiminclude environment-gdb.scm
- @end lisp
- @item --manifest=@var{file}
- @itemx -m @var{file}
- Create an environment for the packages contained in the manifest object
- returned by the Scheme code in @var{file}. This option can be repeated
- several times, in which case the manifests are concatenated.
- This is similar to the same-named option in @command{guix package}
- (@pxref{profile-manifest, @option{--manifest}}) and uses the same
- manifest files.
- @item --ad-hoc
- Include all specified packages in the resulting environment, as if an
- @i{ad hoc} package were defined with them as inputs. This option is
- useful for quickly creating an environment without having to write a
- package expression to contain the desired inputs.
- For instance, the command:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc guile guile-sdl -- guile
- @end example
- runs @command{guile} in an environment where Guile and Guile-SDL are
- available.
- Note that this example implicitly asks for the default output of
- @code{guile} and @code{guile-sdl}, but it is possible to ask for a
- specific output---e.g., @code{glib:bin} asks for the @code{bin} output
- of @code{glib} (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}).
- This option may be composed with the default behavior of @command{guix
- environment}. Packages appearing before @option{--ad-hoc} are
- interpreted as packages whose dependencies will be added to the
- environment, the default behavior. Packages appearing after are
- interpreted as packages that will be added to the environment directly.
- @item --pure
- Unset existing environment variables when building the new environment, except
- those specified with @option{--preserve} (see below). This has the effect of
- creating an environment in which search paths only contain package inputs.
- @item --preserve=@var{regexp}
- @itemx -E @var{regexp}
- When used alongside @option{--pure}, preserve the environment variables
- matching @var{regexp}---in other words, put them on a ``white list'' of
- environment variables that must be preserved. This option can be repeated
- several times.
- @example
- guix environment --pure --preserve=^SLURM --ad-hoc openmpi @dots{} \
- -- mpirun @dots{}
- @end example
- This example runs @command{mpirun} in a context where the only environment
- variables defined are @env{PATH}, environment variables whose name starts
- with @samp{SLURM}, as well as the usual ``precious'' variables (@env{HOME},
- @env{USER}, etc.).
- @item --search-paths
- Display the environment variable definitions that make up the
- environment.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Attempt to build for @var{system}---e.g., @code{i686-linux}.
- @item --container
- @itemx -C
- @cindex container
- Run @var{command} within an isolated container. The current working
- directory outside the container is mapped inside the container.
- Additionally, unless overridden with @option{--user}, a dummy home
- directory is created that matches the current user's home directory, and
- @file{/etc/passwd} is configured accordingly.
- The spawned process runs as the current user outside the container. Inside
- the container, it has the same UID and GID as the current user, unless
- @option{--user} is passed (see below).
- @item --network
- @itemx -N
- For containers, share the network namespace with the host system.
- Containers created without this flag only have access to the loopback
- device.
- @item --link-profile
- @itemx -P
- For containers, link the environment profile to @file{~/.guix-profile}
- within the container and set @code{GUIX_ENVIRONMENT} to that.
- This is equivalent to making @file{~/.guix-profile} a symlink to the
- actual profile within the container.
- Linking will fail and abort the environment if the directory already
- exists, which will certainly be the case if @command{guix environment}
- was invoked in the user's home directory.
- Certain packages are configured to look in @file{~/.guix-profile} for
- configuration files and data;@footnote{For example, the
- @code{fontconfig} package inspects @file{~/.guix-profile/share/fonts}
- for additional fonts.} @option{--link-profile} allows these programs to
- behave as expected within the environment.
- @item --user=@var{user}
- @itemx -u @var{user}
- For containers, use the username @var{user} in place of the current
- user. The generated @file{/etc/passwd} entry within the container will
- contain the name @var{user}, the home directory will be
- @file{/home/@var{user}}, and no user GECOS data will be copied. Furthermore,
- the UID and GID inside the container are 1000. @var{user}
- need not exist on the system.
- Additionally, any shared or exposed path (see @option{--share} and
- @option{--expose} respectively) whose target is within the current user's
- home directory will be remapped relative to @file{/home/USER}; this
- includes the automatic mapping of the current working directory.
- @example
- # will expose paths as /home/foo/wd, /home/foo/test, and /home/foo/target
- cd $HOME/wd
- guix environment --container --user=foo \
- --expose=$HOME/test \
- --expose=/tmp/target=$HOME/target
- @end example
- While this will limit the leaking of user identity through home paths
- and each of the user fields, this is only one useful component of a
- broader privacy/anonymity solution---not one in and of itself.
- @item --no-cwd
- For containers, the default behavior is to share the current working
- directory with the isolated container and immediately change to that
- directory within the container. If this is undesirable,
- @option{--no-cwd} will cause the current working directory to @emph{not}
- be automatically shared and will change to the user's home directory
- within the container instead. See also @option{--user}.
- @item --expose=@var{source}[=@var{target}]
- @itemx --share=@var{source}[=@var{target}]
- For containers, @option{--expose} (resp. @option{--share}) exposes the
- file system @var{source} from the host system as the read-only
- (resp. writable) file system @var{target} within the container. If
- @var{target} is not specified, @var{source} is used as the target mount
- point in the container.
- The example below spawns a Guile REPL in a container in which the user's
- home directory is accessible read-only via the @file{/exchange}
- directory:
- @example
- guix environment --container --expose=$HOME=/exchange --ad-hoc guile -- guile
- @end example
- @end table
- @command{guix environment}
- also supports all of the common build options that @command{guix
- build} supports (@pxref{Common Build Options}) as well as package
- transformation options (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}).
- @node Invoking guix pack
- @section Invoking @command{guix pack}
- Occasionally you want to pass software to people who are not (yet!)
- lucky enough to be using Guix. You'd tell them to run @command{guix
- package -i @var{something}}, but that's not possible in this case. This
- is where @command{guix pack} comes in.
- @quotation Note
- If you are looking for ways to exchange binaries among machines that
- already run Guix, @pxref{Invoking guix copy}, @ref{Invoking guix
- publish}, and @ref{Invoking guix archive}.
- @end quotation
- @cindex pack
- @cindex bundle
- @cindex application bundle
- @cindex software bundle
- The @command{guix pack} command creates a shrink-wrapped @dfn{pack} or
- @dfn{software bundle}: it creates a tarball or some other archive
- containing the binaries of the software you're interested in, and all
- its dependencies. The resulting archive can be used on any machine that
- does not have Guix, and people can run the exact same binaries as those
- you have with Guix. The pack itself is created in a bit-reproducible
- fashion, so anyone can verify that it really contains the build results
- that you pretend to be shipping.
- For example, to create a bundle containing Guile, Emacs, Geiser, and all
- their dependencies, you can run:
- @example
- $ guix pack guile emacs geiser
- @dots{}
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-pack.tar.gz
- @end example
- The result here is a tarball containing a @file{/gnu/store} directory
- with all the relevant packages. The resulting tarball contains a
- @dfn{profile} with the three packages of interest; the profile is the
- same as would be created by @command{guix package -i}. It is this
- mechanism that is used to create Guix's own standalone binary tarball
- (@pxref{Binary Installation}).
- Users of this pack would have to run
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-profile/bin/guile} to run Guile, which you may
- find inconvenient. To work around it, you can create, say, a
- @file{/opt/gnu/bin} symlink to the profile:
- @example
- guix pack -S /opt/gnu/bin=bin guile emacs geiser
- @end example
- @noindent
- That way, users can happily type @file{/opt/gnu/bin/guile} and enjoy.
- @cindex relocatable binaries, with @command{guix pack}
- What if the recipient of your pack does not have root privileges on
- their machine, and thus cannot unpack it in the root file system? In
- that case, you will want to use the @option{--relocatable} option (see
- below). This option produces @dfn{relocatable binaries}, meaning they
- they can be placed anywhere in the file system hierarchy: in the example
- above, users can unpack your tarball in their home directory and
- directly run @file{./opt/gnu/bin/guile}.
- @cindex Docker, build an image with guix pack
- Alternatively, you can produce a pack in the Docker image format using
- the following command:
- @example
- guix pack -f docker -S /bin=bin guile guile-readline
- @end example
- @noindent
- The result is a tarball that can be passed to the @command{docker load}
- command, followed by @code{docker run}:
- @example
- docker load < @var{file}
- docker run -ti guile-guile-readline /bin/guile
- @end example
- @noindent
- where @var{file} is the image returned by @var{guix pack}, and
- @code{guile-guile-readline} is its ``image tag''. See the
- @uref{https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/load/, Docker
- documentation} for more information.
- @cindex Singularity, build an image with guix pack
- @cindex SquashFS, build an image with guix pack
- Yet another option is to produce a SquashFS image with the following
- command:
- @example
- guix pack -f squashfs bash guile emacs geiser
- @end example
- @noindent
- The result is a SquashFS file system image that can either be mounted or
- directly be used as a file system container image with the
- @uref{https://www.sylabs.io/docs/, Singularity container execution
- environment}, using commands like @command{singularity shell} or
- @command{singularity exec}.
- Several command-line options allow you to customize your pack:
- @table @code
- @item --format=@var{format}
- @itemx -f @var{format}
- Produce a pack in the given @var{format}.
- The available formats are:
- @table @code
- @item tarball
- This is the default format. It produces a tarball containing all the
- specified binaries and symlinks.
- @item docker
- This produces a tarball that follows the
- @uref{https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/image/spec/v1.2.md,
- Docker Image Specification}. The ``repository name'' as it appears in
- the output of the @command{docker images} command is computed from
- package names passed on the command line or in the manifest file.
- @item squashfs
- This produces a SquashFS image containing all the specified binaries and
- symlinks, as well as empty mount points for virtual file systems like
- procfs.
- @quotation Note
- Singularity @emph{requires} you to provide @file{/bin/sh} in the image.
- For that reason, @command{guix pack -f squashfs} always implies @code{-S
- /bin=bin}. Thus, your @command{guix pack} invocation must always start
- with something like:
- @example
- guix pack -f squashfs bash @dots{}
- @end example
- If you forget the @code{bash} (or similar) package, @command{singularity
- run} and @command{singularity exec} will fail with an unhelpful ``no
- such file or directory'' message.
- @end quotation
- @end table
- @cindex relocatable binaries
- @item --relocatable
- @itemx -R
- Produce @dfn{relocatable binaries}---i.e., binaries that can be placed
- anywhere in the file system hierarchy and run from there.
- When this option is passed once, the resulting binaries require support for
- @dfn{user namespaces} in the kernel Linux; when passed
- @emph{twice}@footnote{Here's a trick to memorize it: @code{-RR}, which adds
- PRoot support, can be thought of as the abbreviation of ``Really
- Relocatable''. Neat, isn't it?}, relocatable binaries fall to back to
- other techniques if user namespaces are unavailable, and essentially
- work anywhere---see below for the implications.
- For example, if you create a pack containing Bash with:
- @example
- guix pack -RR -S /mybin=bin bash
- @end example
- @noindent
- ...@: you can copy that pack to a machine that lacks Guix, and from your
- home directory as a normal user, run:
- @example
- tar xf pack.tar.gz
- ./mybin/sh
- @end example
- @noindent
- In that shell, if you type @code{ls /gnu/store}, you'll notice that
- @file{/gnu/store} shows up and contains all the dependencies of
- @code{bash}, even though the machine actually lacks @file{/gnu/store}
- altogether! That is probably the simplest way to deploy Guix-built
- software on a non-Guix machine.
- @quotation Note
- By default, relocatable binaries rely on the @dfn{user namespace} feature of
- the kernel Linux, which allows unprivileged users to mount or change root.
- Old versions of Linux did not support it, and some GNU/Linux distributions
- turn it off.
- To produce relocatable binaries that work even in the absence of user
- namespaces, pass @option{--relocatable} or @option{-R} @emph{twice}. In that
- case, binaries will try user namespace support and fall back to another
- @dfn{execution engine} if user namespaces are not supported. The
- following execution engines are supported:
- @table @code
- @item default
- Try user namespaces and fall back to PRoot if user namespaces are not
- supported (see below).
- @item performance
- Try user namespaces and fall back to Fakechroot if user namespaces are
- not supported (see below).
- @item userns
- Run the program through user namespaces and abort if they are not
- supported.
- @item proot
- Run through PRoot. The @uref{https://proot-me.github.io/, PRoot} program
- provides the necessary
- support for file system virtualization. It achieves that by using the
- @code{ptrace} system call on the running program. This approach has the
- advantage to work without requiring special kernel support, but it incurs
- run-time overhead every time a system call is made.
- @item fakechroot
- Run through Fakechroot. @uref{https://github.com/dex4er/fakechroot/,
- Fakechroot} virtualizes file system accesses by intercepting calls to C
- library functions such as @code{open}, @code{stat}, @code{exec}, and so
- on. Unlike PRoot, it incurs very little overhead. However, it does not
- always work: for example, some file system accesses made from within the
- C library are not intercepted, and file system accesses made @i{via}
- direct syscalls are not intercepted either, leading to erratic behavior.
- @end table
- @vindex GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE
- When running a wrapped program, you can explicitly request one of the
- execution engines listed above by setting the
- @env{GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE} environment variable accordingly.
- @end quotation
- @cindex entry point, for Docker images
- @item --entry-point=@var{command}
- Use @var{command} as the @dfn{entry point} of the resulting pack, if the pack
- format supports it---currently @code{docker} and @code{squashfs} (Singularity)
- support it. @var{command} must be relative to the profile contained in the
- pack.
- The entry point specifies the command that tools like @code{docker run} or
- @code{singularity run} automatically start by default. For example, you can
- do:
- @example
- guix pack -f docker --entry-point=bin/guile guile
- @end example
- The resulting pack can easily be loaded and @code{docker run} with no extra
- arguments will spawn @code{bin/guile}:
- @example
- docker load -i pack.tar.gz
- docker run @var{image-id}
- @end example
- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Consider the package @var{expr} evaluates to.
- This has the same purpose as the same-named option in @command{guix
- build} (@pxref{Additional Build Options, @option{--expression} in
- @command{guix build}}).
- @item --manifest=@var{file}
- @itemx -m @var{file}
- Use the packages contained in the manifest object returned by the Scheme
- code in @var{file}. This option can be repeated several times, in which
- case the manifests are concatenated.
- This has a similar purpose as the same-named option in @command{guix
- package} (@pxref{profile-manifest, @option{--manifest}}) and uses the
- same manifest files. It allows you to define a collection of packages
- once and use it both for creating profiles and for creating archives
- for use on machines that do not have Guix installed. Note that you can
- specify @emph{either} a manifest file @emph{or} a list of packages,
- but not both.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Attempt to build for @var{system}---e.g., @code{i686-linux}---instead of
- the system type of the build host.
- @item --target=@var{triplet}
- @cindex cross-compilation
- Cross-build for @var{triplet}, which must be a valid GNU triplet, such
- as @code{"aarch64-linux-gnu"} (@pxref{Specifying target triplets, GNU
- configuration triplets,, autoconf, Autoconf}).
- @item --compression=@var{tool}
- @itemx -C @var{tool}
- Compress the resulting tarball using @var{tool}---one of @code{gzip},
- @code{zstd}, @code{bzip2}, @code{xz}, @code{lzip}, or @code{none} for no
- compression.
- @item --symlink=@var{spec}
- @itemx -S @var{spec}
- Add the symlinks specified by @var{spec} to the pack. This option can
- appear several times.
- @var{spec} has the form @code{@var{source}=@var{target}}, where
- @var{source} is the symlink that will be created and @var{target} is the
- symlink target.
- For instance, @code{-S /opt/gnu/bin=bin} creates a @file{/opt/gnu/bin}
- symlink pointing to the @file{bin} sub-directory of the profile.
- @item --save-provenance
- Save provenance information for the packages passed on the command line.
- Provenance information includes the URL and commit of the channels in use
- (@pxref{Channels}).
- Provenance information is saved in the
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-profile/manifest} file in the pack, along with the
- usual package metadata---the name and version of each package, their
- propagated inputs, and so on. It is useful information to the recipient of
- the pack, who then knows how the pack was (supposedly) obtained.
- This option is not enabled by default because, like timestamps, provenance
- information contributes nothing to the build process. In other words, there
- is an infinity of channel URLs and commit IDs that can lead to the same pack.
- Recording such ``silent'' metadata in the output thus potentially breaks the
- source-to-binary bitwise reproducibility property.
- @item --root=@var{file}
- @itemx -r @var{file}
- @cindex garbage collector root, for packs
- Make @var{file} a symlink to the resulting pack, and register it as a garbage
- collector root.
- @item --localstatedir
- @itemx --profile-name=@var{name}
- Include the ``local state directory'', @file{/var/guix}, in the resulting
- pack, and notably the @file{/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/@var{name}}
- profile---by default @var{name} is @code{guix-profile}, which corresponds to
- @file{~root/.guix-profile}.
- @file{/var/guix} contains the store database (@pxref{The Store}) as well
- as garbage-collector roots (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}). Providing it in
- the pack means that the store is ``complete'' and manageable by Guix;
- not providing it pack means that the store is ``dead'': items cannot be
- added to it or removed from it after extraction of the pack.
- One use case for this is the Guix self-contained binary tarball
- (@pxref{Binary Installation}).
- @item --derivation
- @itemx -d
- Print the name of the derivation that builds the pack.
- @item --bootstrap
- Use the bootstrap binaries to build the pack. This option is only
- useful to Guix developers.

- following the same rule as for channels (@pxref{channel-authentication,
- channel authentication}). That is, starting from a given commit, it
- ensures that all subsequent commits are signed by an OpenPGP key whose
- fingerprint appears in the @file{.guix-authorizations} file of its
- parent commit(s).
- You will find this command useful if you maintain a channel. But in
- fact, this authentication mechanism is useful in a broader context, so
- you might want to use it for Git repositories that have nothing to do
- with Guix.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix git authenticate @var{commit} @var{signer} [@var{options}@dots{}]
- @end example
- By default, this command authenticates the Git checkout in the current
- directory; it outputs nothing and exits with exit code zero on success
- and non-zero on failure. @var{commit} above denotes the first commit
- where authentication takes place, and @var{signer} is the OpenPGP
- fingerprint of public key used to sign @var{commit}. Together, they
- form a ``channel introduction'' (@pxref{channel-authentication, channel
- introduction}). The options below allow you to fine-tune the process.
- @table @code
- @item --repository=@var{directory}
- @itemx -r @var{directory}
- Open the Git repository in @var{directory} instead of the current
- directory.
- @item --keyring=@var{reference}
- @itemx -k @var{reference}
- Load OpenPGP keyring from @var{reference}, the reference of a branch
- such as @code{origin/keyring} or @code{my-keyring}. The branch must
- contain OpenPGP public keys in @file{.key} files, either in binary form
- or ``ASCII-armored''. By default the keyring is loaded from the branch
- named @code{keyring}.
- @item --stats
- Display commit signing statistics upon completion.
- @item --cache-key=@var{key}
- Previously-authenticated commits are cached in a file under
- @file{~/.cache/guix/authentication}. This option forces the cache to be
- stored in file @var{key} in that directory.
- @item --historical-authorizations=@var{file}
- By default, any commit whose parent commit(s) lack the
- @file{.guix-authorizations} file is considered inauthentic. In
- contrast, this option considers the authorizations in @var{file} for any
- commit that lacks @file{.guix-authorizations}. The format of @var{file}
- is the same as that of @file{.guix-authorizations}
- (@pxref{channel-authorizations, @file{.guix-authorizations} format}).

- @node Programming Interface
- @chapter Programming Interface
- GNU Guix provides several Scheme programming interfaces (APIs) to
- define, build, and query packages. The first interface allows users to
- write high-level package definitions. These definitions refer to
- familiar packaging concepts, such as the name and version of a package,
- its build system, and its dependencies. These definitions can then be
- turned into concrete build actions.
- Build actions are performed by the Guix daemon, on behalf of users. In a
- standard setup, the daemon has write access to the store---the
- @file{/gnu/store} directory---whereas users do not. The recommended
- setup also has the daemon perform builds in chroots, under specific
- build users, to minimize interference with the rest of the system.
- @cindex derivation
- Lower-level APIs are available to interact with the daemon and the
- store. To instruct the daemon to perform a build action, users actually
- provide it with a @dfn{derivation}. A derivation is a low-level
- representation of the build actions to be taken, and the environment in
- which they should occur---derivations are to package definitions what
- assembly is to C programs. The term ``derivation'' comes from the fact
- that build results @emph{derive} from them.
- This chapter describes all these APIs in turn, starting from high-level
- package definitions.

- @node Package Modules
- @section Package Modules
- From a programming viewpoint, the package definitions of the
- GNU distribution are provided by Guile modules in the @code{(gnu packages
- @dots{})} name space@footnote{Note that packages under the @code{(gnu
- packages @dots{})} module name space are not necessarily ``GNU
- packages''. This module naming scheme follows the usual Guile module
- naming convention: @code{gnu} means that these modules are distributed
- as part of the GNU system, and @code{packages} identifies modules that
- define packages.} (@pxref{Modules, Guile modules,, guile, GNU Guile
- Reference Manual}). For instance, the @code{(gnu packages emacs)}
- module exports a variable named @code{emacs}, which is bound to a
- @code{<package>} object (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
- The @code{(gnu packages @dots{})} module name space is
- automatically scanned for packages by the command-line tools. For
- instance, when running @code{guix install emacs}, all the @code{(gnu
- packages @dots{})} modules are scanned until one that exports a package
- object whose name is @code{emacs} is found. This package search
- facility is implemented in the @code{(gnu packages)} module.
- @cindex customization, of packages
- @cindex package module search path
- Users can store package definitions in modules with different
- names---e.g., @code{(my-packages emacs)}@footnote{Note that the file
- name and module name must match. For instance, the @code{(my-packages
- emacs)} module must be stored in a @file{my-packages/emacs.scm} file
- relative to the load path specified with @option{--load-path} or
- @env{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH}. @xref{Modules and the File System,,,
- guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}, for details.}. There are two ways to make
- these package definitions visible to the user interfaces:
- @enumerate
- @item
- By adding the directory containing your package modules to the search path
- with the @code{-L} flag of @command{guix package} and other commands
- (@pxref{Common Build Options}), or by setting the @env{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH}
- environment variable described below.
- @item
- By defining a @dfn{channel} and configuring @command{guix pull} so that it
- pulls from it. A channel is essentially a Git repository containing package
- modules. @xref{Channels}, for more information on how to define and use
- channels.
- @end enumerate
- @env{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH} works similarly to other search path variables:
- @defvr {Environment Variable} GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
- This is a colon-separated list of directories to search for additional
- package modules. Directories listed in this variable take precedence
- over the own modules of the distribution.
- @end defvr
- The distribution is fully @dfn{bootstrapped} and @dfn{self-contained}:
- each package is built based solely on other packages in the
- distribution. The root of this dependency graph is a small set of
- @dfn{bootstrap binaries}, provided by the @code{(gnu packages
- bootstrap)} module. For more information on bootstrapping,
- @pxref{Bootstrapping}.
- @node Defining Packages
- @section Defining Packages
- The high-level interface to package definitions is implemented in the
- @code{(guix packages)} and @code{(guix build-system)} modules. As an
- example, the package definition, or @dfn{recipe}, for the GNU Hello
- package looks like this:
- @lisp
- (define-module (gnu packages hello)
- #:use-module (guix packages)
- #:use-module (guix download)
- #:use-module (guix build-system gnu)
- #:use-module (guix licenses)
- #:use-module (gnu packages gawk))
- (define-public hello
- (package
- (name "hello")
- (version "2.10")
- (source (origin
- (method url-fetch)
- (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-" version
- ".tar.gz"))
- (sha256
- (base32
- "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i"))))
- (build-system gnu-build-system)
- (arguments '(#:configure-flags '("--enable-silent-rules")))
- (inputs `(("gawk" ,gawk)))
- (synopsis "Hello, GNU world: An example GNU package")
- (description "Guess what GNU Hello prints!")
- (home-page "https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/")
- (license gpl3+)))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- Without being a Scheme expert, the reader may have guessed the meaning
- of the various fields here. This expression binds the variable
- @code{hello} to a @code{<package>} object, which is essentially a record
- (@pxref{SRFI-9, Scheme records,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- This package object can be inspected using procedures found in the
- @code{(guix packages)} module; for instance, @code{(package-name hello)}
- returns---surprise!---@code{"hello"}.
- With luck, you may be able to import part or all of the definition of
- the package you are interested in from another repository, using the
- @code{guix import} command (@pxref{Invoking guix import}).
- In the example above, @code{hello} is defined in a module of its own,
- @code{(gnu packages hello)}. Technically, this is not strictly
- necessary, but it is convenient to do so: all the packages defined in
- modules under @code{(gnu packages @dots{})} are automatically known to
- the command-line tools (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- There are a few points worth noting in the above package definition:
- @itemize
- @item
- The @code{source} field of the package is an @code{<origin>} object
- (@pxref{origin Reference}, for the complete reference).
- Here, the @code{url-fetch} method from @code{(guix download)} is used,
- meaning that the source is a file to be downloaded over FTP or HTTP.
- The @code{mirror://gnu} prefix instructs @code{url-fetch} to use one of
- the GNU mirrors defined in @code{(guix download)}.
- The @code{sha256} field specifies the expected SHA256 hash of the file
- being downloaded. It is mandatory, and allows Guix to check the
- integrity of the file. The @code{(base32 @dots{})} form introduces the
- base32 representation of the hash. You can obtain this information with
- @code{guix download} (@pxref{Invoking guix download}) and @code{guix
- hash} (@pxref{Invoking guix hash}).
- @cindex patches
- When needed, the @code{origin} form can also have a @code{patches} field
- listing patches to be applied, and a @code{snippet} field giving a
- Scheme expression to modify the source code.
- @item
- @cindex GNU Build System
- The @code{build-system} field specifies the procedure to build the
- package (@pxref{Build Systems}). Here, @code{gnu-build-system}
- represents the familiar GNU Build System, where packages may be
- configured, built, and installed with the usual @code{./configure &&
- make && make check && make install} command sequence.
- When you start packaging non-trivial software, you may need tools to
- manipulate those build phases, manipulate files, and so on. @xref{Build
- Utilities}, for more on this.
- @item
- The @code{arguments} field specifies options for the build system
- (@pxref{Build Systems}). Here it is interpreted by
- @code{gnu-build-system} as a request run @file{configure} with the
- @option{--enable-silent-rules} flag.
- @cindex quote
- @cindex quoting
- @findex '
- @findex quote
- What about these quote (@code{'}) characters? They are Scheme syntax to
- introduce a literal list; @code{'} is synonymous with @code{quote}.
- @xref{Expression Syntax, quoting,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual},
- for details. Here the value of the @code{arguments} field is a list of
- arguments passed to the build system down the road, as with @code{apply}
- (@pxref{Fly Evaluation, @code{apply},, guile, GNU Guile Reference
- Manual}).
- The hash-colon (@code{#:}) sequence defines a Scheme @dfn{keyword}
- (@pxref{Keywords,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}), and
- @code{#:configure-flags} is a keyword used to pass a keyword argument
- to the build system (@pxref{Coding With Keywords,,, guile, GNU Guile
- Reference Manual}).
- @item
- The @code{inputs} field specifies inputs to the build process---i.e.,
- build-time or run-time dependencies of the package. Here, we define an
- input called @code{"gawk"} whose value is that of the @code{gawk}
- variable; @code{gawk} is itself bound to a @code{<package>} object.
- @cindex backquote (quasiquote)
- @findex `
- @findex quasiquote
- @cindex comma (unquote)
- @findex ,
- @findex unquote
- @findex ,@@
- @findex unquote-splicing
- Again, @code{`} (a backquote, synonymous with @code{quasiquote}) allows
- us to introduce a literal list in the @code{inputs} field, while
- @code{,} (a comma, synonymous with @code{unquote}) allows us to insert a
- value in that list (@pxref{Expression Syntax, unquote,, guile, GNU Guile
- Reference Manual}).
- Note that GCC, Coreutils, Bash, and other essential tools do not need to
- be specified as inputs here. Instead, @code{gnu-build-system} takes care
- of ensuring that they are present (@pxref{Build Systems}).
- However, any other dependencies need to be specified in the
- @code{inputs} field. Any dependency not specified here will simply be
- unavailable to the build process, possibly leading to a build failure.
- @end itemize
- @xref{package Reference}, for a full description of possible fields.
- Once a package definition is in place, the
- package may actually be built using the @code{guix build} command-line
- tool (@pxref{Invoking guix build}), troubleshooting any build failures
- you encounter (@pxref{Debugging Build Failures}). You can easily jump back to the
- package definition using the @command{guix edit} command
- (@pxref{Invoking guix edit}).
- @xref{Packaging Guidelines}, for
- more information on how to test package definitions, and
- @ref{Invoking guix lint}, for information on how to check a definition
- for style conformance.
- @vindex GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
- Lastly, @pxref{Channels}, for information
- on how to extend the distribution by adding your own package definitions
- in a ``channel''.
- Finally, updating the package definition to a new upstream version
- can be partly automated by the @command{guix refresh} command
- (@pxref{Invoking guix refresh}).
- Behind the scenes, a derivation corresponding to the @code{<package>}
- object is first computed by the @code{package-derivation} procedure.
- That derivation is stored in a @file{.drv} file under @file{/gnu/store}.
- The build actions it prescribes may then be realized by using the
- @code{build-derivations} procedure (@pxref{The Store}).
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-derivation @var{store} @var{package} [@var{system}]
- Return the @code{<derivation>} object of @var{package} for @var{system}
- (@pxref{Derivations}).
- @var{package} must be a valid @code{<package>} object, and @var{system}
- must be a string denoting the target system type---e.g.,
- @code{"x86_64-linux"} for an x86_64 Linux-based GNU system. @var{store}
- must be a connection to the daemon, which operates on the store
- (@pxref{The Store}).
- @end deffn
- @noindent
- @cindex cross-compilation
- Similarly, it is possible to compute a derivation that cross-builds a
- package for some other system:
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-cross-derivation @var{store} @
- @var{package} @var{target} [@var{system}]
- Return the @code{<derivation>} object of @var{package} cross-built from
- @var{system} to @var{target}.
- @var{target} must be a valid GNU triplet denoting the target hardware
- and operating system, such as @code{"aarch64-linux-gnu"}
- (@pxref{Specifying Target Triplets,,, autoconf, Autoconf}).
- @end deffn
- Once you have package definitions, you can easily define @emph{variants}
- of those packages. @xref{Defining Package Variants}, for more on that.
- @menu
- * package Reference:: The package data type.
- * origin Reference:: The origin data type.
- @end menu
- @node package Reference
- @subsection @code{package} Reference
- This section summarizes all the options available in @code{package}
- declarations (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
- @deftp {Data Type} package
- This is the data type representing a package recipe.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- The name of the package, as a string.
- @item @code{version}
- The version of the package, as a string.
- @item @code{source}
- An object telling how the source code for the package should be
- acquired. Most of the time, this is an @code{origin} object, which
- denotes a file fetched from the Internet (@pxref{origin Reference}). It
- can also be any other ``file-like'' object such as a @code{local-file},
- which denotes a file from the local file system (@pxref{G-Expressions,
- @code{local-file}}).
- @item @code{build-system}
- The build system that should be used to build the package (@pxref{Build
- Systems}).
- @item @code{arguments} (default: @code{'()})
- The arguments that should be passed to the build system. This is a
- list, typically containing sequential keyword-value pairs.
- @item @code{inputs} (default: @code{'()})
- @itemx @code{native-inputs} (default: @code{'()})
- @itemx @code{propagated-inputs} (default: @code{'()})
- @cindex inputs, of packages
- These fields list dependencies of the package. Each one is a list of
- tuples, where each tuple has a label for the input (a string) as its
- first element, a package, origin, or derivation as its second element,
- and optionally the name of the output thereof that should be used, which
- defaults to @code{"out"} (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}, for
- more on package outputs). For example, the list below specifies three
- inputs:
- @lisp
- `(("libffi" ,libffi)
- ("libunistring" ,libunistring)
- ("glib:bin" ,glib "bin")) ;the "bin" output of Glib
- @end lisp
- @cindex cross compilation, package dependencies
- The distinction between @code{native-inputs} and @code{inputs} is
- necessary when considering cross-compilation. When cross-compiling,
- dependencies listed in @code{inputs} are built for the @emph{target}
- architecture; conversely, dependencies listed in @code{native-inputs}
- are built for the architecture of the @emph{build} machine.
- @code{native-inputs} is typically used to list tools needed at
- build time, but not at run time, such as Autoconf, Automake, pkg-config,
- Gettext, or Bison. @command{guix lint} can report likely mistakes in
- this area (@pxref{Invoking guix lint}).
- @anchor{package-propagated-inputs}
- Lastly, @code{propagated-inputs} is similar to @code{inputs}, but the
- specified packages will be automatically installed to profiles
- (@pxref{Features, the role of profiles in Guix}) alongside the package
- they belong to (@pxref{package-cmd-propagated-inputs, @command{guix
- package}}, for information on how @command{guix package} deals with
- propagated inputs).
- For example this is necessary when packaging a C/C++ library that needs
- headers of another library to compile, or when a pkg-config file refers
- to another one @i{via} its @code{Requires} field.
- Another example where @code{propagated-inputs} is useful is for languages
- that lack a facility to record the run-time search path akin to the
- @code{RUNPATH} of ELF files; this includes Guile, Python, Perl, and
- more. When packaging libraries written in those languages, ensure they
- can find library code they depend on at run time by listing run-time
- dependencies in @code{propagated-inputs} rather than @code{inputs}.
- @item @code{outputs} (default: @code{'("out")})
- The list of output names of the package. @xref{Packages with Multiple
- Outputs}, for typical uses of additional outputs.
- @item @code{native-search-paths} (default: @code{'()})
- @itemx @code{search-paths} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of @code{search-path-specification} objects describing
- search-path environment variables honored by the package.
- @item @code{replacement} (default: @code{#f})
- This must be either @code{#f} or a package object that will be used as a
- @dfn{replacement} for this package. @xref{Security Updates, grafts},
- for details.
- @item @code{synopsis}
- A one-line description of the package.
- @item @code{description}
- A more elaborate description of the package.
- @item @code{license}
- @cindex license, of packages
- The license of the package; a value from @code{(guix licenses)},
- or a list of such values.
- @item @code{home-page}
- The URL to the home-page of the package, as a string.
- @item @code{supported-systems} (default: @code{%supported-systems})
- The list of systems supported by the package, as strings of the form
- @code{architecture-kernel}, for example @code{"x86_64-linux"}.
- @item @code{location} (default: source location of the @code{package} form)
- The source location of the package. It is useful to override this when
- inheriting from another package, in which case this field is not
- automatically corrected.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} this-package
- When used in the @emph{lexical scope} of a package field definition, this
- identifier resolves to the package being defined.
- The example below shows how to add a package as a native input of itself when
- cross-compiling:
- @lisp
- (package
- (name "guile")
- ;; ...
- ;; When cross-compiled, Guile, for example, depends on
- ;; a native version of itself. Add it here.
- (native-inputs (if (%current-target-system)
- `(("self" ,this-package))
- '())))
- @end lisp
- It is an error to refer to @code{this-package} outside a package definition.
- @end deffn
- Because packages are regular Scheme objects that capture a complete
- dependency graph and associated build procedures, it is often useful to
- write procedures that take a package and return a modified version
- thereof according to some parameters. Below are a few examples.
- @cindex tool chain, choosing a package's tool chain
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-with-c-toolchain @var{package} @var{toolchain}
- Return a variant of @var{package} that uses @var{toolchain} instead of
- the default GNU C/C++ toolchain. @var{toolchain} must be a list of
- inputs (label/package tuples) providing equivalent functionality, such
- as the @code{gcc-toolchain} package.
- The example below returns a variant of the @code{hello} package built
- with GCC@tie{}10.x and the rest of the GNU tool chain (Binutils and the
- GNU C Library) instead of the default tool chain:
- @lisp
- (let ((toolchain (specification->package "gcc-toolchain@@10")))
- (package-with-c-toolchain hello `(("toolchain" ,toolchain))))
- @end lisp
- The build tool chain is part of the @dfn{implicit inputs} of
- packages---it's usually not listed as part of the various ``inputs''
- fields and is instead pulled in by the build system. Consequently, this
- procedure works by changing the build system of @var{package} so that it
- pulls in @var{toolchain} instead of the defaults. @ref{Build Systems},
- for more on build systems.
- @end deffn
- @node origin Reference
- @subsection @code{origin} Reference
- This section documents @dfn{origins}. An @code{origin} declaration
- specifies data that must be ``produced''---downloaded, usually---and
- whose content hash is known in advance. Origins are primarily used to
- represent the source code of packages (@pxref{Defining Packages}). For
- that reason, the @code{origin} form allows you to declare patches to
- apply to the original source code as well as code snippets to modify it.
- @deftp {Data Type} origin
- This is the data type representing a source code origin.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{uri}
- An object containing the URI of the source. The object type depends on
- the @code{method} (see below). For example, when using the
- @var{url-fetch} method of @code{(guix download)}, the valid @code{uri}
- values are: a URL represented as a string, or a list thereof.
- @cindex fixed-output derivations, for download
- @item @code{method}
- A monadic procedure that handles the given URI@. The procedure must
- accept at least three arguments: the value of the @code{uri} field and
- the hash algorithm and hash value specified by the @code{hash} field.
- It must return a store item or a derivation in the store monad
- (@pxref{The Store Monad}); most methods return a fixed-output derivation
- (@pxref{Derivations}).
- Commonly used methods include @code{url-fetch}, which fetches data from
- a URL, and @code{git-fetch}, which fetches data from a Git repository
- (see below).
- @item @code{sha256}
- A bytevector containing the SHA-256 hash of the source. This is
- equivalent to providing a @code{content-hash} SHA256 object in the
- @code{hash} field described below.
- @item @code{hash}
- The @code{content-hash} object of the source---see below for how to use
- @code{content-hash}.
- You can obtain this information using @code{guix download}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix download}) or @code{guix hash} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix hash}).
- @item @code{file-name} (default: @code{#f})
- The file name under which the source code should be saved. When this is
- @code{#f}, a sensible default value will be used in most cases. In case
- the source is fetched from a URL, the file name from the URL will be
- used. For version control checkouts, it is recommended to provide the
- file name explicitly because the default is not very descriptive.
- @item @code{patches} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of file names, origins, or file-like objects (@pxref{G-Expressions,
- file-like objects}) pointing to patches to be applied to the source.
- This list of patches must be unconditional. In particular, it cannot
- depend on the value of @code{%current-system} or
- @code{%current-target-system}.
- @item @code{snippet} (default: @code{#f})
- A G-expression (@pxref{G-Expressions}) or S-expression that will be run
- in the source directory. This is a convenient way to modify the source,
- sometimes more convenient than a patch.
- @item @code{patch-flags} (default: @code{'("-p1")})
- A list of command-line flags that should be passed to the @code{patch}
- command.
- @item @code{patch-inputs} (default: @code{#f})
- Input packages or derivations to the patching process. When this is
- @code{#f}, the usual set of inputs necessary for patching are provided,
- such as GNU@tie{}Patch.
- @item @code{modules} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of Guile modules that should be loaded during the patching
- process and while running the code in the @code{snippet} field.
- @item @code{patch-guile} (default: @code{#f})
- The Guile package that should be used in the patching process. When
- this is @code{#f}, a sensible default is used.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} content-hash @var{value} [@var{algorithm}]
- Construct a content hash object for the given @var{algorithm}, and with
- @var{value} as its hash value. When @var{algorithm} is omitted, assume
- it is @code{sha256}.
- @var{value} can be a literal string, in which case it is base32-decoded,
- or it can be a bytevector.
- The following forms are all equivalent:
- @lisp
- (content-hash "05zxkyz9bv3j9h0xyid1rhvh3klhsmrpkf3bcs6frvlgyr2gwilj")
- (content-hash "05zxkyz9bv3j9h0xyid1rhvh3klhsmrpkf3bcs6frvlgyr2gwilj"
- sha256)

- to have hash @var{hash} of type @var{hash-algo} (a symbol). By default,
- the file name is the base name of URL; optionally, @var{name} can
- specify a different file name. When @var{executable?} is true, make the
- downloaded file executable.
- When one of the URL starts with @code{mirror://}, then its host part is
- interpreted as the name of a mirror scheme, taken from @file{%mirror-file}.
- Alternatively, when URL starts with @code{file://}, return the
- corresponding file name in the store.
- @end deffn
- Likewise, the @code{(guix git-download)} module defines the
- @code{git-fetch} origin method, which fetches data from a Git version
- control repository, and the @code{git-reference} data type to describe
- the repository and revision to fetch.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} git-fetch @var{ref} @var{hash-algo} @var{hash}
- Return a fixed-output derivation that fetches @var{ref}, a
- @code{<git-reference>} object. The output is expected to have recursive
- hash @var{hash} of type @var{hash-algo} (a symbol). Use @var{name} as

- @node Defining Package Variants
- @section Defining Package Variants
- @cindex customizing packages
- @cindex variants, of packages
- One of the nice things with Guix is that, given a package definition,
- you can easily @emph{derive} variants of that package---for a different
- upstream version, with different dependencies, different compilation
- options, and so on. Some of these custom packages can be defined
- straight from the command line (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}).
- This section describes how to define package variants in code. This can
- be useful in ``manifests'' (@pxref{profile-manifest,
- @option{--manifest}}) and in your own package collection
- (@pxref{Creating a Channel}), among others!
- @cindex inherit, for package definitions
- As discussed earlier, packages are first-class objects in the Scheme
- language. The @code{(guix packages)} module provides the @code{package}
- construct to define new package objects (@pxref{package Reference}).
- The easiest way to define a package variant is using the @code{inherit}
- keyword together with @code{package}. This allows you to inherit from a
- package definition while overriding the fields you want.
- For example, given the @code{hello} variable, which contains a
- definition for the current version of GNU@tie{}Hello, here's how you
- would define a variant for version 2.2 (released in 2006, it's
- vintage!):
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu packages base)) ;for 'hello'
- (define hello-2.2
- (package
- (inherit hello)
- (version "2.2")
- (source (origin
- (method url-fetch)
- (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-" version
- ".tar.gz"))
- (sha256
- (base32
- "0lappv4slgb5spyqbh6yl5r013zv72yqg2pcl30mginf3wdqd8k9"))))))
- @end lisp
- The example above corresponds to what the @option{--with-source} package
- transformation option does. Essentially @code{hello-2.2} preserves all
- the fields of @code{hello}, except @code{version} and @code{source},
- which it overrides. Note that the original @code{hello} variable is
- still there, in the @code{(gnu packages base)} module, unchanged. When
- you define a custom package like this, you are really @emph{adding} a
- new package definition; the original one remains available.
- You can just as well define variants with a different set of
- dependencies than the original package. For example, the default
- @code{gdb} package depends on @code{guile}, but since that is an
- optional dependency, you can define a variant that removes that
- dependency like so:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu packages gdb) ;for 'gdb'
- (srfi srfi-1)) ;for 'alist-delete'
- (define gdb-sans-guile
- (package
- (inherit gdb)
- (inputs (alist-delete "guile"
- (package-inputs gdb)))))
- @end lisp
- The @code{alist-delete} call above removes the tuple from the
- @code{inputs} field that has @code{"guile"} as its first element
- (@pxref{SRFI-1 Association Lists,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference
- Manual}).
- In some cases, you may find it useful to write functions
- (``procedures'', in Scheme parlance) that return a package based on some
- parameters. For example, consider the @code{luasocket} library for the
- Lua programming language. We want to create @code{luasocket} packages
- for major versions of Lua. One way to do that is to define a procedure
- that takes a Lua package and returns a @code{luasocket} package that
- depends on it:
- @lisp
- (define (make-lua-socket name lua)
- ;; Return a luasocket package built with LUA.
- (package
- (name name)
- (version "3.0")
- ;; several fields omitted
- (inputs
- `(("lua" ,lua)))
- (synopsis "Socket library for Lua")))
- (define-public lua5.1-socket
- (make-lua-socket "lua5.1-socket" lua-5.1))
- (define-public lua5.2-socket
- (make-lua-socket "lua5.2-socket" lua-5.2))
- @end lisp
- Here we have defined packages @code{lua5.1-socket} and
- @code{lua5.2-socket} by calling @code{make-lua-socket} with different
- arguments. @xref{Procedures,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}, for
- more info on procedures. Having top-level public definitions for these
- two packages means that they can be referred to from the command line
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- @cindex package transformations
- These are pretty simple package variants. As a convenience, the
- @code{(guix transformations)} module provides a high-level interface
- that directly maps to the more sophisticated package transformation
- options (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}):
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} options->transformation @var{opts}
- Return a procedure that, when passed an object to build (package,
- derivation, etc.), applies the transformations specified by @var{opts} and returns
- the resulting objects. @var{opts} must be a list of symbol/string pairs such as:
- @lisp
- ((with-branch . "guile-gcrypt=master")
- (without-tests . "libgcrypt"))
- @end lisp
- Each symbol names a transformation and the corresponding string is an argument
- to that transformation.
- @end deffn
- For instance, a manifest equivalent to this command:
- @example
- guix build guix \
- --with-branch=guile-gcrypt=master \
- --with-debug-info=zlib
- @end example
- @noindent
- ... would look like this:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix transformations))
- (define transform
- ;; The package transformation procedure.
- (options->transformation
- '((with-branch . "guile-gcrypt=master")
- (with-debug-info . "zlib"))))
- (packages->manifest
- (list (transform (specification->package "guix"))))
- @end lisp
- @cindex input rewriting
- @cindex dependency graph rewriting
- The @code{options->transformation} procedure is convenient, but it's
- perhaps also not as flexible as you may like. How is it implemented?
- The astute reader probably noticed that most package transformation
- options go beyond the superficial changes shown in the first examples of
- this section: they involve @dfn{input rewriting}, whereby the dependency
- graph of a package is rewritten by replacing specific inputs by others.
- Dependency graph rewriting, for the purposes of swapping packages in the
- graph, is what the @code{package-input-rewriting} procedure in
- @code{(guix packages)} implements.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-input-rewriting @var{replacements} @
- [@var{rewrite-name}] [#:deep? #t]
- Return a procedure that, when passed a package, replaces its direct and
- indirect dependencies, including implicit inputs when @var{deep?} is
- true, according to @var{replacements}. @var{replacements} is a list of
- package pairs; the first element of each pair is the package to replace,
- and the second one is the replacement.
- Optionally, @var{rewrite-name} is a one-argument procedure that takes
- the name of a package and returns its new name after rewrite.
- @end deffn
- @noindent
- Consider this example:
- @lisp
- (define libressl-instead-of-openssl
- ;; This is a procedure to replace OPENSSL by LIBRESSL,
- ;; recursively.
- (package-input-rewriting `((,openssl . ,libressl))))
- (define git-with-libressl
- (libressl-instead-of-openssl git))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- Here we first define a rewriting procedure that replaces @var{openssl}
- with @var{libressl}. Then we use it to define a @dfn{variant} of the
- @var{git} package that uses @var{libressl} instead of @var{openssl}.
- This is exactly what the @option{--with-input} command-line option does
- (@pxref{Package Transformation Options, @option{--with-input}}).
- The following variant of @code{package-input-rewriting} can match packages to
- be replaced by name rather than by identity.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-input-rewriting/spec @var{replacements} [#:deep? #t]
- Return a procedure that, given a package, applies the given
- @var{replacements} to all the package graph, including implicit inputs
- unless @var{deep?} is false. @var{replacements} is a list of
- spec/procedures pair; each spec is a package specification such as
- @code{"gcc"} or @code{"guile@@2"}, and each procedure takes a matching
- package and returns a replacement for that package.
- @end deffn
- The example above could be rewritten this way:
- @lisp
- (define libressl-instead-of-openssl
- ;; Replace all the packages called "openssl" with LibreSSL.
- (package-input-rewriting/spec `(("openssl" . ,(const libressl)))))
- @end lisp
- The key difference here is that, this time, packages are matched by spec and
- not by identity. In other words, any package in the graph that is called
- @code{openssl} will be replaced.
- A more generic procedure to rewrite a package dependency graph is
- @code{package-mapping}: it supports arbitrary changes to nodes in the
- graph.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-mapping @var{proc} [@var{cut?}] [#:deep? #f]
- Return a procedure that, given a package, applies @var{proc} to all the packages
- depended on and returns the resulting package. The procedure stops recursion
- when @var{cut?} returns true for a given package. When @var{deep?} is true, @var{proc} is
- applied to implicit inputs as well.
- @end deffn
- @node Build Systems
- @section Build Systems
- @cindex build system
- Each package definition specifies a @dfn{build system} and arguments for
- that build system (@pxref{Defining Packages}). This @code{build-system}
- field represents the build procedure of the package, as well as implicit
- dependencies of that build procedure.
- Build systems are @code{<build-system>} objects. The interface to
- create and manipulate them is provided by the @code{(guix build-system)}
- module, and actual build systems are exported by specific modules.
- @cindex bag (low-level package representation)
- Under the hood, build systems first compile package objects to
- @dfn{bags}. A @dfn{bag} is like a package, but with less
- ornamentation---in other words, a bag is a lower-level representation of
- a package, which includes all the inputs of that package, including some
- that were implicitly added by the build system. This intermediate
- representation is then compiled to a derivation (@pxref{Derivations}).
- The @code{package-with-c-toolchain} is an example of a way to change the
- implicit inputs that a package's build system pulls in (@pxref{package
- Reference, @code{package-with-c-toolchain}}).
- Build systems accept an optional list of @dfn{arguments}. In package
- definitions, these are passed @i{via} the @code{arguments} field
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}). They are typically keyword arguments
- (@pxref{Optional Arguments, keyword arguments in Guile,, guile, GNU
- Guile Reference Manual}). The value of these arguments is usually
- evaluated in the @dfn{build stratum}---i.e., by a Guile process launched
- by the daemon (@pxref{Derivations}).
- The main build system is @code{gnu-build-system}, which implements the
- standard build procedure for GNU and many other packages. It
- is provided by the @code{(guix build-system gnu)} module.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} gnu-build-system
- @code{gnu-build-system} represents the GNU Build System, and variants
- thereof (@pxref{Configuration, configuration and makefile conventions,,
- standards, GNU Coding Standards}).
- @cindex build phases
- In a nutshell, packages using it are configured, built, and installed with
- the usual @code{./configure && make && make check && make install}
- command sequence. In practice, a few additional steps are often needed.
- All these steps are split up in separate @dfn{phases},
- notably@footnote{Please see the @code{(guix build gnu-build-system)}
- modules for more details about the build phases.}:
- @table @code
- @item unpack
- Unpack the source tarball, and change the current directory to the
- extracted source tree. If the source is actually a directory, copy it
- to the build tree, and enter that directory.
- @item patch-source-shebangs
- Patch shebangs encountered in source files so they refer to the right
- store file names. For instance, this changes @code{#!/bin/sh} to
- @code{#!/gnu/store/@dots{}-bash-4.3/bin/sh}.
- @item configure
- Run the @file{configure} script with a number of default options, such
- as @option{--prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}}, as well as the options specified
- by the @code{#:configure-flags} argument.
- @item build
- Run @code{make} with the list of flags specified with
- @code{#:make-flags}. If the @code{#:parallel-build?} argument is true
- (the default), build with @code{make -j}.
- @item check
- Run @code{make check}, or some other target specified with
- @code{#:test-target}, unless @code{#:tests? #f} is passed. If the
- @code{#:parallel-tests?} argument is true (the default), run @code{make
- check -j}.
- @item install
- Run @code{make install} with the flags listed in @code{#:make-flags}.
- @item patch-shebangs
- Patch shebangs on the installed executable files.
- @item strip
- Strip debugging symbols from ELF files (unless @code{#:strip-binaries?}
- is false), copying them to the @code{debug} output when available
- (@pxref{Installing Debugging Files}).
- @end table
- @vindex %standard-phases
- The build-side module @code{(guix build gnu-build-system)} defines
- @code{%standard-phases} as the default list of build phases.
- @code{%standard-phases} is a list of symbol/procedure pairs, where the
- procedure implements the actual phase.
- @xref{Build Phases}, for more info on build phases and ways to customize
- them.
- In addition, this build system ensures that the ``standard'' environment
- for GNU packages is available. This includes tools such as GCC, libc,
- Coreutils, Bash, Make, Diffutils, grep, and sed (see the @code{(guix
- build-system gnu)} module for a complete list). We call these the
- @dfn{implicit inputs} of a package, because package definitions do not
- have to mention them.
- @end defvr
- Other @code{<build-system>} objects are defined to support other
- conventions and tools used by free software packages. They inherit most
- of @code{gnu-build-system}, and differ mainly in the set of inputs
- implicitly added to the build process, and in the list of phases
- executed. Some of these build systems are listed below.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} ant-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system ant)}. It
- implements the build procedure for Java packages that can be built with
- @url{https://ant.apache.org/, Ant build tool}.
- It adds both @code{ant} and the @dfn{Java Development Kit} (JDK) as
- provided by the @code{icedtea} package to the set of inputs. Different
- packages can be specified with the @code{#:ant} and @code{#:jdk}
- parameters, respectively.
- When the original package does not provide a suitable Ant build file,
- the parameter @code{#:jar-name} can be used to generate a minimal Ant
- build file @file{build.xml} with tasks to build the specified jar
- archive. In this case the parameter @code{#:source-dir} can be used to
- specify the source sub-directory, defaulting to ``src''.
- The @code{#:main-class} parameter can be used with the minimal ant
- buildfile to specify the main class of the resulting jar. This makes the
- jar file executable. The @code{#:test-include} parameter can be used to
- specify the list of junit tests to run. It defaults to
- @code{(list "**/*Test.java")}. The @code{#:test-exclude} can be used to
- disable some tests. It defaults to @code{(list "**/Abstract*.java")},
- because abstract classes cannot be run as tests.
- The parameter @code{#:build-target} can be used to specify the Ant task
- that should be run during the @code{build} phase. By default the
- ``jar'' task will be run.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} android-ndk-build-system
- @cindex Android distribution
- @cindex Android NDK build system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system android-ndk)}. It
- implements a build procedure for Android NDK (native development kit)
- packages using a Guix-specific build process.
- The build system assumes that packages install their public interface
- (header) files to the subdirectory @file{include} of the @code{out} output and
- their libraries to the subdirectory @file{lib} the @code{out} output.
- It's also assumed that the union of all the dependencies of a package
- has no conflicting files.
- For the time being, cross-compilation is not supported - so right now
- the libraries and header files are assumed to be host tools.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} asdf-build-system/source
- @defvrx {Scheme Variable} asdf-build-system/sbcl
- @defvrx {Scheme Variable} asdf-build-system/ecl
- These variables, exported by @code{(guix build-system asdf)}, implement
- build procedures for Common Lisp packages using
- @url{https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/, ``ASDF''}. ASDF is a system
- definition facility for Common Lisp programs and libraries.
- The @code{asdf-build-system/source} system installs the packages in
- source form, and can be loaded using any common lisp implementation, via
- ASDF@. The others, such as @code{asdf-build-system/sbcl}, install binary
- systems in the format which a particular implementation understands.
- These build systems can also be used to produce executable programs, or
- lisp images which contain a set of packages pre-loaded.
- The build system uses naming conventions. For binary packages, the
- package name should be prefixed with the lisp implementation, such as
- @code{sbcl-} for @code{asdf-build-system/sbcl}.
- Additionally, the corresponding source package should be labeled using
- the same convention as python packages (see @ref{Python Modules}), using
- the @code{cl-} prefix.
- In order to create executable programs and images, the build-side
- procedures @code{build-program} and @code{build-image} can be used.
- They should be called in a build phase after the
- @code{create-asdf-configuration} phase, so that the system which was
- just built can be used within the resulting image. @code{build-program}
- requires a list of Common Lisp expressions to be passed as the
- @code{#:entry-program} argument.
- By default, all the @file{.asd} files present in the sources are read to
- find system definitions. The @code{#:asd-files} parameter can be used
- to specify the list of @file{.asd} files to read. Furthermore, if the
- package defines a system for its tests in a separate file, it will be
- loaded before the tests are run if it is specified by the
- @code{#:test-asd-file} parameter. If it is not set, the files
- @code{<system>-tests.asd}, @code{<system>-test.asd}, @code{tests.asd},
- and @code{test.asd} will be tried if they exist.
- If for some reason the package must be named in a different way than the
- naming conventions suggest, or if several systems must be compiled, the
- @code{#:asd-systems} parameter can be used to specify the list of system
- names.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} cargo-build-system
- @cindex Rust programming language
- @cindex Cargo (Rust build system)
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system cargo)}. It
- supports builds of packages using Cargo, the build tool of the
- @uref{https://www.rust-lang.org, Rust programming language}.
- It adds @code{rustc} and @code{cargo} to the set of inputs.
- A different Rust package can be specified with the @code{#:rust} parameter.
- Regular cargo dependencies should be added to the package definition via the
- @code{#:cargo-inputs} parameter as a list of name and spec pairs, where the
- spec can be a package or a source definition. Note that the spec must
- evaluate to a path to a gzipped tarball which includes a @code{Cargo.toml}
- file at its root, or it will be ignored. Similarly, cargo dev-dependencies
- should be added to the package definition via the
- @code{#:cargo-development-inputs} parameter.
- In its @code{configure} phase, this build system will make any source inputs
- specified in the @code{#:cargo-inputs} and @code{#:cargo-development-inputs}
- parameters available to cargo. It will also remove an included
- @code{Cargo.lock} file to be recreated by @code{cargo} during the
- @code{build} phase. The @code{install} phase installs the binaries
- defined by the crate.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} chicken-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system chicken)}. It
- builds @uref{https://call-cc.org/, CHICKEN Scheme} modules, also called
- ``eggs'' or ``extensions''. CHICKEN generates C source code, which then
- gets compiled by a C compiler, in this case GCC.
- This build system adds @code{chicken} to the package inputs, as well as
- the packages of @code{gnu-build-system}.
- The build system can't (yet) deduce the egg's name automatically, so just like
- with @code{go-build-system} and its @code{#:import-path}, you should define
- @code{#:egg-name} in the package's @code{arguments} field.
- For example, if you are packaging the @code{srfi-1} egg:
- @lisp
- (arguments '(#:egg-name "srfi-1"))
- @end lisp
- Egg dependencies must be defined in @code{propagated-inputs}, not @code{inputs}
- because CHICKEN doesn't embed absolute references in compiled eggs.
- Test dependencies should go to @code{native-inputs}, as usual.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} copy-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system copy)}. It
- supports builds of simple packages that don't require much compiling,
- mostly just moving files around.
- It adds much of the @code{gnu-build-system} packages to the set of
- inputs. Because of this, the @code{copy-build-system} does not require
- all the boilerplate code often needed for the
- @code{trivial-build-system}.
- To further simplify the file installation process, an
- @code{#:install-plan} argument is exposed to let the packager specify
- which files go where. The install plan is a list of @code{(@var{source}
- @var{target} [@var{filters}])}. @var{filters} are optional.
- @itemize
- @item When @var{source} matches a file or directory without trailing slash, install it to @var{target}.
- @itemize
- @item If @var{target} has a trailing slash, install @var{source} basename beneath @var{target}.
- @item Otherwise install @var{source} as @var{target}.
- @end itemize
- @item When @var{source} is a directory with a trailing slash, or when @var{filters} are used,
- the trailing slash of @var{target} is implied with the same meaning
- as above.
- @itemize
- @item Without @var{filters}, install the full @var{source} @emph{content} to @var{target}.
- @item With @var{filters} among @code{#:include}, @code{#:include-regexp}, @code{#:exclude},
- @code{#:exclude-regexp}, only select files are installed depending on
- the filters. Each filters is specified by a list of strings.
- @itemize
- @item With @code{#:include}, install all the files which the path suffix matches
- at least one of the elements in the given list.
- @item With @code{#:include-regexp}, install all the files which the
- subpaths match at least one of the regular expressions in the given
- list.
- @item The @code{#:exclude} and @code{#:exclude-regexp} filters
- are the complement of their inclusion counterpart. Without @code{#:include} flags,
- install all files but those matching the exclusion filters.
- If both inclusions and exclusions are specified, the exclusions are done
- on top of the inclusions.
- @end itemize
- @end itemize
- In all cases, the paths relative to @var{source} are preserved within
- @var{target}.
- @end itemize
- Examples:
- @itemize
- @item @code{("foo/bar" "share/my-app/")}: Install @file{bar} to @file{share/my-app/bar}.
- @item @code{("foo/bar" "share/my-app/baz")}: Install @file{bar} to @file{share/my-app/baz}.
- @item @code{("foo/" "share/my-app")}: Install the content of @file{foo} inside @file{share/my-app},
- e.g., install @file{foo/sub/file} to @file{share/my-app/sub/file}.
- @item @code{("foo/" "share/my-app" #:include ("sub/file"))}: Install only @file{foo/sub/file} to
- @file{share/my-app/sub/file}.
- @item @code{("foo/sub" "share/my-app" #:include ("file"))}: Install @file{foo/sub/file} to
- @file{share/my-app/file}.

- @cindex Clojure (programming language)
- @cindex simple Clojure build system
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} clojure-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system clojure)}. It implements
- a simple build procedure for @uref{https://clojure.org/, Clojure} packages
- using plain old @code{compile} in Clojure. Cross-compilation is not supported
- yet.
- It adds @code{clojure}, @code{icedtea} and @code{zip} to the set of inputs.
- Different packages can be specified with the @code{#:clojure}, @code{#:jdk} and
- @code{#:zip} parameters, respectively.
- A list of source directories, test directories and jar names can be specified
- with the @code{#:source-dirs}, @code{#:test-dirs} and @code{#:jar-names}
- parameters, respectively. Compile directory and main class can be specified
- with the @code{#:compile-dir} and @code{#:main-class} parameters, respectively.
- Other parameters are documented below.
- This build system is an extension of @code{ant-build-system}, but with the
- following phases changed:
- @table @code
- @item build
- This phase calls @code{compile} in Clojure to compile source files and runs
- @command{jar} to create jars from both source files and compiled files
- according to the include list and exclude list specified in
- @code{#:aot-include} and @code{#:aot-exclude}, respectively. The exclude list
- has priority over the include list. These lists consist of symbols
- representing Clojure libraries or the special keyword @code{#:all} representing
- all Clojure libraries found under the source directories. The parameter
- @code{#:omit-source?} decides if source should be included into the jars.
- @item check
- This phase runs tests according to the include list and exclude list specified
- in @code{#:test-include} and @code{#:test-exclude}, respectively. Their
- meanings are analogous to that of @code{#:aot-include} and
- @code{#:aot-exclude}, except that the special keyword @code{#:all} now
- stands for all Clojure libraries found under the test directories. The
- parameter @code{#:tests?} decides if tests should be run.
- @item install
- This phase installs all jars built previously.
- @end table
- Apart from the above, this build system also contains an additional phase:
- @table @code
- @item install-doc
- This phase installs all top-level files with base name matching
- @code{%doc-regex}. A different regex can be specified with the
- @code{#:doc-regex} parameter. All files (recursively) inside the documentation
- directories specified in @code{#:doc-dirs} are installed as well.
- @end table
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} cmake-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system cmake)}. It
- implements the build procedure for packages using the
- @url{https://www.cmake.org, CMake build tool}.
- It automatically adds the @code{cmake} package to the set of inputs.
- Which package is used can be specified with the @code{#:cmake}
- parameter.
- The @code{#:configure-flags} parameter is taken as a list of flags
- passed to the @command{cmake} command. The @code{#:build-type}
- parameter specifies in abstract terms the flags passed to the compiler;
- it defaults to @code{"RelWithDebInfo"} (short for ``release mode with
- debugging information''), which roughly means that code is compiled with
- @code{-O2 -g}, as is the case for Autoconf-based packages by default.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} dune-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system dune)}. It
- supports builds of packages using @uref{https://dune.build/, Dune}, a build
- tool for the OCaml programming language. It is implemented as an extension
- of the @code{ocaml-build-system} which is described below. As such, the
- @code{#:ocaml} and @code{#:findlib} parameters can be passed to this build
- system.
- It automatically adds the @code{dune} package to the set of inputs.
- Which package is used can be specified with the @code{#:dune}
- parameter.
- There is no @code{configure} phase because dune packages typically don't
- need to be configured. The @code{#:build-flags} parameter is taken as a
- list of flags passed to the @code{dune} command during the build.
- The @code{#:jbuild?} parameter can be passed to use the @code{jbuild}
- command instead of the more recent @code{dune} command while building
- a package. Its default value is @code{#f}.
- The @code{#:package} parameter can be passed to specify a package name, which
- is useful when a package contains multiple packages and you want to build
- only one of them. This is equivalent to passing the @code{-p} argument to
- @code{dune}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} go-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system go)}. It
- implements a build procedure for Go packages using the standard
- @url{https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Compile_packages_and_dependencies,
- Go build mechanisms}.
- The user is expected to provide a value for the key @code{#:import-path}
- and, in some cases, @code{#:unpack-path}. The
- @url{https://golang.org/doc/code.html#ImportPaths, import path}
- corresponds to the file system path expected by the package's build
- scripts and any referring packages, and provides a unique way to
- refer to a Go package. It is typically based on a combination of the
- package source code's remote URI and file system hierarchy structure. In
- some cases, you will need to unpack the package's source code to a
- different directory structure than the one indicated by the import path,
- and @code{#:unpack-path} should be used in such cases.
- Packages that provide Go libraries should install their source code into
- the built output. The key @code{#:install-source?}, which defaults to
- @code{#t}, controls whether or not the source code is installed. It can
- be set to @code{#f} for packages that only provide executable files.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} glib-or-gtk-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system glib-or-gtk)}. It
- is intended for use with packages making use of GLib or GTK+.
- This build system adds the following two phases to the ones defined by
- @code{gnu-build-system}:
- @table @code
- @item glib-or-gtk-wrap
- The phase @code{glib-or-gtk-wrap} ensures that programs in
- @file{bin/} are able to find GLib ``schemas'' and
- @uref{https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-running.html, GTK+
- modules}. This is achieved by wrapping the programs in launch scripts
- that appropriately set the @env{XDG_DATA_DIRS} and @env{GTK_PATH}
- environment variables.
- It is possible to exclude specific package outputs from that wrapping
- process by listing their names in the
- @code{#:glib-or-gtk-wrap-excluded-outputs} parameter. This is useful
- when an output is known not to contain any GLib or GTK+ binaries, and
- where wrapping would gratuitously add a dependency of that output on
- GLib and GTK+.
- @item glib-or-gtk-compile-schemas
- The phase @code{glib-or-gtk-compile-schemas} makes sure that all
- @uref{https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/glib-compile-schemas.html,
- GSettings schemas} of GLib are compiled. Compilation is performed by the
- @command{glib-compile-schemas} program. It is provided by the package
- @code{glib:bin} which is automatically imported by the build system.
- The @code{glib} package providing @command{glib-compile-schemas} can be
- specified with the @code{#:glib} parameter.
- @end table
- Both phases are executed after the @code{install} phase.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} guile-build-system
- This build system is for Guile packages that consist exclusively of Scheme
- code and that are so lean that they don't even have a makefile, let alone a
- @file{configure} script. It compiles Scheme code using @command{guild
- compile} (@pxref{Compilation,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}) and
- installs the @file{.scm} and @file{.go} files in the right place. It also
- installs documentation.
- This build system supports cross-compilation by using the
- @option{--target} option of @samp{guild compile}.
- Packages built with @code{guile-build-system} must provide a Guile package in
- their @code{native-inputs} field.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} julia-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system julia)}. It
- implements the build procedure used by @uref{https://julialang.org/,
- julia} packages, which essentially is similar to running @samp{julia -e
- 'using Pkg; Pkg.add(package)'} in an environment where
- @env{JULIA_LOAD_PATH} contains the paths to all Julia package inputs.
- Tests are run by calling @code{/test/runtests.jl}.
- The Julia package name is read from the file @file{Project.toml}. This
- value can be overridden by passing the argument @code{#:julia-file-name}
- (which must be correctly capitalized).
- For packages requiring shared library dependencies, you may need to write the
- @file{/deps/deps.jl} file manually. It's usually a line of @code{const
- variable = /gnu/store/library.so} for each dependency, plus a void function
- @code{check_deps() = nothing}.
- Some older packages that aren't using @file{Package.toml} yet, will require
- this file to be created, too. The function @code{julia-create-package-toml}
- helps creating the file. You need to pass the outputs and the source of the
- package, it's name (the same as the @code{file-name} parameter), the package
- uuid, the package version, and a list of dependencies specified by their name
- and their uuid.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} maven-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system maven)}. It implements
- a build procedure for @uref{https://maven.apache.org, Maven} packages. Maven
- is a dependency and lifecycle management tool for Java. A user of Maven
- specifies dependencies and plugins in a @file{pom.xml} file that Maven reads.
- When Maven does not have one of the dependencies or plugins in its repository,
- it will download them and use them to build the package.
- The maven build system ensures that maven will not try to download any
- dependency by running in offline mode. Maven will fail if a dependency is
- missing. Before running Maven, the @file{pom.xml} (and subprojects) are
- modified to specify the version of dependencies and plugins that match the
- versions available in the guix build environment. Dependencies and plugins
- must be installed in the fake maven repository at @file{lib/m2}, and are
- symlinked into a proper repository before maven is run. Maven is instructed
- to use that repository for the build and installs built artifacts there.
- Changed files are copied to the @file{lib/m2} directory of the package output.
- You can specify a @file{pom.xml} file with the @code{#:pom-file} argument,
- or let the build system use the default @file{pom.xml} file in the sources.
- In case you need to specify a dependency's version manually, you can use the
- @code{#:local-packages} argument. It takes an association list where the key
- is the groupId of the package and its value is an association list where the
- key is the artifactId of the package and its value is the version you want to
- override in the @file{pom.xml}.
- Some packages use dependencies or plugins that are not useful at runtime nor
- at build time in Guix. You can alter the @file{pom.xml} file to remove them
- using the @code{#:exclude} argument. Its value is an association list where
- the key is the groupId of the plugin or dependency you want to remove, and
- the value is a list of artifactId you want to remove.
- You can override the default @code{jdk} and @code{maven} packages with the
- corresponding argument, @code{#:jdk} and @code{#:maven}.
- The @code{#:maven-plugins} argument is a list of maven plugins used during
- the build, with the same format as the @code{inputs} fields of the package
- declaration. Its default value is @code{(default-maven-plugins)} which is
- also exported.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} minify-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system minify)}. It
- implements a minification procedure for simple JavaScript packages.
- It adds @code{uglify-js} to the set of inputs and uses it to compress
- all JavaScript files in the @file{src} directory. A different minifier
- package can be specified with the @code{#:uglify-js} parameter, but it
- is expected that the package writes the minified code to the standard
- output.
- When the input JavaScript files are not all located in the @file{src}
- directory, the parameter @code{#:javascript-files} can be used to
- specify a list of file names to feed to the minifier.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} ocaml-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system ocaml)}. It implements
- a build procedure for @uref{https://ocaml.org, OCaml} packages, which consists
- of choosing the correct set of commands to run for each package. OCaml
- packages can expect many different commands to be run. This build system will
- try some of them.
- When the package has a @file{setup.ml} file present at the top-level, it will
- run @code{ocaml setup.ml -configure}, @code{ocaml setup.ml -build} and
- @code{ocaml setup.ml -install}. The build system will assume that this file
- was generated by @uref{http://oasis.forge.ocamlcore.org/, OASIS} and will take
- care of setting the prefix and enabling tests if they are not disabled. You
- can pass configure and build flags with the @code{#:configure-flags} and
- @code{#:build-flags}. The @code{#:test-flags} key can be passed to change the
- set of flags used to enable tests. The @code{#:use-make?} key can be used to
- bypass this system in the build and install phases.
- When the package has a @file{configure} file, it is assumed that it is a
- hand-made configure script that requires a different argument format than
- in the @code{gnu-build-system}. You can add more flags with the
- @code{#:configure-flags} key.
- When the package has a @file{Makefile} file (or @code{#:use-make?} is
- @code{#t}), it will be used and more flags can be passed to the build and
- install phases with the @code{#:make-flags} key.
- Finally, some packages do not have these files and use a somewhat standard
- location for its build system. In that case, the build system will run
- @code{ocaml pkg/pkg.ml} or @code{ocaml pkg/build.ml} and take care of
- providing the path to the required findlib module. Additional flags can
- be passed via the @code{#:build-flags} key. Install is taken care of by
- @command{opam-installer}. In this case, the @code{opam} package must
- be added to the @code{native-inputs} field of the package definition.
- Note that most OCaml packages assume they will be installed in the same
- directory as OCaml, which is not what we want in guix. In particular, they
- will install @file{.so} files in their module's directory, which is usually
- fine because it is in the OCaml compiler directory. In guix though, these
- libraries cannot be found and we use @env{CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}. This
- variable points to @file{lib/ocaml/site-lib/stubslibs} and this is where
- @file{.so} libraries should be installed.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} python-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system python)}. It
- implements the more or less standard build procedure used by Python
- packages, which consists in running @code{python setup.py build} and
- then @code{python setup.py install --prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}}.
- For packages that install stand-alone Python programs under @code{bin/},
- it takes care of wrapping these programs so that their @env{PYTHONPATH}
- environment variable points to all the Python libraries they depend on.
- Which Python package is used to perform the build can be specified with
- the @code{#:python} parameter. This is a useful way to force a package
- to be built for a specific version of the Python interpreter, which
- might be necessary if the package is only compatible with a single
- interpreter version.
- By default guix calls @code{setup.py} under control of
- @code{setuptools}, much like @command{pip} does. Some packages are not
- compatible with setuptools (and pip), thus you can disable this by
- setting the @code{#:use-setuptools?} parameter to @code{#f}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} perl-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system perl)}. It
- implements the standard build procedure for Perl packages, which either
- consists in running @code{perl Build.PL --prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}},
- followed by @code{Build} and @code{Build install}; or in running
- @code{perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/gnu/store/@dots{}}, followed by
- @code{make} and @code{make install}, depending on which of
- @code{Build.PL} or @code{Makefile.PL} is present in the package
- distribution. Preference is given to the former if both @code{Build.PL}
- and @code{Makefile.PL} exist in the package distribution. This
- preference can be reversed by specifying @code{#t} for the
- @code{#:make-maker?} parameter.
- The initial @code{perl Makefile.PL} or @code{perl Build.PL} invocation
- passes flags specified by the @code{#:make-maker-flags} or
- @code{#:module-build-flags} parameter, respectively.
- Which Perl package is used can be specified with @code{#:perl}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} renpy-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system renpy)}. It implements
- the more or less standard build procedure used by Ren'py games, which consists
- of loading @code{#:game} once, thereby creating bytecode for it.
- It further creates a wrapper script in @code{bin/} and a desktop entry in
- @code{share/applications}, both of which can be used to launch the game.
- Which Ren'py package is used can be specified with @code{#:renpy}.
- Games can also be installed in outputs other than ``out'' by using
- @code{#:output}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} qt-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system qt)}. It
- is intended for use with applications using Qt or KDE.
- This build system adds the following two phases to the ones defined by
- @code{cmake-build-system}:
- @table @code
- @item check-setup
- The phase @code{check-setup} prepares the environment for running
- the checks as commonly used by Qt test programs.
- For now this only sets some environment variables:
- @code{QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen},
- @code{DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0} and
- @code{CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1}.
- This phase is added before the @code{check} phase.
- It's a separate phase to ease adjusting if necessary.
- @item qt-wrap
- The phase @code{qt-wrap}
- searches for Qt5 plugin paths, QML paths and some XDG in the inputs
- and output. In case some path is found, all programs in the output's
- @file{bin/}, @file{sbin/}, @file{libexec/} and @file{lib/libexec/} directories
- are wrapped in scripts defining the necessary environment variables.
- It is possible to exclude specific package outputs from that wrapping process
- by listing their names in the @code{#:qt-wrap-excluded-outputs} parameter.
- This is useful when an output is known not to contain any Qt binaries, and
- where wrapping would gratuitously add a dependency of that output on Qt, KDE,
- or such.
- This phase is added after the @code{install} phase.
- @end table
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} r-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system r)}. It
- implements the build procedure used by @uref{https://r-project.org, R}
- packages, which essentially is little more than running @samp{R CMD
- INSTALL --library=/gnu/store/@dots{}} in an environment where
- @env{R_LIBS_SITE} contains the paths to all R package inputs. Tests are
- run after installation using the R function
- @code{tools::testInstalledPackage}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} rakudo-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system rakudo)}. It
- implements the build procedure used by @uref{https://rakudo.org/,
- Rakudo} for @uref{https://perl6.org/, Perl6} packages. It installs the
- package to @code{/gnu/store/@dots{}/NAME-VERSION/share/perl6} and
- installs the binaries, library files and the resources, as well as wrap
- the files under the @code{bin/} directory. Tests can be skipped by
- passing @code{#f} to the @code{tests?} parameter.
- Which rakudo package is used can be specified with @code{rakudo}.
- Which perl6-tap-harness package used for the tests can be specified with
- @code{#:prove6} or removed by passing @code{#f} to the
- @code{with-prove6?} parameter.
- Which perl6-zef package used for tests and installing can be specified
- with @code{#:zef} or removed by passing @code{#f} to the
- @code{with-zef?} parameter.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} texlive-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system texlive)}. It is
- used to build TeX packages in batch mode with a specified engine. The
- build system sets the @env{TEXINPUTS} variable to find all TeX source
- files in the inputs.
- By default it runs @code{luatex} on all files ending on @code{ins}. A
- different engine and format can be specified with the
- @code{#:tex-format} argument. Different build targets can be specified
- with the @code{#:build-targets} argument, which expects a list of file
- names. The build system adds only @code{texlive-bin} and
- @code{texlive-latex-base} (both from @code{(gnu packages tex}) to the
- inputs. Both can be overridden with the arguments @code{#:texlive-bin}
- and @code{#:texlive-latex-base}, respectively.
- The @code{#:tex-directory} parameter tells the build system where to
- install the built files under the texmf tree.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} ruby-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system ruby)}. It
- implements the RubyGems build procedure used by Ruby packages, which
- involves running @code{gem build} followed by @code{gem install}.
- The @code{source} field of a package that uses this build system
- typically references a gem archive, since this is the format that Ruby
- developers use when releasing their software. The build system unpacks
- the gem archive, potentially patches the source, runs the test suite,
- repackages the gem, and installs it. Additionally, directories and
- tarballs may be referenced to allow building unreleased gems from Git or
- a traditional source release tarball.
- Which Ruby package is used can be specified with the @code{#:ruby}
- parameter. A list of additional flags to be passed to the @command{gem}
- command can be specified with the @code{#:gem-flags} parameter.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} waf-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system waf)}. It
- implements a build procedure around the @code{waf} script. The common
- phases---@code{configure}, @code{build}, and @code{install}---are
- implemented by passing their names as arguments to the @code{waf}
- script.
- The @code{waf} script is executed by the Python interpreter. Which
- Python package is used to run the script can be specified with the
- @code{#:python} parameter.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} scons-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system scons)}. It
- implements the build procedure used by the SCons software construction
- tool. This build system runs @code{scons} to build the package,
- @code{scons test} to run tests, and then @code{scons install} to install
- the package.
- Additional flags to be passed to @code{scons} can be specified with the
- @code{#:scons-flags} parameter. The default build and install targets
- can be overridden with @code{#:build-targets} and
- @code{#:install-targets} respectively. The version of Python used to
- run SCons can be specified by selecting the appropriate SCons package
- with the @code{#:scons} parameter.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} haskell-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system haskell)}. It
- implements the Cabal build procedure used by Haskell packages, which
- involves running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs configure
- --prefix=/gnu/store/@dots{}} and @code{runhaskell Setup.hs build}.
- Instead of installing the package by running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs
- install}, to avoid trying to register libraries in the read-only
- compiler store directory, the build system uses @code{runhaskell
- Setup.hs copy}, followed by @code{runhaskell Setup.hs register}. In
- addition, the build system generates the package documentation by
- running @code{runhaskell Setup.hs haddock}, unless @code{#:haddock? #f}
- is passed. Optional Haddock parameters can be passed with the help of
- the @code{#:haddock-flags} parameter. If the file @code{Setup.hs} is
- not found, the build system looks for @code{Setup.lhs} instead.
- Which Haskell compiler is used can be specified with the @code{#:haskell}
- parameter which defaults to @code{ghc}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} dub-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system dub)}. It
- implements the Dub build procedure used by D packages, which
- involves running @code{dub build} and @code{dub run}.
- Installation is done by copying the files manually.
- Which D compiler is used can be specified with the @code{#:ldc}
- parameter which defaults to @code{ldc}.
- @end defvr
- @anchor{emacs-build-system}
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} emacs-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system emacs)}. It
- implements an installation procedure similar to the packaging system
- of Emacs itself (@pxref{Packages,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
- It first creates the @code{@code{package}-autoloads.el} file, then it
- byte compiles all Emacs Lisp files. Differently from the Emacs
- packaging system, the Info documentation files are moved to the standard
- documentation directory and the @file{dir} file is deleted. The Elisp
- package files are installed directly under @file{share/emacs/site-lisp}.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} font-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system font)}. It
- implements an installation procedure for font packages where upstream
- provides pre-compiled TrueType, OpenType, etc.@: font files that merely
- need to be copied into place. It copies font files to standard
- locations in the output directory.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} meson-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system meson)}. It
- implements the build procedure for packages that use
- @url{https://mesonbuild.com, Meson} as their build system.
- It adds both Meson and @uref{https://ninja-build.org/, Ninja} to the set
- of inputs, and they can be changed with the parameters @code{#:meson}
- and @code{#:ninja} if needed. The default Meson is
- @code{meson-for-build}, which is special because it doesn't clear the
- @code{RUNPATH} of binaries and libraries when they are installed.
- This build system is an extension of @code{gnu-build-system}, but with the
- following phases changed to some specific for Meson:
- @table @code
- @item configure
- The phase runs @code{meson} with the flags specified in
- @code{#:configure-flags}. The flag @option{--buildtype} is always set to
- @code{debugoptimized} unless something else is specified in
- @code{#:build-type}.
- @item build
- The phase runs @code{ninja} to build the package in parallel by default, but
- this can be changed with @code{#:parallel-build?}.
- @item check
- The phase runs @code{ninja} with the target specified in @code{#:test-target},
- which is @code{"test"} by default.
- @item install
- The phase runs @code{ninja install} and can not be changed.
- @end table
- Apart from that, the build system also adds the following phases:
- @table @code
- @item fix-runpath
- This phase ensures that all binaries can find the libraries they need.
- It searches for required libraries in subdirectories of the package being
- built, and adds those to @code{RUNPATH} where needed. It also removes
- references to libraries left over from the build phase by
- @code{meson-for-build}, such as test dependencies, that aren't actually
- required for the program to run.
- @item glib-or-gtk-wrap
- This phase is the phase provided by @code{glib-or-gtk-build-system}, and it
- is not enabled by default. It can be enabled with @code{#:glib-or-gtk?}.
- @item glib-or-gtk-compile-schemas
- This phase is the phase provided by @code{glib-or-gtk-build-system}, and it
- is not enabled by default. It can be enabled with @code{#:glib-or-gtk?}.

- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} linux-module-build-system
- @code{linux-module-build-system} allows building Linux kernel modules.
- @cindex build phases
- This build system is an extension of @code{gnu-build-system}, but with the
- following phases changed:
- @table @code
- @item configure
- This phase configures the environment so that the Linux kernel's Makefile
- can be used to build the external kernel module.
- @item build
- This phase uses the Linux kernel's Makefile in order to build the external
- kernel module.
- @item install
- This phase uses the Linux kernel's Makefile in order to install the external
- kernel module.
- @end table
- It is possible and useful to specify the Linux kernel to use for building
- the module (in the @code{arguments} form of a package using the
- @code{linux-module-build-system}, use the key @code{#:linux} to specify it).
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} node-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system node)}. It
- implements the build procedure used by @uref{https://nodejs.org,
- Node.js}, which implements an approximation of the @code{npm install}
- command, followed by an @code{npm test} command.
- Which Node.js package is used to interpret the @code{npm} commands can
- be specified with the @code{#:node} parameter which defaults to
- @code{node}.
- @end defvr
- Lastly, for packages that do not need anything as sophisticated, a
- ``trivial'' build system is provided. It is trivial in the sense that
- it provides basically no support: it does not pull any implicit inputs,
- and does not have a notion of build phases.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} trivial-build-system
- This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system trivial)}.
- This build system requires a @code{#:builder} argument. This argument
- must be a Scheme expression that builds the package output(s)---as
- with @code{build-expression->derivation} (@pxref{Derivations,
- @code{build-expression->derivation}}).
- @end defvr
- @node Build Phases
- @section Build Phases
- @cindex build phases, for packages
- Almost all package build systems implement a notion @dfn{build phases}:
- a sequence of actions that the build system executes, when you build the
- package, leading to the installed byproducts in the store. A notable
- exception is the ``bare-bones'' @code{trivial-build-system}
- (@pxref{Build Systems}).
- As discussed in the previous section, those build systems provide a
- standard list of phases. For @code{gnu-build-system}, the standard
- phases include an @code{unpack} phase to unpack the source code tarball,
- a @command{configure} phase to run @code{./configure}, a @code{build}
- phase to run @command{make}, and (among others) an @code{install} phase
- to run @command{make install}; @pxref{Build Systems}, for a more
- detailed view of these phases. Likewise, @code{cmake-build-system}
- inherits these phases, but its @code{configure} phase runs
- @command{cmake} instead of @command{./configure}. Other build systems,
- such as @code{python-build-system}, have a wholly different list of
- standard phases. All this code runs on the @dfn{build side}: it is
- evaluated when you actually build the package, in a dedicated build
- process spawned by the build daemon (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}).
- Build phases are represented as association lists or ``alists''
- (@pxref{Association Lists,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}) where
- each key is a symbol for the name of the phase and the associated value
- is a procedure that accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. By
- convention, those procedures receive information about the build in the
- form of @dfn{keyword parameters}, which they can use or ignore.
- For example, here is how @code{(guix build gnu-build-system)} defines
- @code{%standard-phases}, the variable holding its alist of build
- phases@footnote{We present a simplified view of those build phases, but
- do take a look at @code{(guix build gnu-build-system)} to see all the
- details!}:
- @lisp
- ;; The build phases of 'gnu-build-system'.
- (define* (unpack #:key source #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Extract the source tarball.
- (invoke "tar" "xvf" source))
- (define* (configure #:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Run the 'configure' script. Install to output "out".
- (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))
- (invoke "./configure"
- (string-append "--prefix=" out))))
- (define* (build #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Compile.
- (invoke "make"))
- (define* (check #:key (test-target "check") (tests? #true)
- #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Run the test suite.
- (if tests?
- (invoke "make" test-target)
- (display "test suite not run\n")))
- (define* (install #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Install files to the prefix 'configure' specified.
- (invoke "make" "install"))
- (define %standard-phases
- ;; The list of standard phases (quite a few are omitted
- ;; for brevity). Each element is a symbol/procedure pair.
- (list (cons 'unpack unpack)
- (cons 'configure configure)
- (cons 'build build)
- (cons 'check check)
- (cons 'install install)))
- @end lisp
- This shows how @code{%standard-phases} is defined as a list of
- symbol/procedure pairs (@pxref{Pairs,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference
- Manual}). The first pair associates the @code{unpack} procedure with
- the @code{unpack} symbol---a name; the second pair defines the
- @code{configure} phase similarly, and so on. When building a package
- that uses @code{gnu-build-system} with its default list of phases, those
- phases are executed sequentially. You can see the name of each phase
- started and completed in the build log of packages that you build.
- Let's now look at the procedures themselves. Each one is defined with
- @code{define*}: @code{#:key} lists keyword parameters the procedure
- accepts, possibly with a default value, and @code{#:allow-other-keys}
- specifies that other keyword parameters are ignored (@pxref{Optional
- Arguments,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- The @code{unpack} procedure honors the @code{source} parameter, which
- the build system uses to pass the file name of the source tarball (or
- version control checkout), and it ignores other parameters. The
- @code{configure} phase only cares about the @code{outputs} parameter, an
- alist mapping package output names to their store file name
- (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}). It extracts the file name of
- for @code{out}, the default output, and passes it to
- @command{./configure} as the installation prefix, meaning that
- @command{make install} will eventually copy all the files in that
- directory (@pxref{Configuration, configuration and makefile
- conventions,, standards, GNU Coding Standards}). @code{build} and
- @code{install} ignore all their arguments. @code{check} honors the
- @code{test-target} argument, which specifies the name of the Makefile
- target to run tests; it prints a message and skips tests when
- @code{tests?} is false.
- @cindex build phases, customizing
- The list of phases used for a particular package can be changed with the
- @code{#:phases} parameter of the build system. Changing the set of
- build phases boils down to building a new alist of phases based on the
- @code{%standard-phases} alist described above. This can be done with
- standard alist procedures such as @code{alist-delete} (@pxref{SRFI-1
- Association Lists,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}); however, it is
- more convenient to do so with @code{modify-phases} (@pxref{Build
- Utilities, @code{modify-phases}}).
- Here is an example of a package definition that removes the
- @code{configure} phase of @code{%standard-phases} and inserts a new
- phase before the @code{build} phase, called
- @code{set-prefix-in-makefile}:
- @lisp
- (define-public example
- (package
- (name "example")
- ;; other fields omitted
- (build-system gnu-build-system)
- (arguments
- '(#:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases
- (delete 'configure)
- (add-before 'build 'set-prefix-in-makefile
- (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; Modify the makefile so that its
- ;; 'PREFIX' variable points to "out".
- (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))
- (substitute* "Makefile"
- (("PREFIX =.*")
- (string-append "PREFIX = "
- out "\n")))
- #true))))))))
- @end lisp
- The new phase that is inserted is written as an anonymous procedure,
- introduced with @code{lambda*}; it honors the @code{outputs} parameter
- we have seen before. @xref{Build Utilities}, for more about the helpers
- used by this phase, and for more examples of @code{modify-phases}.
- @cindex code staging
- @cindex staging, of code
- Keep in mind that build phases are code evaluated at the time the
- package is actually built. This explains why the whole
- @code{modify-phases} expression above is quoted (it comes after the
- @code{'} or apostrophe): it is @dfn{staged} for later execution.
- @xref{G-Expressions}, for an explanation of code staging and the
- @dfn{code strata} involved.
- @node Build Utilities
- @section Build Utilities
- As soon as you start writing non-trivial package definitions
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}) or other build actions
- (@pxref{G-Expressions}), you will likely start looking for helpers for
- ``shell-like'' actions---creating directories, copying and deleting
- files recursively, manipulating build phases, and so on. The
- @code{(guix build utils)} module provides such utility procedures.
- Most build systems load @code{(guix build utils)} (@pxref{Build
- Systems}). Thus, when writing custom build phases for your package
- definitions, you can usually assume those procedures are in scope.
- When writing G-expressions, you can import @code{(guix build utils)} on
- the ``build side'' using @code{with-imported-modules} and then put it in
- scope with the @code{use-modules} form (@pxref{Using Guile Modules,,,
- guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}):
- @lisp
- (with-imported-modules '((guix build utils)) ;import it
- (computed-file "empty-tree"
- #~(begin
- ;; Put it in scope.
- (use-modules (guix build utils))
- ;; Happily use its 'mkdir-p' procedure.
- (mkdir-p (string-append #$output "/a/b/c")))))
- @end lisp
- The remainder of this section is the reference for most of the utility
- procedures provided by @code{(guix build utils)}.
- @c TODO Document what's missing.
- @subsection Dealing with Store File Names
- This section documents procedures that deal with store file names.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} %store-directory
- Return the directory name of the store.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} store-file-name? @var{file}
- Return true if @var{file} is in the store.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} strip-store-file-name @var{file}
- Strip the @file{/gnu/store} and hash from @var{file}, a store file name.
- The result is typically a @code{"@var{package}-@var{version}"} string.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} package-name->name+version @var{name}
- Given @var{name}, a package name like @code{"foo-0.9.1b"}, return two
- values: @code{"foo"} and @code{"0.9.1b"}. When the version part is
- unavailable, @var{name} and @code{#f} are returned. The first hyphen
- followed by a digit is considered to introduce the version part.
- @end deffn
- @subsection File Types
- The procedures below deal with files and file types.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} directory-exists? @var{dir}
- Return @code{#t} if @var{dir} exists and is a directory.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} executable-file? @var{file}
- Return @code{#t} if @var{file} exists and is executable.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} symbolic-link? @var{file}
- Return @code{#t} if @var{file} is a symbolic link (aka. a ``symlink'').
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} elf-file? @var{file}
- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} ar-file? @var{file}
- @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} gzip-file? @var{file}
- Return @code{#t} if @var{file} is, respectively, an ELF file, an
- @code{ar} archive (such as a @file{.a} static library), or a gzip file.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} reset-gzip-timestamp @var{file} [#:keep-mtime? #t]
- If @var{file} is a gzip file, reset its embedded timestamp (as with
- @command{gzip --no-name}) and return true. Otherwise return @code{#f}.
- When @var{keep-mtime?} is true, preserve @var{file}'s modification time.
- @end deffn
- @subsection File Manipulation
- The following procedures and macros help create, modify, and delete
- files. They provide functionality comparable to common shell utilities
- such as @command{mkdir -p}, @command{cp -r}, @command{rm -r}, and
- @command{sed}. They complement Guile's extensive, but low-level, file
- system interface (@pxref{POSIX,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} with-directory-excursion @var{directory} @var{body}@dots{}
- Run @var{body} with @var{directory} as the process's current directory.
- Essentially, this macro changes the current directory to @var{directory}
- before evaluating @var{body}, using @code{chdir} (@pxref{Processes,,,
- guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}). It changes back to the initial
- directory when the dynamic extent of @var{body} is left, be it @i{via}
- normal procedure return or @i{via} a non-local exit such as an
- exception.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} mkdir-p @var{dir}
- Create directory @var{dir} and all its ancestors.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} install-file @var{file} @var{directory}
- Create @var{directory} if it does not exist and copy @var{file} in there
- under the same name.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} make-file-writable @var{file}
- Make @var{file} writable for its owner.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} copy-recursively @var{source} @var{destination} @
- [#:log (current-output-port)] [#:follow-symlinks? #f] [#:keep-mtime? #f]
- Copy @var{source} directory to @var{destination}. Follow symlinks if
- @var{follow-symlinks?} is true; otherwise, just preserve them. When
- @var{keep-mtime?} is true, keep the modification time of the files in
- @var{source} on those of @var{destination}. Write verbose output to the
- @var{log} port.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} delete-file-recursively @var{dir} @
- [#:follow-mounts? #f]
- Delete @var{dir} recursively, like @command{rm -rf}, without following
- symlinks. Don't follow mount points either, unless @var{follow-mounts?}
- is true. Report but ignore errors.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} substitute* @var{file} @
- ((@var{regexp} @var{match-var}@dots{}) @var{body}@dots{}) @dots{}
- Substitute @var{regexp} in @var{file} by the string returned by
- @var{body}. @var{body} is evaluated with each @var{match-var} bound to
- the corresponding positional regexp sub-expression. For example:
- @lisp
- (substitute* file
- (("hello")
- "good morning\n")
- (("foo([a-z]+)bar(.*)$" all letters end)
- (string-append "baz" letter end)))
- @end lisp
- Here, anytime a line of @var{file} contains @code{hello}, it is replaced
- by @code{good morning}. Anytime a line of @var{file} matches the second
- regexp, @code{all} is bound to the complete match, @code{letters} is bound
- to the first sub-expression, and @code{end} is bound to the last one.
- When one of the @var{match-var} is @code{_}, no variable is bound to the
- corresponding match substring.
- Alternatively, @var{file} may be a list of file names, in which case
- they are all subject to the substitutions.
- Be careful about using @code{$} to match the end of a line; by itself it
- won't match the terminating newline of a line.
- @end deffn
- @subsection File Search
- @cindex file, searching
- This section documents procedures to search and filter files.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} file-name-predicate @var{regexp}
- Return a predicate that returns true when passed a file name whose base
- name matches @var{regexp}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} find-files @var{dir} [@var{pred}] @
- [#:stat lstat] [#:directories? #f] [#:fail-on-error? #f]
- Return the lexicographically sorted list of files under @var{dir} for
- which @var{pred} returns true. @var{pred} is passed two arguments: the
- absolute file name, and its stat buffer; the default predicate always
- returns true. @var{pred} can also be a regular expression, in which
- case it is equivalent to @code{(file-name-predicate @var{pred})}.
- @var{stat} is used to obtain file information; using @code{lstat} means
- that symlinks are not followed. If @var{directories?} is true, then
- directories will also be included. If @var{fail-on-error?} is true,
- raise an exception upon error.
- @end deffn
- Here are a few examples where we assume that the current directory is
- the root of the Guix source tree:
- @lisp
- ;; List all the regular files in the current directory.
- (find-files ".")
- @result{} ("./.dir-locals.el" "./.gitignore" @dots{})
- ;; List all the .scm files under gnu/services.
- (find-files "gnu/services" "\\.scm$")
- @result{} ("gnu/services/admin.scm" "gnu/services/audio.scm" @dots{})
- ;; List ar files in the current directory.
- (find-files "." (lambda (file stat) (ar-file? file)))
- @result{} ("./libformat.a" "./libstore.a" @dots{})
- @end lisp
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} which @var{program}
- Return the complete file name for @var{program} as found in
- @code{$PATH}, or @code{#f} if @var{program} could not be found.
- @end deffn
- @subsection Build Phases
- @cindex build phases
- The @code{(guix build utils)} also contains tools to manipulate build
- phases as used by build systems (@pxref{Build Systems}). Build phases
- are represented as association lists or ``alists'' (@pxref{Association
- Lists,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}) where each key is a symbol
- naming the phase and the associated value is a procedure (@pxref{Build
- Phases}).
- Guile core and the @code{(srfi srfi-1)} module both provide tools to
- manipulate alists. The @code{(guix build utils)} module complements
- those with tools written with build phases in mind.
- @cindex build phases, modifying
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} modify-phases @var{phases} @var{clause}@dots{}
- Modify @var{phases} sequentially as per each @var{clause}, which may
- have one of the following forms:
- @lisp
- (delete @var{old-phase-name})
- (replace @var{old-phase-name} @var{new-phase})
- (add-before @var{old-phase-name} @var{new-phase-name} @var{new-phase})
- (add-after @var{old-phase-name} @var{new-phase-name} @var{new-phase})
- @end lisp
- Where every @var{phase-name} above is an expression evaluating to a
- symbol, and @var{new-phase} an expression evaluating to a procedure.
- @end deffn
- The example below is taken from the definition of the @code{grep}
- package. It adds a phase to run after the @code{install} phase, called
- @code{fix-egrep-and-fgrep}. That phase is a procedure (@code{lambda*}
- is for anonymous procedures) that takes a @code{#:outputs} keyword
- argument and ignores extra keyword arguments (@pxref{Optional
- Arguments,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}, for more on
- @code{lambda*} and optional and keyword arguments.) The phase uses
- @code{substitute*} to modify the installed @file{egrep} and @file{fgrep}
- scripts so that they refer to @code{grep} by its absolute file name:
- @lisp
- (modify-phases %standard-phases
- (add-after 'install 'fix-egrep-and-fgrep
- ;; Patch 'egrep' and 'fgrep' to execute 'grep' via its
- ;; absolute file name instead of searching for it in $PATH.
- (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
- (let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))
- (bin (string-append out "/bin")))
- (substitute* (list (string-append bin "/egrep")
- (string-append bin "/fgrep"))
- (("^exec grep")
- (string-append "exec " bin "/grep")))
- #t))))
- @end lisp
- In the example below, phases are modified in two ways: the standard
- @code{configure} phase is deleted, presumably because the package does
- not have a @file{configure} script or anything similar, and the default
- @code{install} phase is replaced by one that manually copies the
- executable files to be installed:
- @lisp
- (modify-phases %standard-phases
- (delete 'configure) ;no 'configure' script
- (replace 'install
- (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
- ;; The package's Makefile doesn't provide an "install"
- ;; rule so do it by ourselves.
- (let ((bin (string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out")
- "/bin")))
- (install-file "footswitch" bin)
- (install-file "scythe" bin)
- #t))))
- @end lisp
- @c TODO: Add more examples.
- @node The Store
- @section The Store
- @cindex store
- @cindex store items
- @cindex store paths
- Conceptually, the @dfn{store} is the place where derivations that have
- been built successfully are stored---by default, @file{/gnu/store}.
- Sub-directories in the store are referred to as @dfn{store items} or
- sometimes @dfn{store paths}. The store has an associated database that
- contains information such as the store paths referred to by each store
- path, and the list of @emph{valid} store items---results of successful
- builds. This database resides in @file{@var{localstatedir}/guix/db},
- where @var{localstatedir} is the state directory specified @i{via}
- @option{--localstatedir} at configure time, usually @file{/var}.
- The store is @emph{always} accessed by the daemon on behalf of its clients
- (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}). To manipulate the store, clients
- connect to the daemon over a Unix-domain socket, send requests to it,
- and read the result---these are remote procedure calls, or RPCs.
- @quotation Note
- Users must @emph{never} modify files under @file{/gnu/store} directly.
- This would lead to inconsistencies and break the immutability
- assumptions of Guix's functional model (@pxref{Introduction}).
- @xref{Invoking guix gc, @command{guix gc --verify}}, for information on
- how to check the integrity of the store and attempt recovery from
- accidental modifications.
- @end quotation
- The @code{(guix store)} module provides procedures to connect to the
- daemon, and to perform RPCs. These are described below. By default,
- @code{open-connection}, and thus all the @command{guix} commands,
- connect to the local daemon or to the URI specified by the
- @env{GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET} environment variable.
- @defvr {Environment Variable} GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET
- When set, the value of this variable should be a file name or a URI
- designating the daemon endpoint. When it is a file name, it denotes a
- Unix-domain socket to connect to. In addition to file names, the
- supported URI schemes are:
- @table @code
- @item file
- @itemx unix
- These are for Unix-domain sockets.
- @code{file:///var/guix/daemon-socket/socket} is equivalent to
- @file{/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket}.
- @item guix
- @cindex daemon, remote access
- @cindex remote access to the daemon
- @cindex daemon, cluster setup
- @cindex clusters, daemon setup
- These URIs denote connections over TCP/IP, without encryption nor
- authentication of the remote host. The URI must specify the host name
- and optionally a port number (by default port 44146 is used):
- @example
- guix://master.guix.example.org:1234
- @end example
- This setup is suitable on local networks, such as clusters, where only
- trusted nodes may connect to the build daemon at
- @code{master.guix.example.org}.
- The @option{--listen} option of @command{guix-daemon} can be used to
- instruct it to listen for TCP connections (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
- @option{--listen}}).
- @item ssh
- @cindex SSH access to build daemons
- These URIs allow you to connect to a remote daemon over SSH@. This
- feature requires Guile-SSH (@pxref{Requirements}) and a working
- @command{guile} binary in @env{PATH} on the destination machine. It
- supports public key and GSSAPI authentication. A typical URL might look
- like this:
- @example
- ssh://charlie@@guix.example.org:22
- @end example
- As for @command{guix copy}, the usual OpenSSH client configuration files
- are honored (@pxref{Invoking guix copy}).
- @end table
- Additional URI schemes may be supported in the future.
- @c XXX: Remove this note when the protocol incurs fewer round trips
- @c and when (guix derivations) no longer relies on file system access.
- @quotation Note
- The ability to connect to remote build daemons is considered
- experimental as of @value{VERSION}. Please get in touch with us to
- share any problems or suggestions you may have (@pxref{Contributing}).
- @end quotation
- @end defvr

- extra space on the file system so that the garbage collector can still

- @node Derivations
- @section Derivations
- @cindex derivations
- Low-level build actions and the environment in which they are performed
- are represented by @dfn{derivations}. A derivation contains the
- following pieces of information:
- @itemize
- @item
- The outputs of the derivation---derivations produce at least one file or
- directory in the store, but may produce more.
- @item
- @cindex build-time dependencies
- @cindex dependencies, build-time
- The inputs of the derivations---i.e., its build-time dependencies---which may
- be other derivations or plain files in the store (patches, build scripts,
- etc.).
- @item
- The system type targeted by the derivation---e.g., @code{x86_64-linux}.
- @item
- The file name of a build script in the store, along with the arguments
- to be passed.
- @item
- A list of environment variables to be defined.
- @end itemize
- @cindex derivation path
- Derivations allow clients of the daemon to communicate build actions to
- the store. They exist in two forms: as an in-memory representation,
- both on the client- and daemon-side, and as files in the store whose
- name end in @file{.drv}---these files are referred to as @dfn{derivation
- paths}. Derivations paths can be passed to the @code{build-derivations}
- procedure to perform the build actions they prescribe (@pxref{The
- Store}).
- @cindex fixed-output derivations
- Operations such as file downloads and version-control checkouts for
- which the expected content hash is known in advance are modeled as
- @dfn{fixed-output derivations}. Unlike regular derivations, the outputs
- of a fixed-output derivation are independent of its inputs---e.g., a
- source code download produces the same result regardless of the download
- method and tools being used.
- @cindex references
- @cindex run-time dependencies
- @cindex dependencies, run-time
- The outputs of derivations---i.e., the build results---have a set of
- @dfn{references}, as reported by the @code{references} RPC or the
- @command{guix gc --references} command (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}). References
- are the set of run-time dependencies of the build results. References are a
- subset of the inputs of the derivation; this subset is automatically computed
- by the build daemon by scanning all the files in the outputs.
- The @code{(guix derivations)} module provides a representation of
- derivations as Scheme objects, along with procedures to create and
- otherwise manipulate derivations. The lowest-level primitive to create
- a derivation is the @code{derivation} procedure:
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} derivation @var{store} @var{name} @var{builder} @
- @var{args} [#:outputs '("out")] [#:hash #f] [#:hash-algo #f] @
- [#:recursive? #f] [#:inputs '()] [#:env-vars '()] @
- [#:system (%current-system)] [#:references-graphs #f] @
- [#:allowed-references #f] [#:disallowed-references #f] @
- [#:leaked-env-vars #f] [#:local-build? #f] @
- [#:substitutable? #t] [#:properties '()]
- Build a derivation with the given arguments, and return the resulting
- @code{<derivation>} object.
- When @var{hash} and @var{hash-algo} are given, a
- @dfn{fixed-output derivation} is created---i.e., one whose result is
- known in advance, such as a file download. If, in addition,
- @var{recursive?} is true, then that fixed output may be an executable
- file or a directory and @var{hash} must be the hash of an archive
- containing this output.
- When @var{references-graphs} is true, it must be a list of file
- name/store path pairs. In that case, the reference graph of each store
- path is exported in the build environment in the corresponding file, in
- a simple text format.
- When @var{allowed-references} is true, it must be a list of store items
- or outputs that the derivation's output may refer to. Likewise,
- @var{disallowed-references}, if true, must be a list of things the
- outputs may @emph{not} refer to.
- When @var{leaked-env-vars} is true, it must be a list of strings
- denoting environment variables that are allowed to ``leak'' from the
- daemon's environment to the build environment. This is only applicable
- to fixed-output derivations---i.e., when @var{hash} is true. The main
- use is to allow variables such as @code{http_proxy} to be passed to
- derivations that download files.
- When @var{local-build?} is true, declare that the derivation is not a
- good candidate for offloading and should rather be built locally
- (@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}). This is the case for small derivations
- where the costs of data transfers would outweigh the benefits.
- When @var{substitutable?} is false, declare that substitutes of the
- derivation's output should not be used (@pxref{Substitutes}). This is
- useful, for instance, when building packages that capture details of the
- host CPU instruction set.
- @var{properties} must be an association list describing ``properties'' of the
- derivation. It is kept as-is, uninterpreted, in the derivation.
- @end deffn
- @noindent
- Here's an example with a shell script as its builder, assuming
- @var{store} is an open connection to the daemon, and @var{bash} points
- to a Bash executable in the store:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix utils)
- (guix store)
- (guix derivations))
- (let ((builder ; add the Bash script to the store
- (add-text-to-store store "my-builder.sh"
- "echo hello world > $out\n" '())))
- (derivation store "foo"
- bash `("-e" ,builder)
- #:inputs `((,bash) (,builder))
- #:env-vars '(("HOME" . "/homeless"))))
- @result{} #<derivation /gnu/store/@dots{}-foo.drv => /gnu/store/@dots{}-foo>
- @end lisp
- As can be guessed, this primitive is cumbersome to use directly. A
- better approach is to write build scripts in Scheme, of course! The
- best course of action for that is to write the build code as a
- ``G-expression'', and to pass it to @code{gexp->derivation}. For more
- information, @pxref{G-Expressions}.
- Once upon a time, @code{gexp->derivation} did not exist and constructing
- derivations with build code written in Scheme was achieved with
- @code{build-expression->derivation}, documented below. This procedure
- is now deprecated in favor of the much nicer @code{gexp->derivation}.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} build-expression->derivation @var{store} @

- Return a derivation that executes Scheme expression @var{exp} as a
- builder for derivation @var{name}. @var{inputs} must be a list of
- @code{(name drv-path sub-drv)} tuples; when @var{sub-drv} is omitted,
- @code{"out"} is assumed. @var{modules} is a list of names of Guile
- modules from the current search path to be copied in the store,
- compiled, and made available in the load path during the execution of
- @var{exp}---e.g., @code{((guix build utils) (guix build
- gnu-build-system))}.
- @var{exp} is evaluated in an environment where @code{%outputs} is bound
- to a list of output/path pairs, and where @code{%build-inputs} is bound
- to a list of string/output-path pairs made from @var{inputs}.
- Optionally, @var{env-vars} is a list of string pairs specifying the name
- and value of environment variables visible to the builder. The builder
- terminates by passing the result of @var{exp} to @code{exit}; thus, when
- @var{exp} returns @code{#f}, the build is considered to have failed.
- @var{exp} is built using @var{guile-for-build} (a derivation). When
- @var{guile-for-build} is omitted or is @code{#f}, the value of the
- @code{%guile-for-build} fluid is used instead.
- See the @code{derivation} procedure for the meaning of
- @var{references-graphs}, @var{allowed-references},
- @var{disallowed-references}, @var{local-build?}, and
- @var{substitutable?}.

- @node The Store Monad
- @section The Store Monad
- @cindex monad
- The procedures that operate on the store described in the previous
- sections all take an open connection to the build daemon as their first
- argument. Although the underlying model is functional, they either have
- side effects or depend on the current state of the store.
- The former is inconvenient: the connection to the build daemon has to be
- carried around in all those functions, making it impossible to compose
- functions that do not take that parameter with functions that do. The
- latter can be problematic: since store operations have side effects
- and/or depend on external state, they have to be properly sequenced.
- @cindex monadic values
- @cindex monadic functions
- This is where the @code{(guix monads)} module comes in. This module
- provides a framework for working with @dfn{monads}, and a particularly
- useful monad for our uses, the @dfn{store monad}. Monads are a
- construct that allows two things: associating ``context'' with values
- (in our case, the context is the store), and building sequences of
- computations (here computations include accesses to the store). Values
- in a monad---values that carry this additional context---are called
- @dfn{monadic values}; procedures that return such values are called
- @dfn{monadic procedures}.
- Consider this ``normal'' procedure:
- @lisp
- (define (sh-symlink store)
- ;; Return a derivation that symlinks the 'bash' executable.
- (let* ((drv (package-derivation store bash))
- (out (derivation->output-path drv))
- (sh (string-append out "/bin/bash")))
- (build-expression->derivation store "sh"
- `(symlink ,sh %output))))
- @end lisp
- Using @code{(guix monads)} and @code{(guix gexp)}, it may be rewritten
- as a monadic function:
- @lisp
- (define (sh-symlink)
- ;; Same, but return a monadic value.
- (mlet %store-monad ((drv (package->derivation bash)))
- (gexp->derivation "sh"
- #~(symlink (string-append #$drv "/bin/bash")
- #$output))))
- @end lisp
- There are several things to note in the second version: the @code{store}
- parameter is now implicit and is ``threaded'' in the calls to the
- @code{package->derivation} and @code{gexp->derivation} monadic
- procedures, and the monadic value returned by @code{package->derivation}
- is @dfn{bound} using @code{mlet} instead of plain @code{let}.
- As it turns out, the call to @code{package->derivation} can even be
- omitted since it will take place implicitly, as we will see later
- (@pxref{G-Expressions}):
- @lisp
- (define (sh-symlink)
- (gexp->derivation "sh"
- #~(symlink (string-append #$bash "/bin/bash")
- #$output)))
- @end lisp
- @c See
- @c <https://syntaxexclamation.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/escaping-continuations/>
- @c for the funny quote.
- Calling the monadic @code{sh-symlink} has no effect. As someone once
- said, ``you exit a monad like you exit a building on fire: by running''.
- So, to exit the monad and get the desired effect, one must use
- @code{run-with-store}:
- @lisp
- (run-with-store (open-connection) (sh-symlink))
- @result{} /gnu/store/...-sh-symlink
- @end lisp
- Note that the @code{(guix monad-repl)} module extends the Guile REPL with
- new ``meta-commands'' to make it easier to deal with monadic procedures:
- @code{run-in-store}, and @code{enter-store-monad}. The former is used
- to ``run'' a single monadic value through the store:
- @example
- scheme@@(guile-user)> ,run-in-store (package->derivation hello)
- $1 = #<derivation /gnu/store/@dots{}-hello-2.9.drv => @dots{}>
- @end example
- The latter enters a recursive REPL, where all the return values are
- automatically run through the store:
- @example
- scheme@@(guile-user)> ,enter-store-monad
- store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> (package->derivation hello)
- $2 = #<derivation /gnu/store/@dots{}-hello-2.9.drv => @dots{}>
- store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> (text-file "foo" "Hello!")
- $3 = "/gnu/store/@dots{}-foo"
- store-monad@@(guile-user) [1]> ,q
- scheme@@(guile-user)>
- @end example
- @noindent
- Note that non-monadic values cannot be returned in the
- @code{store-monad} REPL.
- The main syntactic forms to deal with monads in general are provided by
- the @code{(guix monads)} module and are described below.
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} with-monad @var{monad} @var{body} ...
- Evaluate any @code{>>=} or @code{return} forms in @var{body} as being
- in @var{monad}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} return @var{val}
- Return a monadic value that encapsulates @var{val}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} >>= @var{mval} @var{mproc} ...
- @dfn{Bind} monadic value @var{mval}, passing its ``contents'' to monadic
- procedures @var{mproc}@dots{}@footnote{This operation is commonly
- referred to as ``bind'', but that name denotes an unrelated procedure in
- Guile. Thus we use this somewhat cryptic symbol inherited from the
- Haskell language.}. There can be one @var{mproc} or several of them, as
- in this example:
- @lisp
- (run-with-state
- (with-monad %state-monad
- (>>= (return 1)
- (lambda (x) (return (+ 1 x)))
- (lambda (x) (return (* 2 x)))))
- 'some-state)
- @result{} 4
- @result{} some-state
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} mlet @var{monad} ((@var{var} @var{mval}) ...) @
- @var{body} ...
- @deffnx {Scheme Syntax} mlet* @var{monad} ((@var{var} @var{mval}) ...) @
- @var{body} ...
- Bind the variables @var{var} to the monadic values @var{mval} in
- @var{body}, which is a sequence of expressions. As with the bind
- operator, this can be thought of as ``unpacking'' the raw, non-monadic
- value ``contained'' in @var{mval} and making @var{var} refer to that
- raw, non-monadic value within the scope of the @var{body}. The form
- (@var{var} -> @var{val}) binds @var{var} to the ``normal'' value
- @var{val}, as per @code{let}. The binding operations occur in sequence
- from left to right. The last expression of @var{body} must be a monadic
- expression, and its result will become the result of the @code{mlet} or
- @code{mlet*} when run in the @var{monad}.
- @code{mlet*} is to @code{mlet} what @code{let*} is to @code{let}
- (@pxref{Local Bindings,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme System} mbegin @var{monad} @var{mexp} ...
- Bind @var{mexp} and the following monadic expressions in sequence,
- returning the result of the last expression. Every expression in the
- sequence must be a monadic expression.
- This is akin to @code{mlet}, except that the return values of the
- monadic expressions are ignored. In that sense, it is analogous to
- @code{begin}, but applied to monadic expressions.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme System} mwhen @var{condition} @var{mexp0} @var{mexp*} ...
- When @var{condition} is true, evaluate the sequence of monadic
- expressions @var{mexp0}..@var{mexp*} as in an @code{mbegin}. When
- @var{condition} is false, return @code{*unspecified*} in the current
- monad. Every expression in the sequence must be a monadic expression.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme System} munless @var{condition} @var{mexp0} @var{mexp*} ...
- When @var{condition} is false, evaluate the sequence of monadic
- expressions @var{mexp0}..@var{mexp*} as in an @code{mbegin}. When
- @var{condition} is true, return @code{*unspecified*} in the current
- monad. Every expression in the sequence must be a monadic expression.
- @end deffn
- @cindex state monad
- The @code{(guix monads)} module provides the @dfn{state monad}, which
- allows an additional value---the state---to be @emph{threaded} through
- monadic procedure calls.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %state-monad
- The state monad. Procedures in the state monad can access and change
- the state that is threaded.
- Consider the example below. The @code{square} procedure returns a value
- in the state monad. It returns the square of its argument, but also
- increments the current state value:
- @lisp
- (define (square x)
- (mlet %state-monad ((count (current-state)))
- (mbegin %state-monad
- (set-current-state (+ 1 count))
- (return (* x x)))))
- (run-with-state (sequence %state-monad (map square (iota 3))) 0)
- @result{} (0 1 4)
- @result{} 3
- @end lisp
- When ``run'' through @code{%state-monad}, we obtain that additional state
- value, which is the number of @code{square} calls.
- @end defvr
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} current-state
- Return the current state as a monadic value.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} set-current-state @var{value}
- Set the current state to @var{value} and return the previous state as a
- monadic value.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} state-push @var{value}
- Push @var{value} to the current state, which is assumed to be a list,
- and return the previous state as a monadic value.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} state-pop
- Pop a value from the current state and return it as a monadic value.
- The state is assumed to be a list.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} run-with-state @var{mval} [@var{state}]
- Run monadic value @var{mval} starting with @var{state} as the initial
- state. Return two values: the resulting value, and the resulting state.
- @end deffn
- The main interface to the store monad, provided by the @code{(guix
- store)} module, is as follows.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %store-monad
- The store monad---an alias for @code{%state-monad}.
- Values in the store monad encapsulate accesses to the store. When its
- effect is needed, a value of the store monad must be ``evaluated'' by
- passing it to the @code{run-with-store} procedure (see below).
- @end defvr
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} run-with-store @var{store} @var{mval} [#:guile-for-build] [#:system (%current-system)]
- Run @var{mval}, a monadic value in the store monad, in @var{store}, an
- open store connection.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} text-file @var{name} @var{text} [@var{references}]
- Return as a monadic value the absolute file name in the store of the file
- containing @var{text}, a string. @var{references} is a list of store items that the
- resulting text file refers to; it defaults to the empty list.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} binary-file @var{name} @var{data} [@var{references}]
- Return as a monadic value the absolute file name in the store of the file
- containing @var{data}, a bytevector. @var{references} is a list of store
- items that the resulting binary file refers to; it defaults to the empty list.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} interned-file @var{file} [@var{name}] @
- [#:recursive? #t] [#:select? (const #t)]
- Return the name of @var{file} once interned in the store. Use
- @var{name} as its store name, or the basename of @var{file} if
- @var{name} is omitted.
- When @var{recursive?} is true, the contents of @var{file} are added
- recursively; if @var{file} designates a flat file and @var{recursive?}
- is true, its contents are added, and its permission bits are kept.
- When @var{recursive?} is true, call @code{(@var{select?} @var{file}
- @var{stat})} for each directory entry, where @var{file} is the entry's
- absolute file name and @var{stat} is the result of @code{lstat}; exclude
- entries for which @var{select?} does not return true.
- The example below adds a file to the store, under two different names:
- @lisp
- (run-with-store (open-connection)
- (mlet %store-monad ((a (interned-file "README"))
- (b (interned-file "README" "LEGU-MIN")))
- (return (list a b))))
- @result{} ("/gnu/store/rwm@dots{}-README" "/gnu/store/44i@dots{}-LEGU-MIN")
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- The @code{(guix packages)} module exports the following package-related
- monadic procedures:
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} package-file @var{package} [@var{file}] @
- [#:system (%current-system)] [#:target #f] @
- [#:output "out"]
- Return as a monadic
- value in the absolute file name of @var{file} within the @var{output}
- directory of @var{package}. When @var{file} is omitted, return the name
- of the @var{output} directory of @var{package}. When @var{target} is
- true, use it as a cross-compilation target triplet.
- Note that this procedure does @emph{not} build @var{package}. Thus, the
- result might or might not designate an existing file. We recommend not
- using this procedure unless you know what you are doing.

- @section G-Expressions

- @cindex build code quoting
- So we have ``derivations'', which represent a sequence of build actions
- to be performed to produce an item in the store (@pxref{Derivations}).
- These build actions are performed when asking the daemon to actually
- build the derivations; they are run by the daemon in a container
- (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}).
- @cindex code staging
- @cindex staging, of code
- @cindex strata of code
- It should come as no surprise that we like to write these build actions
- in Scheme. When we do that, we end up with two @dfn{strata} of Scheme
- code@footnote{The term @dfn{stratum} in this context was coined by
- Manuel Serrano et al.@: in the context of their work on Hop. Oleg
- Kiselyov, who has written insightful
- @url{http://okmij.org/ftp/meta-programming/#meta-scheme, essays and code
- on this topic}, refers to this kind of code generation as
- @dfn{staging}.}: the ``host code''---code that defines packages, talks
- to the daemon, etc.---and the ``build code''---code that actually
- performs build actions, such as making directories, invoking
- @command{make}, and so on (@pxref{Build Phases}).
- To describe a derivation and its build actions, one typically needs to
- embed build code inside host code. It boils down to manipulating build
- code as data, and the homoiconicity of Scheme---code has a direct
- representation as data---comes in handy for that. But we need more than
- the normal @code{quasiquote} mechanism in Scheme to construct build
- expressions.
- The @code{(guix gexp)} module implements @dfn{G-expressions}, a form of
- S-expressions adapted to build expressions. G-expressions, or
- @dfn{gexps}, consist essentially of three syntactic forms: @code{gexp},
- @code{ungexp}, and @code{ungexp-splicing} (or simply: @code{#~},
- @code{#$}, and @code{#$@@}), which are comparable to
- @code{quasiquote}, @code{unquote}, and @code{unquote-splicing},
- respectively (@pxref{Expression Syntax, @code{quasiquote},, guile,
- GNU Guile Reference Manual}). However, there are major differences:
- @itemize
- @item
- Gexps are meant to be written to a file and run or manipulated by other
- processes.
- @item
- When a high-level object such as a package or derivation is unquoted
- inside a gexp, the result is as if its output file name had been
- introduced.
- @item
- Gexps carry information about the packages or derivations they refer to,
- and these dependencies are automatically added as inputs to the build
- processes that use them.
- @end itemize
- @cindex lowering, of high-level objects in gexps
- This mechanism is not limited to package and derivation
- objects: @dfn{compilers} able to ``lower'' other high-level objects to
- derivations or files in the store can be defined,
- such that these objects can also be inserted
- into gexps. For example, a useful type of high-level objects that can be
- inserted in a gexp is ``file-like objects'', which make it easy to
- add files to the store and to refer to them in
- derivations and such (see @code{local-file} and @code{plain-file}
- below).
- To illustrate the idea, here is an example of a gexp:
- @lisp
- (define build-exp
- #~(begin
- (mkdir #$output)
- (chdir #$output)
- (symlink (string-append #$coreutils "/bin/ls")
- "list-files")))
- @end lisp
- This gexp can be passed to @code{gexp->derivation}; we obtain a
- derivation that builds a directory containing exactly one symlink to
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22/bin/ls}:
- @lisp
- (gexp->derivation "the-thing" build-exp)
- @end lisp
- As one would expect, the @code{"/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22"} string is
- substituted to the reference to the @var{coreutils} package in the
- actual build code, and @var{coreutils} is automatically made an input to
- the derivation. Likewise, @code{#$output} (equivalent to @code{(ungexp
- output)}) is replaced by a string containing the directory name of the
- output of the derivation.
- @cindex cross compilation
- In a cross-compilation context, it is useful to distinguish between
- references to the @emph{native} build of a package---that can run on the
- host---versus references to cross builds of a package. To that end, the
- @code{#+} plays the same role as @code{#$}, but is a reference to a
- native package build:
- @lisp
- (gexp->derivation "vi"
- #~(begin
- (mkdir #$output)
- (mkdir (string-append #$output "/bin"))
- (system* (string-append #+coreutils "/bin/ln")
- "-s"
- (string-append #$emacs "/bin/emacs")
- (string-append #$output "/bin/vi")))
- #:target "aarch64-linux-gnu")
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- In the example above, the native build of @var{coreutils} is used, so
- that @command{ln} can actually run on the host; but then the
- cross-compiled build of @var{emacs} is referenced.
- @cindex imported modules, for gexps
- @findex with-imported-modules
- Another gexp feature is @dfn{imported modules}: sometimes you want to be
- able to use certain Guile modules from the ``host environment'' in the
- gexp, so those modules should be imported in the ``build environment''.
- The @code{with-imported-modules} form allows you to express that:
- @lisp
- (let ((build (with-imported-modules '((guix build utils))
- #~(begin
- (use-modules (guix build utils))
- (mkdir-p (string-append #$output "/bin"))))))
- (gexp->derivation "empty-dir"
- #~(begin
- #$build
- (display "success!\n")
- #t)))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- In this example, the @code{(guix build utils)} module is automatically
- pulled into the isolated build environment of our gexp, such that
- @code{(use-modules (guix build utils))} works as expected.
- @cindex module closure
- @findex source-module-closure
- Usually you want the @emph{closure} of the module to be imported---i.e.,
- the module itself and all the modules it depends on---rather than just
- the module; failing to do that, attempts to use the module will fail
- because of missing dependent modules. The @code{source-module-closure}
- procedure computes the closure of a module by looking at its source file
- headers, which comes in handy in this case:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix modules)) ;for 'source-module-closure'
- (with-imported-modules (source-module-closure
- '((guix build utils)
- (gnu build vm)))
- (gexp->derivation "something-with-vms"
- #~(begin
- (use-modules (guix build utils)
- (gnu build vm))
- @dots{})))
- @end lisp
- @cindex extensions, for gexps
- @findex with-extensions
- In the same vein, sometimes you want to import not just pure-Scheme
- modules, but also ``extensions'' such as Guile bindings to C libraries
- or other ``full-blown'' packages. Say you need the @code{guile-json}
- package available on the build side, here's how you would do it:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu packages guile)) ;for 'guile-json'
- (with-extensions (list guile-json)
- (gexp->derivation "something-with-json"
- #~(begin
- (use-modules (json))
- @dots{})))
- @end lisp
- The syntactic form to construct gexps is summarized below.
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} #~@var{exp}
- @deffnx {Scheme Syntax} (gexp @var{exp})
- Return a G-expression containing @var{exp}. @var{exp} may contain one
- or more of the following forms:
- @table @code
- @item #$@var{obj}
- @itemx (ungexp @var{obj})
- Introduce a reference to @var{obj}. @var{obj} may have one of the
- supported types, for example a package or a
- derivation, in which case the @code{ungexp} form is replaced by its
- output file name---e.g., @code{"/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22}.
- If @var{obj} is a list, it is traversed and references to supported
- objects are substituted similarly.
- If @var{obj} is another gexp, its contents are inserted and its
- dependencies are added to those of the containing gexp.
- If @var{obj} is another kind of object, it is inserted as is.
- @item #$@var{obj}:@var{output}
- @itemx (ungexp @var{obj} @var{output})
- This is like the form above, but referring explicitly to the
- @var{output} of @var{obj}---this is useful when @var{obj} produces
- multiple outputs (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}).
- @item #+@var{obj}
- @itemx #+@var{obj}:output
- @itemx (ungexp-native @var{obj})
- @itemx (ungexp-native @var{obj} @var{output})
- Same as @code{ungexp}, but produces a reference to the @emph{native}
- build of @var{obj} when used in a cross compilation context.
- @item #$output[:@var{output}]
- @itemx (ungexp output [@var{output}])
- Insert a reference to derivation output @var{output}, or to the main
- output when @var{output} is omitted.
- This only makes sense for gexps passed to @code{gexp->derivation}.
- @item #$@@@var{lst}
- @itemx (ungexp-splicing @var{lst})
- Like the above, but splices the contents of @var{lst} inside the
- containing list.
- @item #+@@@var{lst}
- @itemx (ungexp-native-splicing @var{lst})
- Like the above, but refers to native builds of the objects listed in
- @var{lst}.
- @end table
- G-expressions created by @code{gexp} or @code{#~} are run-time objects
- of the @code{gexp?} type (see below).
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} with-imported-modules @var{modules} @var{body}@dots{}
- Mark the gexps defined in @var{body}@dots{} as requiring @var{modules}
- in their execution environment.
- Each item in @var{modules} can be the name of a module, such as
- @code{(guix build utils)}, or it can be a module name, followed by an
- arrow, followed by a file-like object:
- @lisp
- `((guix build utils)
- (guix gcrypt)
- ((guix config) => ,(scheme-file "config.scm"
- #~(define-module @dots{}))))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- In the example above, the first two modules are taken from the search
- path, and the last one is created from the given file-like object.
- This form has @emph{lexical} scope: it has an effect on the gexps
- directly defined in @var{body}@dots{}, but not on those defined, say, in
- procedures called from @var{body}@dots{}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} with-extensions @var{extensions} @var{body}@dots{}
- Mark the gexps defined in @var{body}@dots{} as requiring
- @var{extensions} in their build and execution environment.
- @var{extensions} is typically a list of package objects such as those
- defined in the @code{(gnu packages guile)} module.
- Concretely, the packages listed in @var{extensions} are added to the
- load path while compiling imported modules in @var{body}@dots{}; they
- are also added to the load path of the gexp returned by
- @var{body}@dots{}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} gexp? @var{obj}
- Return @code{#t} if @var{obj} is a G-expression.
- @end deffn
- G-expressions are meant to be written to disk, either as code building
- some derivation, or as plain files in the store. The monadic procedures
- below allow you to do that (@pxref{The Store Monad}, for more
- information about monads).
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} gexp->derivation @var{name} @var{exp} @
- [#:system (%current-system)] [#:target #f] [#:graft? #t] @
- [#:hash #f] [#:hash-algo #f] @
- [#:recursive? #f] [#:env-vars '()] [#:modules '()] @
- [#:module-path @code{%load-path}] @
- [#:effective-version "2.2"] @
- [#:references-graphs #f] [#:allowed-references #f] @
- [#:disallowed-references #f] @
- [#:leaked-env-vars #f] @
- [#:script-name (string-append @var{name} "-builder")] @
- [#:deprecation-warnings #f] @
- [#:local-build? #f] [#:substitutable? #t] @
- [#:properties '()] [#:guile-for-build #f]
- Return a derivation @var{name} that runs @var{exp} (a gexp) with
- @var{guile-for-build} (a derivation) on @var{system}; @var{exp} is
- stored in a file called @var{script-name}. When @var{target} is true,
- it is used as the cross-compilation target triplet for packages referred
- to by @var{exp}.
- @var{modules} is deprecated in favor of @code{with-imported-modules}.
- Its meaning is to
- make @var{modules} available in the evaluation context of @var{exp};
- @var{modules} is a list of names of Guile modules searched in
- @var{module-path} to be copied in the store, compiled, and made available in
- the load path during the execution of @var{exp}---e.g., @code{((guix
- build utils) (guix build gnu-build-system))}.
- @var{effective-version} determines the string to use when adding extensions of
- @var{exp} (see @code{with-extensions}) to the search path---e.g., @code{"2.2"}.
- @var{graft?} determines whether packages referred to by @var{exp} should be grafted when
- applicable.
- When @var{references-graphs} is true, it must be a list of tuples of one of the
- following forms:
- @example
- (@var{file-name} @var{package})
- (@var{file-name} @var{package} @var{output})
- (@var{file-name} @var{derivation})
- (@var{file-name} @var{derivation} @var{output})
- (@var{file-name} @var{store-item})
- @end example
- The right-hand-side of each element of @var{references-graphs} is automatically made
- an input of the build process of @var{exp}. In the build environment, each
- @var{file-name} contains the reference graph of the corresponding item, in a simple
- text format.
- @var{allowed-references} must be either @code{#f} or a list of output names and packages.
- In the latter case, the list denotes store items that the result is allowed to
- refer to. Any reference to another store item will lead to a build error.
- Similarly for @var{disallowed-references}, which can list items that must not be
- referenced by the outputs.
- @var{deprecation-warnings} determines whether to show deprecation warnings while
- compiling modules. It can be @code{#f}, @code{#t}, or @code{'detailed}.
- The other arguments are as for @code{derivation} (@pxref{Derivations}).
- @end deffn
- @cindex file-like objects
- The @code{local-file}, @code{plain-file}, @code{computed-file},
- @code{program-file}, and @code{scheme-file} procedures below return
- @dfn{file-like objects}. That is, when unquoted in a G-expression,
- these objects lead to a file in the store. Consider this G-expression:
- @lisp
- #~(system* #$(file-append glibc "/sbin/nscd") "-f"
- #$(local-file "/tmp/my-nscd.conf"))
- @end lisp
- The effect here is to ``intern'' @file{/tmp/my-nscd.conf} by copying it
- to the store. Once expanded, for instance @i{via}
- @code{gexp->derivation}, the G-expression refers to that copy under
- @file{/gnu/store}; thus, modifying or removing the file in @file{/tmp}
- does not have any effect on what the G-expression does.
- @code{plain-file} can be used similarly; it differs in that the file
- content is directly passed as a string.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} local-file @var{file} [@var{name}] @
- [#:recursive? #f] [#:select? (const #t)]
- Return an object representing local file @var{file} to add to the store;
- this object can be used in a gexp. If @var{file} is a literal string
- denoting a relative file name, it is looked up relative to the source
- file where it appears; if @var{file} is not a literal string, it is
- looked up relative to the current working directory at run time.
- @var{file} will be added to the store under @var{name}--by default the
- base name of @var{file}.
- When @var{recursive?} is true, the contents of @var{file} are added recursively; if @var{file}
- designates a flat file and @var{recursive?} is true, its contents are added, and its
- permission bits are kept.
- When @var{recursive?} is true, call @code{(@var{select?} @var{file}
- @var{stat})} for each directory entry, where @var{file} is the entry's
- absolute file name and @var{stat} is the result of @code{lstat}; exclude
- entries for which @var{select?} does not return true.
- This is the declarative counterpart of the @code{interned-file} monadic
- procedure (@pxref{The Store Monad, @code{interned-file}}).
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} plain-file @var{name} @var{content}
- Return an object representing a text file called @var{name} with the given
- @var{content} (a string or a bytevector) to be added to the store.
- This is the declarative counterpart of @code{text-file}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} computed-file @var{name} @var{gexp} @
- [#:local-build? #t]
- [#:options '()]
- Return an object representing the store item @var{name}, a file or
- directory computed by @var{gexp}. When @var{local-build?} is true (the
- default), the derivation is built locally. @var{options} is a list of
- additional arguments to pass to @code{gexp->derivation}.
- This is the declarative counterpart of @code{gexp->derivation}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} gexp->script @var{name} @var{exp} @
- [#:guile (default-guile)] [#:module-path %load-path] @
- [#:system (%current-system)] [#:target #f]
- Return an executable script @var{name} that runs @var{exp} using
- @var{guile}, with @var{exp}'s imported modules in its search path.
- Look up @var{exp}'s modules in @var{module-path}.
- The example below builds a script that simply invokes the @command{ls}
- command:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (guix gexp) (gnu packages base))
- (gexp->script "list-files"
- #~(execl #$(file-append coreutils "/bin/ls")
- "ls"))
- @end lisp
- When ``running'' it through the store (@pxref{The Store Monad,
- @code{run-with-store}}), we obtain a derivation that produces an
- executable file @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-list-files} along these lines:
- @example
- #!/gnu/store/@dots{}-guile-2.0.11/bin/guile -ds
- !#
- (execl "/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.22"/bin/ls" "ls")
- @end example
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} program-file @var{name} @var{exp} @
- [#:guile #f] [#:module-path %load-path]
- Return an object representing the executable store item @var{name} that
- runs @var{gexp}. @var{guile} is the Guile package used to execute that
- script. Imported modules of @var{gexp} are looked up in @var{module-path}.
- This is the declarative counterpart of @code{gexp->script}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} gexp->file @var{name} @var{exp} @
- [#:set-load-path? #t] [#:module-path %load-path] @
- [#:splice? #f] @
- [#:guile (default-guile)]
- Return a derivation that builds a file @var{name} containing @var{exp}.
- When @var{splice?} is true, @var{exp} is considered to be a list of
- expressions that will be spliced in the resulting file.
- When @var{set-load-path?} is true, emit code in the resulting file to
- set @code{%load-path} and @code{%load-compiled-path} to honor
- @var{exp}'s imported modules. Look up @var{exp}'s modules in
- @var{module-path}.
- The resulting file holds references to all the dependencies of @var{exp}
- or a subset thereof.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} scheme-file @var{name} @var{exp} @
- [#:splice? #f] [#:set-load-path? #t]
- Return an object representing the Scheme file @var{name} that contains
- @var{exp}.
- This is the declarative counterpart of @code{gexp->file}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} text-file* @var{name} @var{text} @dots{}
- Return as a monadic value a derivation that builds a text file
- containing all of @var{text}. @var{text} may list, in addition to
- strings, objects of any type that can be used in a gexp: packages,
- derivations, local file objects, etc. The resulting store file holds
- references to all these.
- This variant should be preferred over @code{text-file} anytime the file
- to create will reference items from the store. This is typically the
- case when building a configuration file that embeds store file names,
- like this:
- @lisp
- (define (profile.sh)
- ;; Return the name of a shell script in the store that
- ;; initializes the 'PATH' environment variable.
- (text-file* "profile.sh"
- "export PATH=" coreutils "/bin:"
- grep "/bin:" sed "/bin\n"))
- @end lisp
- In this example, the resulting @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-profile.sh} file
- will reference @var{coreutils}, @var{grep}, and @var{sed}, thereby
- preventing them from being garbage-collected during its lifetime.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} mixed-text-file @var{name} @var{text} @dots{}
- Return an object representing store file @var{name} containing
- @var{text}. @var{text} is a sequence of strings and file-like objects,
- as in:
- @lisp
- (mixed-text-file "profile"
- "export PATH=" coreutils "/bin:" grep "/bin")
- @end lisp
- This is the declarative counterpart of @code{text-file*}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} file-union @var{name} @var{files}
- Return a @code{<computed-file>} that builds a directory containing all of @var{files}.
- Each item in @var{files} must be a two-element list where the first element is the
- file name to use in the new directory, and the second element is a gexp
- denoting the target file. Here's an example:
- @lisp
- (file-union "etc"
- `(("hosts" ,(plain-file "hosts"
- "127.0.0.1 localhost"))
- ("bashrc" ,(plain-file "bashrc"
- "alias ls='ls --color=auto'"))))
- @end lisp
- This yields an @code{etc} directory containing these two files.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} directory-union @var{name} @var{things}
- Return a directory that is the union of @var{things}, where @var{things} is a list of
- file-like objects denoting directories. For example:
- @lisp
- (directory-union "guile+emacs" (list guile emacs))
- @end lisp
- yields a directory that is the union of the @code{guile} and @code{emacs} packages.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} file-append @var{obj} @var{suffix} @dots{}
- Return a file-like object that expands to the concatenation of @var{obj}
- and @var{suffix}, where @var{obj} is a lowerable object and each
- @var{suffix} is a string.
- As an example, consider this gexp:
- @lisp
- (gexp->script "run-uname"
- #~(system* #$(file-append coreutils
- "/bin/uname")))
- @end lisp
- The same effect could be achieved with:
- @lisp
- (gexp->script "run-uname"
- #~(system* (string-append #$coreutils
- "/bin/uname")))
- @end lisp
- There is one difference though: in the @code{file-append} case, the
- resulting script contains the absolute file name as a string, whereas in
- the second case, the resulting script contains a @code{(string-append
- @dots{})} expression to construct the file name @emph{at run time}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} let-system @var{system} @var{body}@dots{}
- @deffnx {Scheme Syntax} let-system (@var{system} @var{target}) @var{body}@dots{}
- Bind @var{system} to the currently targeted system---e.g.,
- @code{"x86_64-linux"}---within @var{body}.
- In the second case, additionally bind @var{target} to the current
- cross-compilation target---a GNU triplet such as
- @code{"arm-linux-gnueabihf"}---or @code{#f} if we are not
- cross-compiling.
- @code{let-system} is useful in the occasional case where the object
- spliced into the gexp depends on the target system, as in this example:
- @lisp
- #~(system*
- #+(let-system system
- (cond ((string-prefix? "armhf-" system)
- (file-append qemu "/bin/qemu-system-arm"))
- ((string-prefix? "x86_64-" system)
- (file-append qemu "/bin/qemu-system-x86_64"))
- (else
- (error "dunno!"))))
- "-net" "user" #$image)
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} with-parameters ((@var{parameter} @var{value}) @dots{}) @var{exp}
- This macro is similar to the @code{parameterize} form for
- dynamically-bound @dfn{parameters} (@pxref{Parameters,,, guile, GNU
- Guile Reference Manual}). The key difference is that it takes effect
- when the file-like object returned by @var{exp} is lowered to a
- derivation or store item.
- A typical use of @code{with-parameters} is to force the system in effect
- for a given object:
- @lisp
- (with-parameters ((%current-system "i686-linux"))
- coreutils)
- @end lisp
- The example above returns an object that corresponds to the i686 build
- of Coreutils, regardless of the current value of @code{%current-system}.
- @end deffn
- Of course, in addition to gexps embedded in ``host'' code, there are
- also modules containing build tools. To make it clear that they are
- meant to be used in the build stratum, these modules are kept in the
- @code{(guix build @dots{})} name space.
- @cindex lowering, of high-level objects in gexps
- Internally, high-level objects are @dfn{lowered}, using their compiler,
- to either derivations or store items. For instance, lowering a package
- yields a derivation, and lowering a @code{plain-file} yields a store
- item. This is achieved using the @code{lower-object} monadic procedure.
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} lower-object @var{obj} [@var{system}] @
- [#:target #f]
- Return as a value in @code{%store-monad} the derivation or store item
- corresponding to @var{obj} for @var{system}, cross-compiling for
- @var{target} if @var{target} is true. @var{obj} must be an object that
- has an associated gexp compiler, such as a @code{<package>}.
- @end deffn
- @node Invoking guix repl
- @section Invoking @command{guix repl}
- @cindex REPL, read-eval-print loop, script
- The @command{guix repl} command makes it easier to program Guix in Guile
- by launching a Guile @dfn{read-eval-print loop} (REPL) for interactive
- programming (@pxref{Using Guile Interactively,,, guile,
- GNU Guile Reference Manual}), or by running Guile scripts
- (@pxref{Running Guile Scripts,,, guile,
- GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
- Compared to just launching the @command{guile}
- command, @command{guix repl} guarantees that all the Guix modules and all its
- dependencies are available in the search path.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix repl @var{options} [@var{file} @var{args}]
- @end example
- When a @var{file} argument is provided, @var{file} is
- executed as a Guile scripts:
- @example
- guix repl my-script.scm
- @end example
- To pass arguments to the script, use @code{--} to prevent them from
- being interpreted as arguments to @command{guix repl} itself:
- @example
- guix repl -- my-script.scm --input=foo.txt
- @end example
- To make a script executable directly from the shell, using the guix
- executable that is on the user's search path, add the following two
- lines at the top of the script:
- @example
- @code{#!/usr/bin/env -S guix repl --}
- @code{!#}
- @end example
- Without a file name argument, a Guile REPL is started:
- @example
- $ guix repl
- scheme@@(guile-user)> ,use (gnu packages base)
- scheme@@(guile-user)> coreutils
- $1 = #<package coreutils@@8.29 gnu/packages/base.scm:327 3e28300>
- @end example
- @cindex inferiors
- In addition, @command{guix repl} implements a simple machine-readable REPL
- protocol for use by @code{(guix inferior)}, a facility to interact with
- @dfn{inferiors}, separate processes running a potentially different revision
- of Guix.
- The available options are as follows:
- @table @code
- @item --type=@var{type}
- @itemx -t @var{type}
- Start a REPL of the given @var{TYPE}, which can be one of the following:
- @table @code
- @item guile
- This is default, and it spawns a standard full-featured Guile REPL.
- @item machine
- Spawn a REPL that uses the machine-readable protocol. This is the protocol
- that the @code{(guix inferior)} module speaks.
- @end table
- @item --listen=@var{endpoint}
- By default, @command{guix repl} reads from standard input and writes to
- standard output. When this option is passed, it will instead listen for
- connections on @var{endpoint}. Here are examples of valid options:
- @table @code
- @item --listen=tcp:37146
- Accept connections on localhost on port 37146.
- @item --listen=unix:/tmp/socket
- Accept connections on the Unix-domain socket @file{/tmp/socket}.
- @end table
- @item --load-path=@var{directory}
- @itemx -L @var{directory}
- Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- This allows users to define their own packages and make them visible to
- the script or REPL.
- @item -q
- Inhibit loading of the @file{~/.guile} file. By default, that
- configuration file is loaded when spawning a @code{guile} REPL.

- @cindex package building
- @cindex @command{guix build}
- The @command{guix build} command builds packages or derivations and
- their dependencies, and prints the resulting store paths. Note that it
- does not modify the user's profile---this is the job of the
- @command{guix package} command (@pxref{Invoking guix package}). Thus,
- it is mainly useful for distribution developers.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix build @var{options} @var{package-or-derivation}@dots{}
- @end example
- As an example, the following command builds the latest versions of Emacs
- and of Guile, displays their build logs, and finally displays the
- resulting directories:
- @example
- guix build emacs guile
- @end example
- Similarly, the following command builds all the available packages:
- @example
- guix build --quiet --keep-going \
- `guix package -A | cut -f1,2 --output-delimiter=@@`
- @end example
- @var{package-or-derivation} may be either the name of a package found in
- the software distribution such as @code{coreutils} or
- @code{coreutils@@8.20}, or a derivation such as
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.19.drv}. In the former case, a
- package with the corresponding name (and optionally version) is searched
- for among the GNU distribution modules (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- Alternatively, the @option{--expression} option may be used to specify a
- Scheme expression that evaluates to a package; this is useful when
- disambiguating among several same-named packages or package variants is
- needed.
- There may be zero or more @var{options}. The available options are
- described in the subsections below.

- @node Common Build Options
- @subsection Common Build Options
- A number of options that control the build process are common to
- @command{guix build} and other commands that can spawn builds, such as
- @command{guix package} or @command{guix archive}. These are the
- following:
- @table @code
- @item --load-path=@var{directory}
- @itemx -L @var{directory}
- Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- This allows users to define their own packages and make them visible to
- the command-line tools.
- @item --keep-failed
- @itemx -K
- Keep the build tree of failed builds. Thus, if a build fails, its build
- tree is kept under @file{/tmp}, in a directory whose name is shown at
- the end of the build log. This is useful when debugging build issues.
- @xref{Debugging Build Failures}, for tips and tricks on how to debug
- build issues.
- This option implies @option{--no-offload}, and it has no effect when
- connecting to a remote daemon with a @code{guix://} URI (@pxref{The
- Store, the @env{GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET} variable}).
- @item --keep-going
- @itemx -k
- Keep going when some of the derivations fail to build; return only once
- all the builds have either completed or failed.
- The default behavior is to stop as soon as one of the specified
- derivations has failed.
- @item --dry-run
- @itemx -n
- Do not build the derivations.
- @anchor{fallback-option}
- @item --fallback
- When substituting a pre-built binary fails, fall back to building
- packages locally (@pxref{Substitution Failure}).
- @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
- @anchor{client-substitute-urls}
- Consider @var{urls} the whitespace-separated list of substitute source
- URLs, overriding the default list of URLs of @command{guix-daemon}
- (@pxref{daemon-substitute-urls,, @command{guix-daemon} URLs}).
- This means that substitutes may be downloaded from @var{urls}, provided
- they are signed by a key authorized by the system administrator
- (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- When @var{urls} is the empty string, substitutes are effectively
- disabled.
- @item --no-substitutes
- Do not use substitutes for build products. That is, always build things
- locally instead of allowing downloads of pre-built binaries
- (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- @item --no-grafts
- Do not ``graft'' packages. In practice, this means that package updates
- available as grafts are not applied. @xref{Security Updates}, for more
- information on grafts.
- @item --rounds=@var{n}
- Build each derivation @var{n} times in a row, and raise an error if
- consecutive build results are not bit-for-bit identical.
- This is a useful way to detect non-deterministic builds processes.
- Non-deterministic build processes are a problem because they make it
- practically impossible for users to @emph{verify} whether third-party
- binaries are genuine. @xref{Invoking guix challenge}, for more.
- When used in conjunction with @option{--keep-failed}, the differing
- output is kept in the store, under @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-check}.
- This makes it easy to look for differences between the two results.
- @item --no-offload
- Do not use offload builds to other machines (@pxref{Daemon Offload
- Setup}). That is, always build things locally instead of offloading
- builds to remote machines.
- @item --max-silent-time=@var{seconds}
- When the build or substitution process remains silent for more than
- @var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
- By default, the daemon's setting is honored (@pxref{Invoking
- guix-daemon, @option{--max-silent-time}}).
- @item --timeout=@var{seconds}
- Likewise, when the build or substitution process lasts for more than
- @var{seconds}, terminate it and report a build failure.
- By default, the daemon's setting is honored (@pxref{Invoking
- guix-daemon, @option{--timeout}}).
- @c Note: This option is actually not part of %standard-build-options but
- @c most programs honor it.
- @cindex verbosity, of the command-line tools
- @cindex build logs, verbosity
- @item -v @var{level}
- @itemx --verbosity=@var{level}
- Use the given verbosity @var{level}, an integer. Choosing 0 means that no
- output is produced, 1 is for quiet output, and 2 shows all the build log
- output on standard error.
- @item --cores=@var{n}
- @itemx -c @var{n}
- Allow the use of up to @var{n} CPU cores for the build. The special
- value @code{0} means to use as many CPU cores as available.
- @item --max-jobs=@var{n}
- @itemx -M @var{n}
- Allow at most @var{n} build jobs in parallel. @xref{Invoking
- guix-daemon, @option{--max-jobs}}, for details about this option and the
- equivalent @command{guix-daemon} option.
- @item --debug=@var{level}
- Produce debugging output coming from the build daemon. @var{level} must be an
- integer between 0 and 5; higher means more verbose output. Setting a level of
- 4 or more may be helpful when debugging setup issues with the build daemon.
- @end table
- Behind the scenes, @command{guix build} is essentially an interface to
- the @code{package-derivation} procedure of the @code{(guix packages)}
- module, and to the @code{build-derivations} procedure of the @code{(guix
- derivations)} module.
- In addition to options explicitly passed on the command line,
- @command{guix build} and other @command{guix} commands that support
- building honor the @env{GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS} environment variable.
- @defvr {Environment Variable} GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS
- Users can define this variable to a list of command line options that
- will automatically be used by @command{guix build} and other
- @command{guix} commands that can perform builds, as in the example
- below:
- @example
- $ export GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS="--no-substitutes -c 2 -L /foo/bar"
- @end example
- These options are parsed independently, and the result is appended to
- the parsed command-line options.
- @end defvr
- @node Package Transformation Options
- @subsection Package Transformation Options
- @cindex package variants
- Another set of command-line options supported by @command{guix build}
- and also @command{guix package} are @dfn{package transformation
- options}. These are options that make it possible to define @dfn{package
- variants}---for instance, packages built from different source code.
- This is a convenient way to create customized packages on the fly
- without having to type in the definitions of package variants
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
- Package transformation options are preserved across upgrades:
- @command{guix upgrade} attempts to apply transformation options
- initially used when creating the profile to the upgraded packages.
- The available options are listed below. Most commands support them and
- also support a @option{--help-transform} option that lists all the
- available options and a synopsis (these options are not shown in the
- @option{--help} output for brevity).
- @table @code
- @item --with-source=@var{source}
- @itemx --with-source=@var{package}=@var{source}
- @itemx --with-source=@var{package}@@@var{version}=@var{source}
- Use @var{source} as the source of @var{package}, and @var{version} as
- its version number.
- @var{source} must be a file name or a URL, as for @command{guix
- download} (@pxref{Invoking guix download}).
- When @var{package} is omitted,
- it is taken to be the package name specified on the
- command line that matches the base of @var{source}---e.g.,
- if @var{source} is @code{/src/guile-2.0.10.tar.gz}, the corresponding
- package is @code{guile}.
- Likewise, when @var{version} is omitted, the version string is inferred from
- @var{source}; in the previous example, it is @code{2.0.10}.
- This option allows users to try out versions of packages other than the
- one provided by the distribution. The example below downloads
- @file{ed-1.7.tar.gz} from a GNU mirror and uses that as the source for
- the @code{ed} package:
- @example
- guix build ed --with-source=mirror://gnu/ed/ed-1.7.tar.gz
- @end example
- As a developer, @option{--with-source} makes it easy to test release
- candidates:
- @example
- guix build guile --with-source=../guile-2.0.9.219-e1bb7.tar.xz
- @end example
- @dots{} or to build from a checkout in a pristine environment:
- @example
- $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guix.git
- $ guix build guix --with-source=guix@@1.0=./guix
- @end example
- @item --with-input=@var{package}=@var{replacement}
- Replace dependency on @var{package} by a dependency on
- @var{replacement}. @var{package} must be a package name, and
- @var{replacement} must be a package specification such as @code{guile}
- or @code{guile@@1.8}.
- For instance, the following command builds Guix, but replaces its
- dependency on the current stable version of Guile with a dependency on
- the legacy version of Guile, @code{guile@@2.0}:
- @example
- guix build --with-input=guile=guile@@2.0 guix
- @end example
- This is a recursive, deep replacement. So in this example, both
- @code{guix} and its dependency @code{guile-json} (which also depends on
- @code{guile}) get rebuilt against @code{guile@@2.0}.
- This is implemented using the @code{package-input-rewriting} Scheme
- procedure (@pxref{Defining Packages, @code{package-input-rewriting}}).
- @item --with-graft=@var{package}=@var{replacement}
- This is similar to @option{--with-input} but with an important difference:
- instead of rebuilding the whole dependency chain, @var{replacement} is
- built and then @dfn{grafted} onto the binaries that were initially
- referring to @var{package}. @xref{Security Updates}, for more
- information on grafts.
- For example, the command below grafts version 3.5.4 of GnuTLS onto Wget
- and all its dependencies, replacing references to the version of GnuTLS
- they currently refer to:
- @example
- guix build --with-graft=gnutls=gnutls@@3.5.4 wget
- @end example
- This has the advantage of being much faster than rebuilding everything.
- But there is a caveat: it works if and only if @var{package} and
- @var{replacement} are strictly compatible---for example, if they provide
- a library, the application binary interface (ABI) of those libraries
- must be compatible. If @var{replacement} is somehow incompatible with
- @var{package}, then the resulting package may be unusable. Use with
- care!
- @cindex debugging info, rebuilding
- @item --with-debug-info=@var{package}
- Build @var{package} in a way that preserves its debugging info and graft
- it onto packages that depend on it. This is useful if @var{package}
- does not already provide debugging info as a @code{debug} output
- (@pxref{Installing Debugging Files}).
- For example, suppose you're experiencing a crash in Inkscape and would
- like to see what's up in GLib, a library deep down in Inkscape's
- dependency graph. GLib lacks a @code{debug} output, so debugging is
- tough. Fortunately, you rebuild GLib with debugging info and tack it on
- Inkscape:
- @example
- guix install inkscape --with-debug-info=glib
- @end example
- Only GLib needs to be recompiled so this takes a reasonable amount of
- time. @xref{Installing Debugging Files}, for more info.
- @quotation Note
- Under the hood, this option works by passing the @samp{#:strip-binaries?
- #f} to the build system of the package of interest (@pxref{Build
- Systems}). Most build systems support that option but some do not. In
- that case, an error is raised.
- Likewise, if a C/C++ package is built without @code{-g} (which is rarely
- the case), debugging info will remain unavailable even when
- @code{#:strip-binaries?} is false.
- @end quotation
- @cindex tool chain, changing the build tool chain of a package
- @item --with-c-toolchain=@var{package}=@var{toolchain}
- This option changes the compilation of @var{package} and everything that
- depends on it so that they get built with @var{toolchain} instead of the
- default GNU tool chain for C/C++.
- Consider this example:
- @example
- guix build octave-cli \
- --with-c-toolchain=fftw=gcc-toolchain@@10 \
- --with-c-toolchain=fftwf=gcc-toolchain@@10
- @end example
- The command above builds a variant of the @code{fftw} and @code{fftwf}
- packages using version 10 of @code{gcc-toolchain} instead of the default
- tool chain, and then builds a variant of the GNU@tie{}Octave
- command-line interface using them. GNU@tie{}Octave itself is also built
- with @code{gcc-toolchain@@10}.
- This other example builds the Hardware Locality (@code{hwloc}) library
- and its dependents up to @code{intel-mpi-benchmarks} with the Clang C
- compiler:
- @example
- guix build --with-c-toolchain=hwloc=clang-toolchain \
- intel-mpi-benchmarks
- @end example
- @quotation Note
- There can be application binary interface (ABI) incompatibilities among
- tool chains. This is particularly true of the C++ standard library and
- run-time support libraries such as that of OpenMP@. By rebuilding all
- dependents with the same tool chain, @option{--with-c-toolchain} minimizes
- the risks of incompatibility but cannot entirely eliminate them. Choose
- @var{package} wisely.
- @end quotation
- @item --with-git-url=@var{package}=@var{url}
- @cindex Git, using the latest commit
- @cindex latest commit, building
- Build @var{package} from the latest commit of the @code{master} branch of the
- Git repository at @var{url}. Git sub-modules of the repository are fetched,
- recursively.
- For example, the following command builds the NumPy Python library against the
- latest commit of the master branch of Python itself:
- @example
- guix build python-numpy \
- --with-git-url=python=https://github.com/python/cpython
- @end example
- This option can also be combined with @option{--with-branch} or
- @option{--with-commit} (see below).
- @cindex continuous integration
- Obviously, since it uses the latest commit of the given branch, the result of
- such a command varies over time. Nevertheless it is a convenient way to
- rebuild entire software stacks against the latest commit of one or more
- packages. This is particularly useful in the context of continuous
- integration (CI).
- Checkouts are kept in a cache under @file{~/.cache/guix/checkouts} to speed up
- consecutive accesses to the same repository. You may want to clean it up once
- in a while to save disk space.
- @item --with-branch=@var{package}=@var{branch}
- Build @var{package} from the latest commit of @var{branch}. If the
- @code{source} field of @var{package} is an origin with the @code{git-fetch}
- method (@pxref{origin Reference}) or a @code{git-checkout} object, the
- repository URL is taken from that @code{source}. Otherwise you have to use
- @option{--with-git-url} to specify the URL of the Git repository.
- For instance, the following command builds @code{guile-sqlite3} from the
- latest commit of its @code{master} branch, and then builds @code{guix} (which
- depends on it) and @code{cuirass} (which depends on @code{guix}) against this
- specific @code{guile-sqlite3} build:
- @example
- guix build --with-branch=guile-sqlite3=master cuirass
- @end example
- @item --with-commit=@var{package}=@var{commit}
- This is similar to @option{--with-branch}, except that it builds from
- @var{commit} rather than the tip of a branch. @var{commit} must be a valid
- Git commit SHA1 identifier or a tag.
- @item --with-patch=@var{package}=@var{file}
- Add @var{file} to the list of patches applied to @var{package}, where
- @var{package} is a spec such as @code{python@@3.8} or @code{glibc}.
- @var{file} must contain a patch; it is applied with the flags specified
- in the @code{origin} of @var{package} (@pxref{origin Reference}), which
- by default includes @code{-p1} (@pxref{patch Directories,,, diffutils,
- Comparing and Merging Files}).
- As an example, the command below rebuilds Coreutils with the GNU C
- Library (glibc) patched with the given patch:
- @example
- guix build coreutils --with-patch=glibc=./glibc-frob.patch
- @end example
- In this example, glibc itself as well as everything that leads to
- Coreutils in the dependency graph is rebuilt.
- @cindex upstream, latest version
- @item --with-latest=@var{package}
- So you like living on the bleeding edge? This option is for you! It
- replaces occurrences of @var{package} in the dependency graph with its
- latest upstream version, as reported by @command{guix refresh}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix refresh}).
- It does so by determining the latest upstream release of @var{package}
- (if possible), downloading it, and authenticating it @emph{if} it comes
- with an OpenPGP signature.
- As an example, the command below builds Guix against the latest version
- of Guile-JSON:
- @example
- guix build guix --with-latest=guile-json
- @end example
- There are limitations. First, in cases where the tool cannot or does
- not know how to authenticate source code, you are at risk of running
- malicious code; a warning is emitted in this case. Second, this option
- simply changes the source used in the existing package definitions,
- which is not always sufficient: there might be additional dependencies
- that need to be added, patches to apply, and more generally the quality
- assurance work that Guix developers normally do will be missing.
- You've been warned! In all the other cases, it's a snappy way to stay
- on top. We encourage you to submit patches updating the actual package
- definitions once you have successfully tested an upgrade
- (@pxref{Contributing}).
- @cindex test suite, skipping
- @item --without-tests=@var{package}
- Build @var{package} without running its tests. This can be useful in
- situations where you want to skip the lengthy test suite of a
- intermediate package, or if a package's test suite fails in a
- non-deterministic fashion. It should be used with care because running
- the test suite is a good way to ensure a package is working as intended.
- Turning off tests leads to a different store item. Consequently, when
- using this option, anything that depends on @var{package} must be
- rebuilt, as in this example:
- @example
- guix install --without-tests=python python-notebook
- @end example
- The command above installs @code{python-notebook} on top of
- @code{python} built without running its test suite. To do so, it also
- rebuilds everything that depends on @code{python}, including
- @code{python-notebook} itself.
- Internally, @option{--without-tests} relies on changing the
- @code{#:tests?} option of a package's @code{check} phase (@pxref{Build
- Systems}). Note that some packages use a customized @code{check} phase
- that does not respect a @code{#:tests? #f} setting. Therefore,
- @option{--without-tests} has no effect on these packages.
- @end table
- Wondering how to achieve the same effect using Scheme code, for example
- in your manifest, or how to write your own package transformation?
- @xref{Defining Package Variants}, for an overview of the programming
- interfaces available.
- @node Additional Build Options
- @subsection Additional Build Options
- The command-line options presented below are specific to @command{guix
- build}.
- @table @code
- @item --quiet
- @itemx -q
- Build quietly, without displaying the build log; this is equivalent to
- @option{--verbosity=0}. Upon completion, the build log is kept in @file{/var}
- (or similar) and can always be retrieved using the @option{--log-file} option.
- @item --file=@var{file}
- @itemx -f @var{file}
- Build the package, derivation, or other file-like object that the code within
- @var{file} evaluates to (@pxref{G-Expressions, file-like objects}).
- As an example, @var{file} might contain a package definition like this
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}):
- @lisp
- @include package-hello.scm
- @end lisp
- The @var{file} may also contain a JSON representation of one or more
- package definitions. Running @code{guix build -f} on @file{hello.json}
- with the following contents would result in building the packages
- @code{myhello} and @code{greeter}:
- @example
- @verbatiminclude package-hello.json
- @end example
- @item --manifest=@var{manifest}
- @itemx -m @var{manifest}
- Build all packages listed in the given @var{manifest}
- (@pxref{profile-manifest, @option{--manifest}}).
- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Build the package or derivation @var{expr} evaluates to.
- For example, @var{expr} may be @code{(@@ (gnu packages guile)
- guile-1.8)}, which unambiguously designates this specific variant of
- version 1.8 of Guile.
- Alternatively, @var{expr} may be a G-expression, in which case it is used
- as a build program passed to @code{gexp->derivation}
- (@pxref{G-Expressions}).
- Lastly, @var{expr} may refer to a zero-argument monadic procedure
- (@pxref{The Store Monad}). The procedure must return a derivation as a
- monadic value, which is then passed through @code{run-with-store}.
- @item --source
- @itemx -S
- Build the source derivations of the packages, rather than the packages
- themselves.
- For instance, @code{guix build -S gcc} returns something like
- @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2}, which is the GCC
- source tarball.
- The returned source tarball is the result of applying any patches and
- code snippets specified in the package @code{origin} (@pxref{Defining
- Packages}).
- @cindex source, verification
- As with other derivations, the result of building a source derivation
- can be verified using the @option{--check} option (@pxref{build-check}).
- This is useful to validate that a (potentially already built or
- substituted, thus cached) package source matches against its declared
- hash.
- Note that @command{guix build -S} compiles the sources only of the
- specified packages. They do not include the sources of statically
- linked dependencies and by themselves are insufficient for reproducing
- the packages.
- @item --sources
- Fetch and return the source of @var{package-or-derivation} and all their
- dependencies, recursively. This is a handy way to obtain a local copy
- of all the source code needed to build @var{packages}, allowing you to
- eventually build them even without network access. It is an extension
- of the @option{--source} option and can accept one of the following
- optional argument values:
- @table @code
- @item package
- This value causes the @option{--sources} option to behave in the same way
- as the @option{--source} option.
- @item all
- Build the source derivations of all packages, including any source that
- might be listed as @code{inputs}. This is the default value.
- @example
- $ guix build --sources tzdata
- The following derivations will be built:
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-tzdata2015b.tar.gz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-tzcode2015b.tar.gz.drv
- @end example
- @item transitive
- Build the source derivations of all packages, as well of all transitive
- inputs to the packages. This can be used e.g.@: to
- prefetch package source for later offline building.
- @example
- $ guix build --sources=transitive tzdata
- The following derivations will be built:
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-tzcode2015b.tar.gz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-findutils-4.4.2.tar.xz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-grep-2.21.tar.xz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23.tar.xz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-make-4.1.tar.xz.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-bash-4.3.tar.xz.drv
- @dots{}
- @end example
- @end table
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Attempt to build for @var{system}---e.g., @code{i686-linux}---instead of
- the system type of the build host. The @command{guix build} command allows
- you to repeat this option several times, in which case it builds for all the
- specified systems; other commands ignore extraneous @option{-s} options.
- @quotation Note
- The @option{--system} flag is for @emph{native} compilation and must not
- be confused with cross-compilation. See @option{--target} below for
- information on cross-compilation.
- @end quotation
- An example use of this is on Linux-based systems, which can emulate
- different personalities. For instance, passing
- @option{--system=i686-linux} on an @code{x86_64-linux} system or
- @option{--system=armhf-linux} on an @code{aarch64-linux} system allows
- you to build packages in a complete 32-bit environment.
- @quotation Note
- Building for an @code{armhf-linux} system is unconditionally enabled on
- @code{aarch64-linux} machines, although certain aarch64 chipsets do not
- allow for this functionality, notably the ThunderX.
- @end quotation
- Similarly, when transparent emulation with QEMU and @code{binfmt_misc}
- is enabled (@pxref{Virtualization Services,
- @code{qemu-binfmt-service-type}}), you can build for any system for
- which a QEMU @code{binfmt_misc} handler is installed.

- @item --log-file
- @cindex build logs, access
- Return the build log file names or URLs for the given

- This works regardless of how packages or derivations are specified. For
- instance, the following invocations are equivalent:
- @example
- guix build --log-file `guix build -d guile`
- guix build --log-file `guix build guile`
- guix build --log-file guile
- guix build --log-file -e '(@@ (gnu packages guile) guile-2.0)'
- @end example
- If a log is unavailable locally, and unless @option{--no-substitutes} is
- passed, the command looks for a corresponding log on one of the
- substitute servers (as specified with @option{--substitute-urls}).
- So for instance, imagine you want to see the build log of GDB on MIPS,
- but you are actually on an @code{x86_64} machine:
- @example
- $ guix build --log-file gdb -s aarch64-linux
- https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}/log/@dots{}-gdb-7.10
- @end example
- You can freely access a huge library of build logs!

- @node Debugging Build Failures
- @subsection Debugging Build Failures
- @cindex build failures, debugging
- When defining a new package (@pxref{Defining Packages}), you will
- probably find yourself spending some time debugging and tweaking the
- build until it succeeds. To do that, you need to operate the build
- commands yourself in an environment as close as possible to the one the
- build daemon uses.
- To that end, the first thing to do is to use the @option{--keep-failed}
- or @option{-K} option of @command{guix build}, which will keep the
- failed build tree in @file{/tmp} or whatever directory you specified as
- @env{TMPDIR} (@pxref{Invoking guix build, @option{--keep-failed}}).
- From there on, you can @command{cd} to the failed build tree and source
- the @file{environment-variables} file, which contains all the
- environment variable definitions that were in place when the build
- failed. So let's say you're debugging a build failure in package
- @code{foo}; a typical session would look like this:
- @example
- $ guix build foo -K
- @dots{} @i{build fails}
- $ cd /tmp/guix-build-foo.drv-0
- $ source ./environment-variables
- $ cd foo-1.2
- @end example
- Now, you can invoke commands as if you were the daemon (almost) and
- troubleshoot your build process.
- Sometimes it happens that, for example, a package's tests pass when you
- run them manually but they fail when the daemon runs them. This can
- happen because the daemon runs builds in containers where, unlike in our
- environment above, network access is missing, @file{/bin/sh} does not
- exist, etc. (@pxref{Build Environment Setup}).
- In such cases, you may need to run inspect the build process from within
- a container similar to the one the build daemon creates:
- @example
- $ guix build -K foo
- @dots{}
- $ cd /tmp/guix-build-foo.drv-0
- $ guix environment --no-grafts -C foo --ad-hoc strace gdb
- [env]# source ./environment-variables
- [env]# cd foo-1.2
- @end example
- Here, @command{guix environment -C} creates a container and spawns a new
- shell in it (@pxref{Invoking guix environment}). The @command{--ad-hoc
- strace gdb} part adds the @command{strace} and @command{gdb} commands to
- the container, which you may find handy while debugging. The
- @option{--no-grafts} option makes sure we get the exact same
- environment, with ungrafted packages (@pxref{Security Updates}, for more
- info on grafts).
- To get closer to a container like that used by the build daemon, we can
- remove @file{/bin/sh}:
- @example
- [env]# rm /bin/sh
- @end example
- (Don't worry, this is harmless: this is all happening in the throw-away
- container created by @command{guix environment}.)
- The @command{strace} command is probably not in the search path, but we
- can run:
- @example
- [env]# $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/bin/strace -f -o log make check
- @end example
- In this way, not only you will have reproduced the environment variables
- the daemon uses, you will also be running the build process in a container
- similar to the one the daemon uses.

- For instance:
- @example
- guix edit gcc@@4.9 vim
- @end example

- for packages currently in the store.
- Instead of @env{GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH}, the command-line option
- @option{--load-path=@var{directory}} (or in short @option{-L

- @node Invoking guix download
- @section Invoking @command{guix download}
- @cindex @command{guix download}
- @cindex downloading package sources
- When writing a package definition, developers typically need to download
- a source tarball, compute its SHA256 hash, and write that
- hash in the package definition (@pxref{Defining Packages}). The
- @command{guix download} tool helps with this task: it downloads a file
- from the given URI, adds it to the store, and prints both its file name
- in the store and its SHA256 hash.
- The fact that the downloaded file is added to the store saves bandwidth:
- when the developer eventually tries to build the newly defined package
- with @command{guix build}, the source tarball will not have to be
- downloaded again because it is already in the store. It is also a
- convenient way to temporarily stash files, which may be deleted
- eventually (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}).
- The @command{guix download} command supports the same URIs as used in
- package definitions. In particular, it supports @code{mirror://} URIs.
- @code{https} URIs (HTTP over TLS) are supported @emph{provided} the
- Guile bindings for GnuTLS are available in the user's environment; when
- they are not available, an error is raised. @xref{Guile Preparations,
- how to install the GnuTLS bindings for Guile,, gnutls-guile,
- GnuTLS-Guile}, for more information.
- @command{guix download} verifies HTTPS server certificates by loading
- the certificates of X.509 authorities from the directory pointed to by
- the @env{SSL_CERT_DIR} environment variable (@pxref{X.509
- Certificates}), unless @option{--no-check-certificate} is used.
- The following options are available:
- @table @code
- @item --hash=@var{algorithm}
- @itemx -H @var{algorithm}
- Compute a hash using the specified @var{algorithm}. @xref{Invoking guix
- hash}, for more information.
- @item --format=@var{fmt}
- @itemx -f @var{fmt}
- Write the hash in the format specified by @var{fmt}. For more
- information on the valid values for @var{fmt}, @pxref{Invoking guix hash}.
- @item --no-check-certificate
- Do not validate the X.509 certificates of HTTPS servers.
- When using this option, you have @emph{absolutely no guarantee} that you
- are communicating with the authentic server responsible for the given
- URL, which makes you vulnerable to ``man-in-the-middle'' attacks.

- The @command{guix hash} command computes the hash of a file.
- It is primarily a convenience tool for anyone contributing to the
- distribution: it computes the cryptographic hash of a file, which can be
- used in the definition of a package (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix hash @var{option} @var{file}
- @end example
- When @var{file} is @code{-} (a hyphen), @command{guix hash} computes the
- hash of data read from standard input. @command{guix hash} has the
- following options:
- @table @code
- @item --hash=@var{algorithm}
- @itemx -H @var{algorithm}
- Compute a hash using the specified @var{algorithm}, @code{sha256} by
- default.
- @var{algorithm} must the name of a cryptographic hash algorithm
- supported by Libgcrypt @i{via} Guile-Gcrypt---e.g., @code{sha512} or
- @code{sha3-256} (@pxref{Hash Functions,,, guile-gcrypt, Guile-Gcrypt
- Reference Manual}).
- @item --format=@var{fmt}
- @itemx -f @var{fmt}
- Write the hash in the format specified by @var{fmt}.
- Supported formats: @code{base64}, @code{nix-base32}, @code{base32}, @code{base16}
- (@code{hex} and @code{hexadecimal} can be used as well).
- If the @option{--format} option is not specified, @command{guix hash}
- will output the hash in @code{nix-base32}. This representation is used
- in the definitions of packages.
- @item --recursive
- @itemx -r
- Compute the hash on @var{file} recursively.
- In this case, the hash is computed on an archive containing @var{file},
- including its children if it is a directory. Some of the metadata of
- @var{file} is part of the archive; for instance, when @var{file} is a
- regular file, the hash is different depending on whether @var{file} is
- executable or not. Metadata such as time stamps has no impact on the
- hash (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}).
- @c FIXME: Replace xref above with xref to an ``Archive'' section when

- @itemx -x
- When combined with @option{--recursive}, exclude version control system

- The @command{guix import} command is useful for people who would like to
- add a package to the distribution with as little work as
- possible---a legitimate demand. The command knows of a few
- repositories from which it can ``import'' package metadata. The result
- is a package definition, or a template thereof, in the format we know
- (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix import @var{importer} @var{options}@dots{}
- @end example
- @var{importer} specifies the source from which to import package
- metadata, and @var{options} specifies a package identifier and other
- options specific to @var{importer}.
- Some of the importers rely on the ability to run the @command{gpgv} command.
- For these, GnuPG must be installed and in @code{$PATH}; run @code{guix install
- gnupg} if needed.
- Currently, the available ``importers'' are:
- @table @code
- @item gnu
- Import metadata for the given GNU package. This provides a template
- for the latest version of that GNU package, including the hash of its
- source tarball, and its canonical synopsis and description.
- Additional information such as the package dependencies and its
- license needs to be figured out manually.
- For example, the following command returns a package definition for
- GNU@tie{}Hello:
- @example
- guix import gnu hello
- @end example
- Specific command-line options are:
- @table @code
- @item --key-download=@var{policy}
- As for @command{guix refresh}, specify the policy to handle missing
- OpenPGP keys when verifying the package signature. @xref{Invoking guix
- refresh, @option{--key-download}}.
- @end table
- @item pypi
- @cindex pypi
- Import metadata from the @uref{https://pypi.python.org/, Python Package
- Index}. Information is taken from the JSON-formatted description
- available at @code{pypi.python.org} and usually includes all the relevant
- information, including package dependencies. For maximum efficiency, it
- is recommended to install the @command{unzip} utility, so that the
- importer can unzip Python wheels and gather data from them.
- The command below imports metadata for the @code{itsdangerous} Python
- package:
- @example
- guix import pypi itsdangerous

- Traverse the dependency graph of the given upstream package recursively
- and generate package expressions for all those packages that are not yet
- in Guix.
- @end table
- @item gem
- @cindex gem
- Import metadata from @uref{https://rubygems.org/, RubyGems}. Information
- is taken from the JSON-formatted description available at
- @code{rubygems.org} and includes most relevant information, including
- runtime dependencies. There are some caveats, however. The metadata
- doesn't distinguish between synopses and descriptions, so the same string
- is used for both fields. Additionally, the details of non-Ruby
- dependencies required to build native extensions is unavailable and left
- as an exercise to the packager.
- The command below imports metadata for the @code{rails} Ruby package:
- @example
- guix import gem rails
- @end example

- Import metadata from @uref{https://www.metacpan.org/, MetaCPAN}.
- Information is taken from the JSON-formatted metadata provided through
- @uref{https://fastapi.metacpan.org/, MetaCPAN's API} and includes most
- relevant information, such as module dependencies. License information
- should be checked closely. If Perl is available in the store, then the
- @code{corelist} utility will be used to filter core modules out of the
- list of dependencies.
- The command command below imports metadata for the Acme::Boolean Perl
- module:
- @example
- guix import cpan Acme::Boolean
- @end example
- @item cran
- @cindex CRAN
- @cindex Bioconductor
- Import metadata from @uref{https://cran.r-project.org/, CRAN}, the
- central repository for the @uref{https://r-project.org, GNU@tie{}R
- statistical and graphical environment}.
- Information is extracted from the @file{DESCRIPTION} file of the package.
- The command command below imports metadata for the Cairo R package:
- @example
- guix import cran Cairo
- @end example
- When @option{--recursive} is added, the importer will traverse the
- dependency graph of the given upstream package recursively and generate
- package expressions for all those packages that are not yet in Guix.
- When @option{--style=specification} is added, the importer will generate
- package definitions whose inputs are package specifications instead of
- references to package variables. This is useful when generated package
- definitions are to be appended to existing user modules, as the list of
- used package modules need not be changed. The default is
- @option{--style=variable}.
- When @option{--archive=bioconductor} is added, metadata is imported from
- @uref{https://www.bioconductor.org/, Bioconductor}, a repository of R
- packages for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput
- genomic data in bioinformatics.
- Information is extracted from the @file{DESCRIPTION} file contained in the
- package archive.
- The command below imports metadata for the GenomicRanges R package:
- @example
- guix import cran --archive=bioconductor GenomicRanges
- @end example
- Finally, you can also import R packages that have not yet been published on
- CRAN or Bioconductor as long as they are in a git repository. Use
- @option{--archive=git} followed by the URL of the git repository:
- @example
- guix import cran --archive=git https://github.com/immunogenomics/harmony
- @end example
- @item texlive
- @cindex TeX Live

- Import metadata from @uref{https://www.ctan.org/, CTAN}, the
- comprehensive TeX archive network for TeX packages that are part of the
- @uref{https://www.tug.org/texlive/, TeX Live distribution}.
- Information about the package is obtained through the XML API provided
- by CTAN, while the source code is downloaded from the SVN repository of
- the Tex Live project. This is done because the CTAN does not keep
- versioned archives.
- The command command below imports metadata for the @code{fontspec}
- TeX package:
- @example
- guix import texlive fontspec
- @end example
- When @option{--archive=@var{directory}} is added, the source code is
- downloaded not from the @file{latex} sub-directory of the
- @file{texmf-dist/source} tree in the TeX Live SVN repository, but from
- the specified sibling @var{directory} under the same root.
- The command below imports metadata for the @code{ifxetex} package from
- CTAN while fetching the sources from the directory
- @file{texmf/source/generic}:
- @example
- guix import texlive --archive=generic ifxetex
- @end example
- @item json

- @end example
- The field names are the same as for the @code{<package>} record
- (@xref{Defining Packages}). References to other packages are provided
- as JSON lists of quoted package specification strings such as
- @code{guile} or @code{guile@@2.0}.
- The importer also supports a more explicit source definition using the
- common fields for @code{<origin>} records:
- @example
- @{
- @dots{}
- "source": @{
- "method": "url-fetch",
- "uri": "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-2.10.tar.gz",

- @end example
- The command below reads metadata from the JSON file @code{hello.json}
- and outputs a package expression:
- @example
- guix import json hello.json
- @end example
- @item nix
- Import metadata from a local copy of the source of the
- @uref{https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/, Nixpkgs distribution}@footnote{This
- relies on the @command{nix-instantiate} command of
- @uref{https://nixos.org/nix/, Nix}.}. Package definitions in Nixpkgs are
- typically written in a mixture of Nix-language and Bash code. This
- command only imports the high-level package structure that is written in
- the Nix language. It normally includes all the basic fields of a
- package definition.
- When importing a GNU package, the synopsis and descriptions are replaced
- by their canonical upstream variant.
- Usually, you will first need to do:
- @example
- export NIX_REMOTE=daemon
- @end example
- @noindent
- so that @command{nix-instantiate} does not try to open the Nix database.
- As an example, the command below imports the package definition of
- LibreOffice (more precisely, it imports the definition of the package
- bound to the @code{libreoffice} top-level attribute):
- @example
- guix import nix ~/path/to/nixpkgs libreoffice
- @end example
- @item hackage

- @code{arch}, @code{impl} and a string representing the name of a flag.
- The value associated with a flag has to be either the symbol
- @code{true} or @code{false}. The value associated with other keys
- has to conform to the Cabal file format definition. The default value
- associated with the keys @code{os}, @code{arch} and @code{impl} is
- @samp{linux}, @samp{x86_64} and @samp{ghc}, respectively.

- @node Invoking guix refresh
- @section Invoking @command{guix refresh}
- @cindex @command {guix refresh}
- The primary audience of the @command{guix refresh} command is developers
- of the GNU software distribution. By default, it reports any packages
- provided by the distribution that are outdated compared to the latest
- upstream version, like this:
- @example
- $ guix refresh
- gnu/packages/gettext.scm:29:13: gettext would be upgraded from 0.18.1.1 to 0.18.2.1
- gnu/packages/glib.scm:77:12: glib would be upgraded from 2.34.3 to 2.37.0
- @end example
- Alternatively, one can specify packages to consider, in which case a
- warning is emitted for packages that lack an updater:
- @example
- $ guix refresh coreutils guile guile-ssh
- gnu/packages/ssh.scm:205:2: warning: no updater for guile-ssh
- gnu/packages/guile.scm:136:12: guile would be upgraded from 2.0.12 to 2.0.13
- @end example
- @command{guix refresh} browses the upstream repository of each package and determines
- the highest version number of the releases therein. The command
- knows how to update specific types of packages: GNU packages, ELPA
- packages, etc.---see the documentation for @option{--type} below. There
- are many packages, though, for which it lacks a method to determine
- whether a new upstream release is available. However, the mechanism is
- extensible, so feel free to get in touch with us to add a new method!
- @table @code
- @item --recursive
- Consider the packages specified, and all the packages upon which they depend.
- @example
- $ guix refresh --recursive coreutils
- gnu/packages/acl.scm:35:2: warning: no updater for acl
- gnu/packages/m4.scm:30:12: info: 1.4.18 is already the latest version of m4
- gnu/packages/xml.scm:68:2: warning: no updater for expat
- gnu/packages/multiprecision.scm:40:12: info: 6.1.2 is already the latest version of gmp
- @dots{}
- @end example
- @end table
- Sometimes the upstream name differs from the package name used in Guix,
- and @command{guix refresh} needs a little help. Most updaters honor the
- @code{upstream-name} property in package definitions, which can be used
- to that effect:
- @lisp
- (define-public network-manager
- (package
- (name "network-manager")
- ;; @dots{}
- (properties '((upstream-name . "NetworkManager")))))
- @end lisp
- When passed @option{--update}, it modifies distribution source files to
- update the version numbers and source tarball hashes of those package
- recipes (@pxref{Defining Packages}). This is achieved by downloading
- each package's latest source tarball and its associated OpenPGP
- signature, authenticating the downloaded tarball against its signature
- using @command{gpgv}, and finally computing its hash---note that GnuPG must be
- installed and in @code{$PATH}; run @code{guix install gnupg} if needed.
- When the public
- key used to sign the tarball is missing from the user's keyring, an
- attempt is made to automatically retrieve it from a public key server;
- when this is successful, the key is added to the user's keyring; otherwise,
- @command{guix refresh} reports an error.
- The following options are supported:
- @table @code
- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Consider the package @var{expr} evaluates to.
- This is useful to precisely refer to a package, as in this example:
- @example
- guix refresh -l -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement) glibc-final)'
- @end example
- This command lists the dependents of the ``final'' libc (essentially all
- the packages).
- @item --update
- @itemx -u
- Update distribution source files (package recipes) in place. This is
- usually run from a checkout of the Guix source tree (@pxref{Running
- Guix Before It Is Installed}):
- @example
- $ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -s non-core -u
- @end example
- @xref{Defining Packages}, for more information on package definitions.
- @item --select=[@var{subset}]
- @itemx -s @var{subset}
- Select all the packages in @var{subset}, one of @code{core} or
- @code{non-core}.
- The @code{core} subset refers to all the packages at the core of the
- distribution---i.e., packages that are used to build ``everything
- else''. This includes GCC, libc, Binutils, Bash, etc. Usually,
- changing one of these packages in the distribution entails a rebuild of
- all the others. Thus, such updates are an inconvenience to users in
- terms of build time or bandwidth used to achieve the upgrade.
- The @code{non-core} subset refers to the remaining packages. It is
- typically useful in cases where an update of the core packages would be
- inconvenient.
- @item --manifest=@var{file}
- @itemx -m @var{file}
- Select all the packages from the manifest in @var{file}. This is useful to
- check if any packages of the user manifest can be updated.
- @item --type=@var{updater}
- @itemx -t @var{updater}
- Select only packages handled by @var{updater} (may be a comma-separated
- list of updaters). Currently, @var{updater} may be one of:
- @table @code
- @item gnu
- the updater for GNU packages;
- @item savannah
- the updater for packages hosted at @uref{https://savannah.gnu.org, Savannah};
- @item gnome
- the updater for GNOME packages;
- @item kde
- the updater for KDE packages;
- @item xorg
- the updater for X.org packages;

- @end table
- For instance, the following command only checks for updates of Emacs
- packages hosted at @code{elpa.gnu.org} and for updates of CRAN packages:
- @example
- $ guix refresh --type=elpa,cran
- gnu/packages/statistics.scm:819:13: r-testthat would be upgraded from 0.10.0 to 0.11.0
- gnu/packages/emacs.scm:856:13: emacs-auctex would be upgraded from 11.88.6 to 11.88.9
- @end example
- @end table
- In addition, @command{guix refresh} can be passed one or more package
- names, as in this example:
- @example
- $ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u emacs idutils gcc@@4.8
- @end example
- @noindent
- The command above specifically updates the @code{emacs} and
- @code{idutils} packages. The @option{--select} option would have no
- effect in this case.
- When considering whether to upgrade a package, it is sometimes
- convenient to know which packages would be affected by the upgrade and
- should be checked for compatibility. For this the following option may
- be used when passing @command{guix refresh} one or more package names:
- @table @code
- @item --list-updaters
- @itemx -L
- List available updaters and exit (see @option{--type} above).
- For each updater, display the fraction of packages it covers; at the
- end, display the fraction of packages covered by all these updaters.
- @item --list-dependent
- @itemx -l
- List top-level dependent packages that would need to be rebuilt as a
- result of upgrading one or more packages.
- @xref{Invoking guix graph, the @code{reverse-package} type of
- @command{guix graph}}, for information on how to visualize the list of
- dependents of a package.
- @end table
- Be aware that the @option{--list-dependent} option only
- @emph{approximates} the rebuilds that would be required as a result of
- an upgrade. More rebuilds might be required under some circumstances.
- @example
- $ guix refresh --list-dependent flex
- Building the following 120 packages would ensure 213 dependent packages are rebuilt:
- hop@@2.4.0 geiser@@0.4 notmuch@@0.18 mu@@0.9.9.5 cflow@@1.4 idutils@@4.6 @dots{}
- @end example
- The command above lists a set of packages that could be built to check
- for compatibility with an upgraded @code{flex} package.
- @table @code
- @item --list-transitive
- List all the packages which one or more packages depend upon.
- @example
- $ guix refresh --list-transitive flex
- flex@@2.6.4 depends on the following 25 packages: perl@@5.28.0 help2man@@1.47.6
- bison@@3.0.5 indent@@2.2.10 tar@@1.30 gzip@@1.9 bzip2@@1.0.6 xz@@5.2.4 file@@5.33 @dots{}
- @end example
- @end table
- The command above lists a set of packages which, when changed, would cause
- @code{flex} to be rebuilt.
- The following options can be used to customize GnuPG operation:
- @table @code
- @item --gpg=@var{command}
- Use @var{command} as the GnuPG 2.x command. @var{command} is searched
- for in @code{$PATH}.
- @item --keyring=@var{file}
- Use @var{file} as the keyring for upstream keys. @var{file} must be in the
- @dfn{keybox format}. Keybox files usually have a name ending in @file{.kbx}
- and the GNU@tie{}Privacy Guard (GPG) can manipulate these files
- (@pxref{kbxutil, @command{kbxutil},, gnupg, Using the GNU Privacy Guard}, for
- information on a tool to manipulate keybox files).
- When this option is omitted, @command{guix refresh} uses
- @file{~/.config/guix/upstream/trustedkeys.kbx} as the keyring for upstream
- signing keys. OpenPGP signatures are checked against keys from this keyring;
- missing keys are downloaded to this keyring as well (see
- @option{--key-download} below).
- You can export keys from your default GPG keyring into a keybox file using
- commands like this one:
- @example
- gpg --export rms@@gnu.org | kbxutil --import-openpgp >> mykeyring.kbx
- @end example
- Likewise, you can fetch keys to a specific keybox file like this:
- @example
- gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring mykeyring.kbx \
- --recv-keys @value{OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID}
- @end example
- @ref{GPG Configuration Options, @option{--keyring},, gnupg, Using the GNU
- Privacy Guard}, for more information on GPG's @option{--keyring} option.
- @item --key-download=@var{policy}
- Handle missing OpenPGP keys according to @var{policy}, which may be one
- of:
- @table @code
- @item always
- Always download missing OpenPGP keys from the key server, and add them
- to the user's GnuPG keyring.
- @item never
- Never try to download missing OpenPGP keys. Instead just bail out.
- @item interactive
- When a package signed with an unknown OpenPGP key is encountered, ask
- the user whether to download it or not. This is the default behavior.
- @end table
- @item --key-server=@var{host}
- Use @var{host} as the OpenPGP key server when importing a public key.
- @item --load-path=@var{directory}
- Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- This allows users to define their own packages and make them visible to
- the command-line tools.
- @end table
- The @code{github} updater uses the
- @uref{https://developer.github.com/v3/, GitHub API} to query for new
- releases. When used repeatedly e.g.@: when refreshing all packages,
- GitHub will eventually refuse to answer any further API requests. By
- default 60 API requests per hour are allowed, and a full refresh on all
- GitHub packages in Guix requires more than this. Authentication with
- GitHub through the use of an API token alleviates these limits. To use
- an API token, set the environment variable @env{GUIX_GITHUB_TOKEN} to a
- token procured from @uref{https://github.com/settings/tokens} or
- otherwise.

- @itemx mirror-url
- @itemx github-url
- @itemx source-file-name
- Probe @code{home-page} and @code{source} URLs and report those that are
- invalid. Suggest a @code{mirror://} URL when applicable. If the
- @code{source} URL redirects to a GitHub URL, recommend usage of the GitHub
- URL@. Check that the source file name is meaningful, e.g.@: is not just a
- version number or ``git-checkout'', without a declared @code{file-name}
- (@pxref{origin Reference}).
- @item source-unstable-tarball
- Parse the @code{source} URL to determine if a tarball from GitHub is
- autogenerated or if it is a release tarball. Unfortunately GitHub's
- autogenerated tarballs are sometimes regenerated.
- @item derivation
- Check that the derivation of the given packages can be successfully
- computed for all the supported systems (@pxref{Derivations}).
- @item profile-collisions
- Check whether installing the given packages in a profile would lead to
- collisions. Collisions occur when several packages with the same name
- but a different version or a different store file name are propagated.
- @xref{package Reference, @code{propagated-inputs}}, for more information

- @item archival
- @cindex Software Heritage, source code archive
- @cindex archival of source code, Software Heritage
- Checks whether the package's source code is archived at
- @uref{https://www.softwareheritage.org, Software Heritage}.
- When the source code that is not archived comes from a version-control system
- (VCS)---e.g., it's obtained with @code{git-fetch}, send Software Heritage a
- ``save'' request so that it eventually archives it. This ensures that the
- source will remain available in the long term, and that Guix can fall back to
- Software Heritage should the source code disappear from its original host.
- The status of recent ``save'' requests can be
- @uref{https://archive.softwareheritage.org/save/#requests, viewed on-line}.
- When source code is a tarball obtained with @code{url-fetch}, simply print a
- message when it is not archived. As of this writing, Software Heritage does
- not allow requests to save arbitrary tarballs; we are working on ways to
- ensure that non-VCS source code is also archived.
- Software Heritage
- @uref{https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/#rate-limiting, limits the

- @node Invoking guix size
- @section Invoking @command{guix size}
- @cindex size
- @cindex package size
- @cindex closure
- @cindex @command{guix size}
- The @command{guix size} command helps package developers profile the
- disk usage of packages. It is easy to overlook the impact of an
- additional dependency added to a package, or the impact of using a
- single output for a package that could easily be split (@pxref{Packages
- with Multiple Outputs}). Such are the typical issues that
- @command{guix size} can highlight.
- The command can be passed one or more package specifications
- such as @code{gcc@@4.8}
- or @code{guile:debug}, or a file name in the store. Consider this
- example:
- @example
- $ guix size coreutils
- store item total self
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-gcc-5.5.0-lib 60.4 30.1 38.1%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-glibc-2.27 30.3 28.8 36.6%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.28 78.9 15.0 19.0%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-gmp-6.1.2 63.1 2.7 3.4%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-bash-static-4.4.12 1.5 1.5 1.9%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-acl-2.2.52 61.1 0.4 0.5%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-attr-2.4.47 60.6 0.2 0.3%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libcap-2.25 60.5 0.2 0.2%
- total: 78.9 MiB
- @end example
- @cindex closure
- The store items listed here constitute the @dfn{transitive closure} of
- Coreutils---i.e., Coreutils and all its dependencies, recursively---as
- would be returned by:
- @example
- $ guix gc -R /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23
- @end example
- Here the output shows three columns next to store items. The first column,
- labeled ``total'', shows the size in mebibytes (MiB) of the closure of
- the store item---that is, its own size plus the size of all its
- dependencies. The next column, labeled ``self'', shows the size of the
- item itself. The last column shows the ratio of the size of the item
- itself to the space occupied by all the items listed here.
- In this example, we see that the closure of Coreutils weighs in at
- 79@tie{}MiB, most of which is taken by libc and GCC's run-time support
- libraries. (That libc and GCC's libraries represent a large fraction of
- the closure is not a problem @i{per se} because they are always available
- on the system anyway.)
- Since the command also accepts store file names, assessing the size of
- a build result is straightforward:
- @example
- guix size $(guix system build config.scm)
- @end example
- When the package(s) passed to @command{guix size} are available in the
- store@footnote{More precisely, @command{guix size} looks for the
- @emph{ungrafted} variant of the given package(s), as returned by
- @code{guix build @var{package} --no-grafts}. @xref{Security Updates},
- for information on grafts.}, @command{guix size} queries the daemon to determine its
- dependencies, and measures its size in the store, similar to @command{du
- -ms --apparent-size} (@pxref{du invocation,,, coreutils, GNU
- Coreutils}).
- When the given packages are @emph{not} in the store, @command{guix size}
- reports information based on the available substitutes
- (@pxref{Substitutes}). This makes it possible it to profile disk usage of
- store items that are not even on disk, only available remotely.
- You can also specify several package names:
- @example
- $ guix size coreutils grep sed bash
- store item total self
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.24 77.8 13.8 13.4%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-grep-2.22 73.1 0.8 0.8%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-bash-4.3.42 72.3 4.7 4.6%
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-readline-6.3 67.6 1.2 1.2%
- @dots{}
- total: 102.3 MiB
- @end example
- @noindent
- In this example we see that the combination of the four packages takes
- 102.3@tie{}MiB in total, which is much less than the sum of each closure
- since they have a lot of dependencies in common.
- When looking at the profile returned by @command{guix size}, you may
- find yourself wondering why a given package shows up in the profile at
- all. To understand it, you can use @command{guix graph --path -t
- references} to display the shortest path between the two packages
- (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}).
- The available options are:
- @table @option
- @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
- Use substitute information from @var{urls}.
- @xref{client-substitute-urls, the same option for @code{guix build}}.
- @item --sort=@var{key}
- Sort lines according to @var{key}, one of the following options:
- @table @code
- @item self
- the size of each item (the default);
- @item closure
- the total size of the item's closure.
- @end table
- @item --map-file=@var{file}
- Write a graphical map of disk usage in PNG format to @var{file}.
- For the example above, the map looks like this:
- @image{images/coreutils-size-map,5in,, map of Coreutils disk usage
- produced by @command{guix size}}
- This option requires that
- @uref{https://wingolog.org/software/guile-charting/, Guile-Charting} be
- installed and visible in Guile's module search path. When that is not
- the case, @command{guix size} fails as it tries to load it.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Consider packages for @var{system}---e.g., @code{x86_64-linux}.
- @item --load-path=@var{directory}
- @itemx -L @var{directory}
- Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).

- @cindex DAG
- @cindex @command{guix graph}
- @cindex package dependencies
- Packages and their dependencies form a @dfn{graph}, specifically a
- directed acyclic graph (DAG). It can quickly become difficult to have a
- mental model of the package DAG, so the @command{guix graph} command
- provides a visual representation of the DAG@. By default,
- @command{guix graph} emits a DAG representation in the input format of
- @uref{https://www.graphviz.org/, Graphviz}, so its output can be passed
- directly to the @command{dot} command of Graphviz. It can also emit an
- HTML page with embedded JavaScript code to display a ``chord diagram''
- in a Web browser, using the @uref{https://d3js.org/, d3.js} library, or
- emit Cypher queries to construct a graph in a graph database supporting
- the @uref{https://www.opencypher.org/, openCypher} query language. With
- @option{--path}, it simply displays the shortest path between two
- packages. The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix graph @var{options} @var{package}@dots{}
- @end example
- For example, the following command generates a PDF file representing the
- package DAG for the GNU@tie{}Core Utilities, showing its build-time
- dependencies:
- @example
- guix graph coreutils | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf
- @end example
- The output looks like this:
- @image{images/coreutils-graph,2in,,Dependency graph of the GNU Coreutils}
- Nice little graph, no?
- You may find it more pleasant to navigate the graph interactively with
- @command{xdot} (from the @code{xdot} package):
- @example
- guix graph coreutils | xdot -
- @end example
- But there is more than one graph! The one above is concise: it is the
- graph of package objects, omitting implicit inputs such as GCC, libc,
- grep, etc. It is often useful to have such a concise graph, but
- sometimes one may want to see more details. @command{guix graph} supports
- several types of graphs, allowing you to choose the level of detail:
- @table @code
- @item package
- This is the default type used in the example above. It shows the DAG of
- package objects, excluding implicit dependencies. It is concise, but
- filters out many details.
- @item reverse-package
- This shows the @emph{reverse} DAG of packages. For example:
- @example
- guix graph --type=reverse-package ocaml
- @end example
- ...@: yields the graph of packages that @emph{explicitly} depend on OCaml (if
- you are also interested in cases where OCaml is an implicit dependency, see
- @code{reverse-bag} below).
- Note that for core packages this can yield huge graphs. If all you want
- is to know the number of packages that depend on a given package, use
- @command{guix refresh --list-dependent} (@pxref{Invoking guix refresh,
- @option{--list-dependent}}).
- @item bag-emerged
- This is the package DAG, @emph{including} implicit inputs.
- For instance, the following command:
- @example
- guix graph --type=bag-emerged coreutils
- @end example
- ...@: yields this bigger graph:
- @image{images/coreutils-bag-graph,,5in,Detailed dependency graph of the GNU Coreutils}
- At the bottom of the graph, we see all the implicit inputs of
- @var{gnu-build-system} (@pxref{Build Systems, @code{gnu-build-system}}).
- Now, note that the dependencies of these implicit inputs---that is, the
- @dfn{bootstrap dependencies} (@pxref{Bootstrapping})---are not shown
- here, for conciseness.
- @item bag
- Similar to @code{bag-emerged}, but this time including all the bootstrap
- dependencies.
- @item bag-with-origins
- Similar to @code{bag}, but also showing origins and their dependencies.
- @item reverse-bag
- This shows the @emph{reverse} DAG of packages. Unlike @code{reverse-package},
- it also takes implicit dependencies into account. For example:
- @example
- guix graph -t reverse-bag dune
- @end example
- @noindent
- ...@: yields the graph of all packages that depend on Dune, directly or
- indirectly. Since Dune is an @emph{implicit} dependency of many packages
- @i{via} @code{dune-build-system}, this shows a large number of packages,
- whereas @code{reverse-package} would show very few if any.
- @item derivation
- This is the most detailed representation: It shows the DAG of
- derivations (@pxref{Derivations}) and plain store items. Compared to
- the above representation, many additional nodes are visible, including
- build scripts, patches, Guile modules, etc.
- For this type of graph, it is also possible to pass a @file{.drv} file
- name instead of a package name, as in:
- @example
- guix graph -t derivation `guix system build -d my-config.scm`
- @end example
- @item module
- This is the graph of @dfn{package modules} (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- For example, the following command shows the graph for the package
- module that defines the @code{guile} package:
- @example
- guix graph -t module guile | xdot -
- @end example
- @end table
- All the types above correspond to @emph{build-time dependencies}. The
- following graph type represents the @emph{run-time dependencies}:
- @table @code
- @item references
- This is the graph of @dfn{references} of a package output, as returned
- by @command{guix gc --references} (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}).
- If the given package output is not available in the store, @command{guix
- graph} attempts to obtain dependency information from substitutes.
- Here you can also pass a store file name instead of a package name. For
- example, the command below produces the reference graph of your profile
- (which can be big!):
- @example
- guix graph -t references `readlink -f ~/.guix-profile`
- @end example
- @item referrers
- This is the graph of the @dfn{referrers} of a store item, as returned by
- @command{guix gc --referrers} (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}).
- This relies exclusively on local information from your store. For
- instance, let us suppose that the current Inkscape is available in 10
- profiles on your machine; @command{guix graph -t referrers inkscape}
- will show a graph rooted at Inkscape and with those 10 profiles linked
- to it.
- It can help determine what is preventing a store item from being garbage
- collected.
- @end table
- @cindex shortest path, between packages
- Often, the graph of the package you are interested in does not fit on
- your screen, and anyway all you want to know is @emph{why} that package
- actually depends on some seemingly unrelated package. The
- @option{--path} option instructs @command{guix graph} to display the
- shortest path between two packages (or derivations, or store items,
- etc.):
- @example
- $ guix graph --path emacs libunistring
- emacs@@26.3
- mailutils@@3.9
- libunistring@@0.9.10
- $ guix graph --path -t derivation emacs libunistring
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-emacs-26.3.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-mailutils-3.9.drv
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libunistring-0.9.10.drv
- $ guix graph --path -t references emacs libunistring
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-emacs-26.3
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libidn2-2.2.0
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libunistring-0.9.10
- @end example
- The available options are the following:
- @table @option
- @item --type=@var{type}
- @itemx -t @var{type}
- Produce a graph output of @var{type}, where @var{type} must be one of
- the values listed above.
- @item --list-types
- List the supported graph types.
- @item --backend=@var{backend}
- @itemx -b @var{backend}
- Produce a graph using the selected @var{backend}.
- @item --list-backends
- List the supported graph backends.
- Currently, the available backends are Graphviz and d3.js.
- @item --path
- Display the shortest path between two nodes of the type specified by
- @option{--type}. The example below shows the shortest path between
- @code{libreoffice} and @code{llvm} according to the references of
- @code{libreoffice}:
- @example
- $ guix graph --path -t references libreoffice llvm
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libreoffice-6.4.2.2
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-libepoxy-1.5.4
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-mesa-19.3.4
- /gnu/store/@dots{}-llvm-9.0.1
- @end example
- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Consider the package @var{expr} evaluates to.
- This is useful to precisely refer to a package, as in this example:
- @example
- guix graph -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-final)'
- @end example
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Display the graph for @var{system}---e.g., @code{i686-linux}.
- The package dependency graph is largely architecture-independent, but there
- are some architecture-dependent bits that this option allows you to visualize.
- @item --load-path=@var{directory}
- @itemx -L @var{directory}
- Add @var{directory} to the front of the package module search path
- (@pxref{Package Modules}).
- This allows users to define their own packages and make them visible to
- the command-line tools.
- @end table
- On top of that, @command{guix graph} supports all the usual package
- transformation options (@pxref{Package Transformation Options}). This
- makes it easy to view the effect of a graph-rewriting transformation
- such as @option{--with-input}. For example, the command below outputs
- the graph of @code{git} once @code{openssl} has been replaced by
- @code{libressl} everywhere in the graph:
- @example
- guix graph git --with-input=openssl=libressl
- @end example
- So many possibilities, so much fun!
- @node Invoking guix publish
- @section Invoking @command{guix publish}
- @cindex @command{guix publish}
- The purpose of @command{guix publish} is to enable users to easily share
- their store with others, who can then use it as a substitute server
- (@pxref{Substitutes}).
- When @command{guix publish} runs, it spawns an HTTP server which allows
- anyone with network access to obtain substitutes from it. This means
- that any machine running Guix can also act as if it were a build farm,
- since the HTTP interface is compatible with Cuirass, the software behind
- the @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} build farm.
- For security, each substitute is signed, allowing recipients to check
- their authenticity and integrity (@pxref{Substitutes}). Because
- @command{guix publish} uses the signing key of the system, which is only
- readable by the system administrator, it must be started as root; the
- @option{--user} option makes it drop root privileges early on.
- The signing key pair must be generated before @command{guix publish} is
- launched, using @command{guix archive --generate-key} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix archive}).
- When the @option{--advertise} option is passed, the server advertises
- its availability on the local network using multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS
- service discovery (DNS-SD), currently @i{via} Guile-Avahi (@pxref{Top,,,
- guile-avahi, Using Avahi in Guile Scheme Programs}).
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix publish @var{options}@dots{}
- @end example
- Running @command{guix publish} without any additional arguments will
- spawn an HTTP server on port 8080:
- @example
- guix publish
- @end example
- Once a publishing server has been authorized, the daemon may download
- substitutes from it. @xref{Getting Substitutes from Other Servers}.
- By default, @command{guix publish} compresses archives on the fly as it
- serves them. This ``on-the-fly'' mode is convenient in that it requires
- no setup and is immediately available. However, when serving lots of
- clients, we recommend using the @option{--cache} option, which enables
- caching of the archives before they are sent to clients---see below for
- details. The @command{guix weather} command provides a handy way to
- check what a server provides (@pxref{Invoking guix weather}).
- As a bonus, @command{guix publish} also serves as a content-addressed
- mirror for source files referenced in @code{origin} records
- (@pxref{origin Reference}). For instance, assuming @command{guix
- publish} is running on @code{example.org}, the following URL returns the
- raw @file{hello-2.10.tar.gz} file with the given SHA256 hash
- (represented in @code{nix-base32} format, @pxref{Invoking guix hash}):
- @example
- http://example.org/file/hello-2.10.tar.gz/sha256/0ssi1@dots{}ndq1i
- @end example
- Obviously, these URLs only work for files that are in the store; in
- other cases, they return 404 (``Not Found'').
- @cindex build logs, publication
- Build logs are available from @code{/log} URLs like:
- @example
- http://example.org/log/gwspk@dots{}-guile-2.2.3
- @end example
- @noindent
- When @command{guix-daemon} is configured to save compressed build logs,
- as is the case by default (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}), @code{/log}
- URLs return the compressed log as-is, with an appropriate
- @code{Content-Type} and/or @code{Content-Encoding} header. We recommend
- running @command{guix-daemon} with @option{--log-compression=gzip} since
- Web browsers can automatically decompress it, which is not the case with
- Bzip2 compression.
- The following options are available:
- @table @code
- @item --port=@var{port}
- @itemx -p @var{port}
- Listen for HTTP requests on @var{port}.
- @item --listen=@var{host}
- Listen on the network interface for @var{host}. The default is to
- accept connections from any interface.
- @item --user=@var{user}
- @itemx -u @var{user}
- Change privileges to @var{user} as soon as possible---i.e., once the
- server socket is open and the signing key has been read.
- @item --compression[=@var{method}[:@var{level}]]
- @itemx -C [@var{method}[:@var{level}]]
- Compress data using the given @var{method} and @var{level}. @var{method} is
- one of @code{lzip}, @code{zstd}, and @code{gzip}; when @var{method} is
- omitted, @code{gzip} is used.
- When @var{level} is zero, disable compression. The range 1 to 9 corresponds
- to different compression levels: 1 is the fastest, and 9 is the best
- (CPU-intensive). The default is 3.
- Usually, @code{lzip} compresses noticeably better than @code{gzip} for a
- small increase in CPU usage; see
- @uref{https://nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html,benchmarks on the lzip
- Web page}. However, @code{lzip} achieves low decompression throughput
- (on the order of 50@tie{}MiB/s on modern hardware), which can be a
- bottleneck for someone who downloads over a fast network connection.
- The compression ratio of @code{zstd} is between that of @code{lzip} and
- that of @code{gzip}; its main advantage is a
- @uref{https://facebook.github.io/zstd/,high decompression speed}.
- Unless @option{--cache} is used, compression occurs on the fly and
- the compressed streams are not
- cached. Thus, to reduce load on the machine that runs @command{guix
- publish}, it may be a good idea to choose a low compression level, to
- run @command{guix publish} behind a caching proxy, or to use
- @option{--cache}. Using @option{--cache} has the advantage that it
- allows @command{guix publish} to add @code{Content-Length} HTTP header
- to its responses.
- This option can be repeated, in which case every substitute gets compressed
- using all the selected methods, and all of them are advertised. This is
- useful when users may not support all the compression methods: they can select
- the one they support.
- @item --cache=@var{directory}
- @itemx -c @var{directory}
- Cache archives and meta-data (@code{.narinfo} URLs) to @var{directory}
- and only serve archives that are in cache.
- When this option is omitted, archives and meta-data are created
- on-the-fly. This can reduce the available bandwidth, especially when
- compression is enabled, since this may become CPU-bound. Another
- drawback of the default mode is that the length of archives is not known
- in advance, so @command{guix publish} does not add a
- @code{Content-Length} HTTP header to its responses, which in turn
- prevents clients from knowing the amount of data being downloaded.
- Conversely, when @option{--cache} is used, the first request for a store
- item (@i{via} a @code{.narinfo} URL) triggers a
- background process to @dfn{bake} the archive---computing its
- @code{.narinfo} and compressing the archive, if needed. Once the
- archive is cached in @var{directory}, subsequent requests succeed and
- are served directly from the cache, which guarantees that clients get
- the best possible bandwidth.
- That first @code{.narinfo} request nonetheless returns 200, provided the
- requested store item is ``small enough'', below the cache bypass
- threshold---see @option{--cache-bypass-threshold} below. That way,
- clients do not have to wait until the archive is baked. For larger
- store items, the first @code{.narinfo} request returns 404, meaning that
- clients have to wait until the archive is baked.
- The ``baking'' process is performed by worker threads. By default, one
- thread per CPU core is created, but this can be customized. See
- @option{--workers} below.
- When @option{--ttl} is used, cached entries are automatically deleted
- when they have expired.
- @item --workers=@var{N}
- When @option{--cache} is used, request the allocation of @var{N} worker
- threads to ``bake'' archives.
- @item --ttl=@var{ttl}
- Produce @code{Cache-Control} HTTP headers that advertise a time-to-live
- (TTL) of @var{ttl}. @var{ttl} must denote a duration: @code{5d} means 5
- days, @code{1m} means 1 month, and so on.
- This allows the user's Guix to keep substitute information in cache for
- @var{ttl}. However, note that @code{guix publish} does not itself
- guarantee that the store items it provides will indeed remain available
- for as long as @var{ttl}.
- Additionally, when @option{--cache} is used, cached entries that have
- not been accessed for @var{ttl} and that no longer have a corresponding
- item in the store, may be deleted.
- @item --cache-bypass-threshold=@var{size}
- When used in conjunction with @option{--cache}, store items smaller than
- @var{size} are immediately available, even when they are not yet in
- cache. @var{size} is a size in bytes, or it can be suffixed by @code{M}
- for megabytes and so on. The default is @code{10M}.
- ``Cache bypass'' allows you to reduce the publication delay for clients
- at the expense of possibly additional I/O and CPU use on the server
- side: depending on the client access patterns, those store items can end
- up being baked several times until a copy is available in cache.
- Increasing the threshold may be useful for sites that have few users, or
- to guarantee that users get substitutes even for store items that are
- not popular.
- @item --nar-path=@var{path}
- Use @var{path} as the prefix for the URLs of ``nar'' files
- (@pxref{Invoking guix archive, normalized archives}).
- By default, nars are served at a URL such as
- @code{/nar/gzip/@dots{}-coreutils-8.25}. This option allows you to
- change the @code{/nar} part to @var{path}.
- @item --public-key=@var{file}
- @itemx --private-key=@var{file}
- Use the specific @var{file}s as the public/private key pair used to sign
- the store items being published.
- The files must correspond to the same key pair (the private key is used
- for signing and the public key is merely advertised in the signature
- metadata). They must contain keys in the canonical s-expression format
- as produced by @command{guix archive --generate-key} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix archive}). By default, @file{/etc/guix/signing-key.pub} and
- @file{/etc/guix/signing-key.sec} are used.
- @item --repl[=@var{port}]
- @itemx -r [@var{port}]
- Spawn a Guile REPL server (@pxref{REPL Servers,,, guile, GNU Guile
- Reference Manual}) on @var{port} (37146 by default). This is used
- primarily for debugging a running @command{guix publish} server.
- @end table
- Enabling @command{guix publish} on Guix System is a one-liner: just
- instantiate a @code{guix-publish-service-type} service in the @code{services} field
- of the @code{operating-system} declaration (@pxref{guix-publish-service-type,
- @code{guix-publish-service-type}}).
- If you are instead running Guix on a ``foreign distro'', follow these
- instructions:
- @itemize
- @item
- If your host distro uses the systemd init system:
- @example
- # ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/systemd/system/guix-publish.service \
- /etc/systemd/system/
- # systemctl start guix-publish && systemctl enable guix-publish
- @end example
- @item
- If your host distro uses the Upstart init system:
- @example
- # ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-publish.conf /etc/init/
- # start guix-publish

- @item
- Otherwise, proceed similarly with your distro's init system.

- @cindex challenge
- Do the binaries provided by this server really correspond to the source
- code it claims to build? Is a package build process deterministic?
- These are the questions the @command{guix challenge} command attempts to
- answer.
- The former is obviously an important question: Before using a substitute
- server (@pxref{Substitutes}), one had better @emph{verify} that it
- provides the right binaries, and thus @emph{challenge} it. The latter
- is what enables the former: If package builds are deterministic, then
- independent builds of the package should yield the exact same result,
- bit for bit; if a server provides a binary different from the one
- obtained locally, it may be either corrupt or malicious.
- We know that the hash that shows up in @file{/gnu/store} file names is
- the hash of all the inputs of the process that built the file or
- directory---compilers, libraries, build scripts,
- etc. (@pxref{Introduction}). Assuming deterministic build processes,
- one store file name should map to exactly one build output.
- @command{guix challenge} checks whether there is, indeed, a single
- mapping by comparing the build outputs of several independent builds of
- any given store item.
- The command output looks like this:
- @smallexample
- $ guix challenge --substitute-urls="https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER} https://guix.example.org"

- @end smallexample
- @noindent
- In this example, @command{guix challenge} first scans the store to
- determine the set of locally-built derivations---as opposed to store
- items that were downloaded from a substitute server---and then queries
- all the substitute servers. It then reports those store items for which
- the servers obtained a result different from the local build.
- @cindex non-determinism, in package builds
- As an example, @code{guix.example.org} always gets a different answer.
- Conversely, @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} agrees with local builds, except in the
- case of Git. This might indicate that the build process of Git is
- non-deterministic, meaning that its output varies as a function of
- various things that Guix does not fully control, in spite of building
- packages in isolated environments (@pxref{Features}). Most common
- sources of non-determinism include the addition of timestamps in build
- results, the inclusion of random numbers, and directory listings sorted
- by inode number. See @uref{https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/}, for
- more information.
- To find out what is wrong with this Git binary, the easiest approach is
- to run:
- @example
- guix challenge git \
- --diff=diffoscope \
- --substitute-urls="https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER} https://guix.example.org"
- @end example
- This automatically invokes @command{diffoscope}, which displays detailed
- information about files that differ.
- Alternatively, we can do something along these lines (@pxref{Invoking guix
- archive}):
- @example
- $ wget -q -O - https://@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}/nar/lzip/@dots{}-git-2.5.0 \
- | lzip -d | guix archive -x /tmp/git
- $ diff -ur --no-dereference /gnu/store/@dots{}-git.2.5.0 /tmp/git
- @end example
- This command shows the difference between the files resulting from the
- local build, and the files resulting from the build on
- @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} (@pxref{Overview, Comparing and Merging Files,,
- diffutils, Comparing and Merging Files}). The @command{diff} command
- works great for text files. When binary files differ, a better option
- is @uref{https://diffoscope.org/, Diffoscope}, a tool that helps
- visualize differences for all kinds of files.
- Once you have done that work, you can tell whether the differences are due
- to a non-deterministic build process or to a malicious server. We try
- hard to remove sources of non-determinism in packages to make it easier
- to verify substitutes, but of course, this is a process that
- involves not just Guix, but a large part of the free software community.
- In the meantime, @command{guix challenge} is one tool to help address
- the problem.
- If you are writing packages for Guix, you are encouraged to check
- whether @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}} and other substitute servers obtain the
- same build result as you did with:
- @example
- $ guix challenge @var{package}
- @end example
- @noindent
- where @var{package} is a package specification such as
- @code{guile@@2.0} or @code{glibc:debug}.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix challenge @var{options} [@var{packages}@dots{}]
- @end example
- When a difference is found between the hash of a locally-built item and
- that of a server-provided substitute, or among substitutes provided by
- different servers, the command displays it as in the example above and
- its exit code is 2 (other non-zero exit codes denote other kinds of
- errors).
- The one option that matters is:
- @table @code
- @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
- Consider @var{urls} the whitespace-separated list of substitute source
- URLs to compare to.
- @item --diff=@var{mode}
- Upon mismatches, show differences according to @var{mode}, one of:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{simple} (the default)
- Show the list of files that differ.
- @item @code{diffoscope}
- @itemx @var{command}
- Invoke @uref{https://diffoscope.org/, Diffoscope}, passing it
- two directories whose contents do not match.
- When @var{command} is an absolute file name, run @var{command} instead
- of Diffoscope.
- @item @code{none}
- Do not show further details about the differences.
- @end table
- Thus, unless @option{--diff=none} is passed, @command{guix challenge}

- @cindex transferring store items across machines
- The @command{guix copy} command copies items from the store of one
- machine to that of another machine over a secure shell (SSH)
- connection@footnote{This command is available only when Guile-SSH was
- found. @xref{Requirements}, for details.}. For example, the following
- command copies the @code{coreutils} package, the user's profile, and all
- their dependencies over to @var{host}, logged in as @var{user}:
- @example
- guix copy --to=@var{user}@@@var{host} \
- coreutils `readlink -f ~/.guix-profile`
- @end example
- If some of the items to be copied are already present on @var{host},
- they are not actually sent.
- The command below retrieves @code{libreoffice} and @code{gimp} from
- @var{host}, assuming they are available there:
- @example
- guix copy --from=@var{host} libreoffice gimp
- @end example
- The SSH connection is established using the Guile-SSH client, which is
- compatible with OpenSSH: it honors @file{~/.ssh/known_hosts} and
- @file{~/.ssh/config}, and uses the SSH agent for authentication.
- The key used to sign items that are sent must be accepted by the remote
- machine. Likewise, the key used by the remote machine to sign items you
- are retrieving must be in @file{/etc/guix/acl} so it is accepted by your
- own daemon. @xref{Invoking guix archive}, for more information about
- store item authentication.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix copy [--to=@var{spec}|--from=@var{spec}] @var{items}@dots{}
- @end example
- You must always specify one of the following options:
- @table @code
- @item --to=@var{spec}
- @itemx --from=@var{spec}
- Specify the host to send to or receive from. @var{spec} must be an SSH
- spec such as @code{example.org}, @code{charlie@@example.org}, or
- @code{charlie@@example.org:2222}.
- @end table
- The @var{items} can be either package names, such as @code{gimp}, or
- store items, such as @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-idutils-4.6}.
- When specifying the name of a package to send, it is first built if
- needed, unless @option{--dry-run} was specified. Common build options
- are supported (@pxref{Common Build Options}).

- The purpose of @command{guix container} is to manipulate processes
- running within an isolated environment, commonly known as a
- ``container'', typically created by the @command{guix environment}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix environment}) and @command{guix system container}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix system}) commands.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix container @var{action} @var{options}@dots{}
- @end example
- @var{action} specifies the operation to perform with a container, and
- @var{options} specifies the context-specific arguments for the action.
- The following actions are available:
- @table @code
- @item exec
- Execute a command within the context of a running container.
- The syntax is:
- @example
- guix container exec @var{pid} @var{program} @var{arguments}@dots{}
- @end example
- @var{pid} specifies the process ID of the running container.
- @var{program} specifies an executable file name within the root file
- system of the container. @var{arguments} are the additional options that
- will be passed to @var{program}.
- The following command launches an interactive login shell inside a
- Guix system container, started by @command{guix system container}, and whose
- process ID is 9001:
- @example
- guix container exec 9001 /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash --login
- @end example
- Note that the @var{pid} cannot be the parent process of a container. It
- must be PID 1 of the container or one of its child processes.

- @section Invoking @command{guix weather}
- Occasionally you're grumpy because substitutes are lacking and you end
- up building packages by yourself (@pxref{Substitutes}). The

- specified servers so you can have an idea of whether you'll be grumpy

- @cindex statistics, for substitutes
- @cindex availability of substitutes
- @cindex substitute availability
- @cindex weather, substitute availability
- Here's a sample run:
- @example
- $ guix weather --substitute-urls=https://guix.example.org
- computing 5,872 package derivations for x86_64-linux...
- looking for 6,128 store items on https://guix.example.org..
- updating list of substitutes from 'https://guix.example.org'... 100.0%
- https://guix.example.org
- 43.4% substitutes available (2,658 out of 6,128)
- 7,032.5 MiB of nars (compressed)
- 19,824.2 MiB on disk (uncompressed)
- 0.030 seconds per request (182.9 seconds in total)
- 33.5 requests per second
- 9.8% (342 out of 3,470) of the missing items are queued
- 867 queued builds
- x86_64-linux: 518 (59.7%)
- i686-linux: 221 (25.5%)
- aarch64-linux: 128 (14.8%)
- build rate: 23.41 builds per hour
- x86_64-linux: 11.16 builds per hour
- i686-linux: 6.03 builds per hour
- aarch64-linux: 6.41 builds per hour
- @end example
- @cindex continuous integration, statistics
- As you can see, it reports the fraction of all the packages for which
- substitutes are available on the server---regardless of whether
- substitutes are enabled, and regardless of whether this server's signing
- key is authorized. It also reports the size of the compressed archives
- (``nars'') provided by the server, the size the corresponding store
- items occupy in the store (assuming deduplication is turned off), and
- the server's throughput. The second part gives continuous integration
- (CI) statistics, if the server supports it. In addition, using the
- @option{--coverage} option, @command{guix weather} can list ``important''
- package substitutes missing on the server (see below).
- To achieve that, @command{guix weather} queries over HTTP(S) meta-data
- (@dfn{narinfos}) for all the relevant store items. Like @command{guix
- challenge}, it ignores signatures on those substitutes, which is
- innocuous since the command only gathers statistics and cannot install
- those substitutes.
- The general syntax is:
- @example
- guix weather @var{options}@dots{} [@var{packages}@dots{}]
- @end example
- When @var{packages} is omitted, @command{guix weather} checks the availability
- of substitutes for @emph{all} the packages, or for those specified with
- @option{--manifest}; otherwise it only considers the specified packages. It
- is also possible to query specific system types with @option{--system}.
- @command{guix weather} exits with a non-zero code when the fraction of
- available substitutes is below 100%.
- The available options are listed below.
- @table @code
- @item --substitute-urls=@var{urls}
- @var{urls} is the space-separated list of substitute server URLs to
- query. When this option is omitted, the default set of substitute
- servers is queried.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Query substitutes for @var{system}---e.g., @code{aarch64-linux}. This
- option can be repeated, in which case @command{guix weather} will query
- substitutes for several system types.
- @item --manifest=@var{file}
- Instead of querying substitutes for all the packages, only ask for those
- specified in @var{file}. @var{file} must contain a @dfn{manifest}, as
- with the @code{-m} option of @command{guix package} (@pxref{Invoking
- guix package}).
- This option can be repeated several times, in which case the manifests
- are concatenated.
- @item --coverage[=@var{count}]
- @itemx -c [@var{count}]
- Report on substitute coverage for packages: list packages with at least
- @var{count} dependents (zero by default) for which substitutes are
- unavailable. Dependent packages themselves are not listed: if @var{b} depends
- on @var{a} and @var{a} has no substitutes, only @var{a} is listed, even though
- @var{b} usually lacks substitutes as well. The result looks like this:
- @example
- $ guix weather --substitute-urls=@value{SUBSTITUTE-URL} -c 10
- computing 8,983 package derivations for x86_64-linux...
- looking for 9,343 store items on @value{SUBSTITUTE-URL}...
- updating substitutes from '@value{SUBSTITUTE-URL}'... 100.0%
- @value{SUBSTITUTE-URL}
- 64.7% substitutes available (6,047 out of 9,343)
- @dots{}
- 2502 packages are missing from '@value{SUBSTITUTE-URL}' for 'x86_64-linux', among which:
- 58 kcoreaddons@@5.49.0 /gnu/store/@dots{}-kcoreaddons-5.49.0
- 46 qgpgme@@1.11.1 /gnu/store/@dots{}-qgpgme-1.11.1
- 37 perl-http-cookiejar@@0.008 /gnu/store/@dots{}-perl-http-cookiejar-0.008
- @dots{}
- @end example
- What this example shows is that @code{kcoreaddons} and presumably the 58
- packages that depend on it have no substitutes at
- @code{@value{SUBSTITUTE-SERVER}}; likewise for @code{qgpgme} and the 46
- packages that depend on it.
- If you are a Guix developer, or if you are taking care of this build farm,
- you'll probably want to have a closer look at these packages: they may simply
- fail to build.

- @end table
- @node Invoking guix processes
- @section Invoking @command{guix processes}
- The @command{guix processes} command can be useful to developers and system
- administrators, especially on multi-user machines and on build farms: it lists
- the current sessions (connections to the daemon), as well as information about
- the processes involved@footnote{Remote sessions, when @command{guix-daemon} is
- started with @option{--listen} specifying a TCP endpoint, are @emph{not}
- listed.}. Here's an example of the information it returns:
- @example
- $ sudo guix processes
- SessionPID: 19002
- ClientPID: 19090
- ClientCommand: guix environment --ad-hoc python
- SessionPID: 19402
- ClientPID: 19367
- ClientCommand: guix publish -u guix-publish -p 3000 -C 9 @dots{}
- SessionPID: 19444

- ChildPID: 27793
- ChildCommand: guix offload x86_64-linux 7200 1 28800
- @end example
- In this example we see that @command{guix-daemon} has three clients:
- @command{guix environment}, @command{guix publish}, and the Cuirass continuous
- integration tool; their process identifier (PID) is given by the
- @code{ClientPID} field. The @code{SessionPID} field gives the PID of the
- @command{guix-daemon} sub-process of this particular session.
- The @code{LockHeld} fields show which store items are currently locked
- by this session, which corresponds to store items being built or
- substituted (the @code{LockHeld} field is not displayed when
- @command{guix processes} is not running as root). Last, by looking at
- the @code{ChildPID} and @code{ChildCommand} fields, we understand that
- these three builds are being offloaded (@pxref{Daemon Offload Setup}).
- The output is in Recutils format so we can use the handy @command{recsel}
- command to select sessions of interest (@pxref{Selection Expressions,,,
- recutils, GNU recutils manual}). As an example, the command shows the command
- line and PID of the client that triggered the build of a Perl package:
- @example
- $ sudo guix processes | \
- recsel -p ClientPID,ClientCommand -e 'LockHeld ~ "perl"'
- ClientPID: 19419
- ClientCommand: cuirass --cache-directory /var/cache/cuirass @dots{}
- @end example
- Additional options are listed below.
- @table @code
- @item --format=@var{format}
- @itemx -f @var{format}
- Produce output in the specified @var{format}, one of:
- @table @code
- @item recutils
- The default option. It outputs a set of Session recutils records
- that include each @code{ChildProcess} as a field.
- @item normalized
- Normalize the output records into record sets (@pxref{Record Sets,,,
- recutils, GNU recutils manual}). Normalizing into record sets allows
- joins across record types. The example below lists the PID of each
- @code{ChildProcess} and the associated PID for @code{Session} that
- spawned the @code{ChildProcess} where the @code{Session} was started
- using @command{guix build}.
- @example
- $ guix processes --format=normalized | \
- recsel \
- -j Session \
- -t ChildProcess \
- -p Session.PID,PID \
- -e 'Session.ClientCommand ~ "guix build"'

- @chapter System Configuration
- @cindex system configuration
- Guix System supports a consistent whole-system configuration
- mechanism. By that we mean that all aspects of the global system
- configuration---such as the available system services, timezone and
- locale settings, user accounts---are declared in a single place. Such
- a @dfn{system configuration} can be @dfn{instantiated}---i.e., effected.
- One of the advantages of putting all the system configuration under the
- control of Guix is that it supports transactional system upgrades, and
- makes it possible to roll back to a previous system instantiation,
- should something go wrong with the new one (@pxref{Features}). Another
- advantage is that it makes it easy to replicate the exact same configuration
- across different machines, or at different points in time, without
- having to resort to additional administration tools layered on top of
- the own tools of the system.
- @c Yes, we're talking of Puppet, Chef, & co. here. ↑
- This section describes this mechanism. First we focus on the system
- administrator's viewpoint---explaining how the system is configured and
- instantiated. Then we show how this mechanism can be extended, for
- instance to support new system services.

- @node Using the Configuration System
- @section Using the Configuration System
- The operating system is configured by providing an
- @code{operating-system} declaration in a file that can then be passed to
- the @command{guix system} command (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). A
- simple setup, with the default system services, the default Linux-Libre
- kernel, initial RAM disk, and boot loader looks like this:
- @findex operating-system
- @lisp
- @include os-config-bare-bones.texi
- @end lisp
- This example should be self-describing. Some of the fields defined
- above, such as @code{host-name} and @code{bootloader}, are mandatory.
- Others, such as @code{packages} and @code{services}, can be omitted, in
- which case they get a default value.
- Below we discuss the effect of some of the most important fields
- (@pxref{operating-system Reference}, for details about all the available
- fields), and how to @dfn{instantiate} the operating system using
- @command{guix system}.
- @unnumberedsubsec Bootloader
- @cindex legacy boot, on Intel machines
- @cindex BIOS boot, on Intel machines
- @cindex UEFI boot
- @cindex EFI boot
- The @code{bootloader} field describes the method that will be used to boot
- your system. Machines based on Intel processors can boot in ``legacy'' BIOS
- mode, as in the example above. However, more recent machines rely instead on
- the @dfn{Unified Extensible Firmware Interface} (UEFI) to boot. In that case,
- the @code{bootloader} field should contain something along these lines:
- @lisp
- (bootloader-configuration
- (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
- (target "/boot/efi"))
- @end lisp
- @xref{Bootloader Configuration}, for more information on the available
- configuration options.
- @unnumberedsubsec Globally-Visible Packages
- @vindex %base-packages
- The @code{packages} field lists packages that will be globally visible
- on the system, for all user accounts---i.e., in every user's @env{PATH}
- environment variable---in addition to the per-user profiles
- (@pxref{Invoking guix package}). The @code{%base-packages} variable
- provides all the tools one would expect for basic user and administrator
- tasks---including the GNU Core Utilities, the GNU Networking Utilities,
- the GNU Zile lightweight text editor, @command{find}, @command{grep},
- etc. The example above adds GNU@tie{}Screen to those,
- taken from the @code{(gnu packages screen)}
- module (@pxref{Package Modules}). The
- @code{(list package output)} syntax can be used to add a specific output
- of a package:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu packages))
- (use-modules (gnu packages dns))
- (operating-system
- ;; ...
- (packages (cons (list bind "utils")
- %base-packages)))
- @end lisp
- @findex specification->package
- Referring to packages by variable name, like @code{bind} above, has
- the advantage of being unambiguous; it also allows typos and such to be
- diagnosed right away as ``unbound variables''. The downside is that one
- needs to know which module defines which package, and to augment the
- @code{use-package-modules} line accordingly. To avoid that, one can use
- the @code{specification->package} procedure of the @code{(gnu packages)}
- module, which returns the best package for a given name or name and
- version:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu packages))
- (operating-system
- ;; ...
- (packages (append (map specification->package
- '("tcpdump" "htop" "gnupg@@2.0"))
- %base-packages)))
- @end lisp
- @unnumberedsubsec System Services
- @cindex services
- @vindex %base-services
- The @code{services} field lists @dfn{system services} to be made
- available when the system starts (@pxref{Services}).
- The @code{operating-system} declaration above specifies that, in
- addition to the basic services, we want the OpenSSH secure shell
- daemon listening on port 2222 (@pxref{Networking Services,
- @code{openssh-service-type}}). Under the hood,
- @code{openssh-service-type} arranges so that @command{sshd} is started with the
- right command-line options, possibly with supporting configuration files
- generated as needed (@pxref{Defining Services}).
- @cindex customization, of services
- @findex modify-services
- Occasionally, instead of using the base services as is, you will want to
- customize them. To do this, use @code{modify-services} (@pxref{Service
- Reference, @code{modify-services}}) to modify the list.
- For example, suppose you want to modify @code{guix-daemon} and Mingetty
- (the console log-in) in the @code{%base-services} list (@pxref{Base
- Services, @code{%base-services}}). To do that, you can write the
- following in your operating system declaration:
- @lisp
- (define %my-services
- ;; My very own list of services.
- (modify-services %base-services
- (guix-service-type config =>
- (guix-configuration
- (inherit config)
- ;; Fetch substitutes from example.org.
- (substitute-urls
- (list "https://example.org/guix"
- "https://ci.guix.gnu.org"))))
- (mingetty-service-type config =>
- (mingetty-configuration
- (inherit config)
- ;; Automatially log in as "guest".
- (auto-login "guest")))))
- (operating-system
- ;; @dots{}
- (services %my-services))
- @end lisp
- This changes the configuration---i.e., the service parameters---of the
- @code{guix-service-type} instance, and that of all the
- @code{mingetty-service-type} instances in the @code{%base-services} list.
- Observe how this is accomplished: first, we arrange for the original
- configuration to be bound to the identifier @code{config} in the
- @var{body}, and then we write the @var{body} so that it evaluates to the
- desired configuration. In particular, notice how we use @code{inherit}
- to create a new configuration which has the same values as the old
- configuration, but with a few modifications.
- @cindex encrypted disk
- The configuration for a typical ``desktop'' usage, with an encrypted
- root partition, the X11 display
- server, GNOME and Xfce (users can choose which of these desktop
- environments to use at the log-in screen by pressing @kbd{F1}), network
- management, power management, and more, would look like this:
- @lisp
- @include os-config-desktop.texi
- @end lisp
- A graphical system with a choice of lightweight window managers
- instead of full-blown desktop environments would look like this:
- @lisp
- @include os-config-lightweight-desktop.texi
- @end lisp
- This example refers to the @file{/boot/efi} file system by its UUID,
- @code{1234-ABCD}. Replace this UUID with the right UUID on your system,
- as returned by the @command{blkid} command.
- @xref{Desktop Services}, for the exact list of services provided by
- @code{%desktop-services}. @xref{X.509 Certificates}, for background
- information about the @code{nss-certs} package that is used here.
- Again, @code{%desktop-services} is just a list of service objects. If
- you want to remove services from there, you can do so using the
- procedures for list filtering (@pxref{SRFI-1 Filtering and
- Partitioning,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}). For instance, the
- following expression returns a list that contains all the services in
- @code{%desktop-services} minus the Avahi service:
- @lisp
- (remove (lambda (service)
- (eq? (service-kind service) avahi-service-type))
- %desktop-services)
- @end lisp
- @unnumberedsubsec Instantiating the System
- Assuming the @code{operating-system} declaration
- is stored in the @file{my-system-config.scm}
- file, the @command{guix system reconfigure my-system-config.scm} command
- instantiates that configuration, and makes it the default GRUB boot
- entry (@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
- The normal way to change the system configuration is by updating this
- file and re-running @command{guix system reconfigure}. One should never
- have to touch files in @file{/etc} or to run commands that modify the
- system state such as @command{useradd} or @command{grub-install}. In
- fact, you must avoid that since that would not only void your warranty
- but also prevent you from rolling back to previous versions of your
- system, should you ever need to.
- @cindex roll-back, of the operating system
- Speaking of roll-back, each time you run @command{guix system
- reconfigure}, a new @dfn{generation} of the system is created---without
- modifying or deleting previous generations. Old system generations get
- an entry in the bootloader boot menu, allowing you to boot them in case
- something went wrong with the latest generation. Reassuring, no? The
- @command{guix system list-generations} command lists the system
- generations available on disk. It is also possible to roll back the
- system via the commands @command{guix system roll-back} and
- @command{guix system switch-generation}.
- Although the @command{guix system reconfigure} command will not modify
- previous generations, you must take care when the current generation is not
- the latest (e.g., after invoking @command{guix system roll-back}), since
- the operation might overwrite a later generation (@pxref{Invoking guix
- system}).
- @unnumberedsubsec The Programming Interface
- At the Scheme level, the bulk of an @code{operating-system} declaration
- is instantiated with the following monadic procedure (@pxref{The Store
- Monad}):
- @deffn {Monadic Procedure} operating-system-derivation os
- Return a derivation that builds @var{os}, an @code{operating-system}
- object (@pxref{Derivations}).
- The output of the derivation is a single directory that refers to all
- the packages, configuration files, and other supporting files needed to
- instantiate @var{os}.
- @end deffn
- This procedure is provided by the @code{(gnu system)} module. Along
- with @code{(gnu services)} (@pxref{Services}), this module contains the
- guts of Guix System. Make sure to visit it!
- @node operating-system Reference
- @section @code{operating-system} Reference
- This section summarizes all the options available in
- @code{operating-system} declarations (@pxref{Using the Configuration
- System}).
- @deftp {Data Type} operating-system
- This is the data type representing an operating system configuration.
- By that, we mean all the global system configuration, not per-user
- configuration (@pxref{Using the Configuration System}).
- @table @asis
- @item @code{kernel} (default: @code{linux-libre})
- The package object of the operating system kernel to
- use@footnote{Currently only the Linux-libre kernel is fully supported.
- Using GNU@tie{}mach with the GNU@tie{}Hurd is experimental and only
- available when building a virtual machine disk image.}.
- @cindex hurd
- @item @code{hurd} (default: @code{#f})
- The package object of the Hurd to be started by the kernel. When this
- field is set, produce a GNU/Hurd operating system. In that case,
- @code{kernel} must also be set to the @code{gnumach} package---the
- microkernel the Hurd runs on.
- @quotation Warning
- This feature is experimental and only supported for disk images.
- @end quotation
- @item @code{kernel-loadable-modules} (default: '())
- A list of objects (usually packages) to collect loadable kernel modules
- from--e.g. @code{(list ddcci-driver-linux)}.
- @item @code{kernel-arguments} (default: @code{%default-kernel-arguments})

- @node File Systems
- @section File Systems
- The list of file systems to be mounted is specified in the
- @code{file-systems} field of the operating system declaration
- (@pxref{Using the Configuration System}). Each file system is declared
- using the @code{file-system} form, like this:
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (mount-point "/home")
- (device "/dev/sda3")
- (type "ext4"))
- @end lisp
- As usual, some of the fields are mandatory---those shown in the example
- above---while others can be omitted. These are described below.
- @deftp {Data Type} file-system
- Objects of this type represent file systems to be mounted. They
- contain the following members:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{type}
- This is a string specifying the type of the file system---e.g.,
- @code{"ext4"}.
- @item @code{mount-point}
- This designates the place where the file system is to be mounted.
- @item @code{device}
- This names the ``source'' of the file system. It can be one of three
- things: a file system label, a file system UUID, or the name of a
- @file{/dev} node. Labels and UUIDs offer a way to refer to file
- systems without having to hard-code their actual device
- name@footnote{Note that, while it is tempting to use
- @file{/dev/disk/by-uuid} and similar device names to achieve the same
- result, this is not recommended: These special device nodes are created
- by the udev daemon and may be unavailable at the time the device is
- mounted.}.
- @findex file-system-label
- File system labels are created using the @code{file-system-label}
- procedure, UUIDs are created using @code{uuid}, and @file{/dev} node are
- plain strings. Here's an example of a file system referred to by its
- label, as shown by the @command{e2label} command:
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (mount-point "/home")
- (type "ext4")
- (device (file-system-label "my-home")))
- @end lisp
- @findex uuid
- UUIDs are converted from their string representation (as shown by the
- @command{tune2fs -l} command) using the @code{uuid} form@footnote{The
- @code{uuid} form expects 16-byte UUIDs as defined in
- @uref{https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122, RFC@tie{}4122}. This is the
- form of UUID used by the ext2 family of file systems and others, but it
- is different from ``UUIDs'' found in FAT file systems, for instance.},
- like this:
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (mount-point "/home")
- (type "ext4")
- (device (uuid "4dab5feb-d176-45de-b287-9b0a6e4c01cb")))
- @end lisp
- When the source of a file system is a mapped device (@pxref{Mapped
- Devices}), its @code{device} field @emph{must} refer to the mapped
- device name---e.g., @file{"/dev/mapper/root-partition"}.
- This is required so that
- the system knows that mounting the file system depends on having the
- corresponding device mapping established.
- @item @code{flags} (default: @code{'()})
- This is a list of symbols denoting mount flags. Recognized flags
- include @code{read-only}, @code{bind-mount}, @code{no-dev} (disallow
- access to special files), @code{no-suid} (ignore setuid and setgid
- bits), @code{no-atime} (do not update file access times),
- @code{strict-atime} (update file access time), @code{lazy-time} (only
- update time on the in-memory version of the file inode), and
- @code{no-exec} (disallow program execution).
- @xref{Mount-Unmount-Remount,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
- Manual}, for more information on these flags.
- @item @code{options} (default: @code{#f})
- This is either @code{#f}, or a string denoting mount options passed to
- the file system driver. @xref{Mount-Unmount-Remount,,, libc, The GNU C
- Library Reference Manual}, for details and run @command{man 8 mount} for
- options for various file systems. Note that the
- @code{file-system-options->alist} and @code{alist->file-system-options}
- procedures from @code{(gnu system file-systems)} can be used to convert
- file system options given as an association list to the string
- representation, and vice-versa.
- @item @code{mount?} (default: @code{#t})
- This value indicates whether to automatically mount the file system when
- the system is brought up. When set to @code{#f}, the file system gets
- an entry in @file{/etc/fstab} (read by the @command{mount} command) but
- is not automatically mounted.
- @item @code{needed-for-boot?} (default: @code{#f})
- This Boolean value indicates whether the file system is needed when
- booting. If that is true, then the file system is mounted when the
- initial RAM disk (initrd) is loaded. This is always the case, for
- instance, for the root file system.
- @item @code{check?} (default: @code{#t})
- This Boolean indicates whether the file system needs to be checked for
- errors before being mounted.
- @item @code{create-mount-point?} (default: @code{#f})
- When true, the mount point is created if it does not exist yet.
- @item @code{mount-may-fail?} (default: @code{#f})
- When true, this indicates that mounting this file system can fail but
- that should not be considered an error. This is useful in unusual
- cases; an example of this is @code{efivarfs}, a file system that can
- only be mounted on EFI/UEFI systems.
- @item @code{dependencies} (default: @code{'()})
- This is a list of @code{<file-system>} or @code{<mapped-device>} objects
- representing file systems that must be mounted or mapped devices that
- must be opened before (and unmounted or closed after) this one.
- As an example, consider a hierarchy of mounts: @file{/sys/fs/cgroup} is
- a dependency of @file{/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu} and
- @file{/sys/fs/cgroup/memory}.
- Another example is a file system that depends on a mapped device, for
- example for an encrypted partition (@pxref{Mapped Devices}).

- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %pseudo-terminal-file-system
- This is the file system to be mounted as @file{/dev/pts}. It supports
- @dfn{pseudo-terminals} created @i{via} @code{openpty} and similar

- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %shared-memory-file-system
- This file system is mounted as @file{/dev/shm} and is used to support
- memory sharing across processes (@pxref{Memory-mapped I/O,
- @code{shm_open},, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}).
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %immutable-store
- This file system performs a read-only ``bind mount'' of
- @file{/gnu/store}, making it read-only for all the users including
- @code{root}. This prevents against accidental modification by software
- running as @code{root} or by system administrators.
- The daemon itself is still able to write to the store: it remounts it
- read-write in its own ``name space.''
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %binary-format-file-system
- The @code{binfmt_misc} file system, which allows handling of arbitrary

- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %fuse-control-file-system
- The @code{fusectl} file system, which allows unprivileged users to mount
- and unmount user-space FUSE file systems. This requires the
- @code{fuse.ko} kernel module to be loaded.
- @end defvr
- The @code{(gnu system uuid)} module provides tools to deal with file

- @result{} #<<uuid> type: dce bv: @dots{}>
- (uuid "1234-ABCD" 'fat)
- @result{} #<<uuid> type: fat bv: @dots{}>
- @end lisp
- @var{type} may be one of @code{dce}, @code{iso9660}, @code{fat},
- @code{ntfs}, or one of the commonly found synonyms for these.
- UUIDs are another way to unambiguously refer to file systems in
- operating system configuration. See the examples above.
- @end deffn
- @node Btrfs file system
- @subsection Btrfs file system
- The Btrfs has special features, such as subvolumes, that merit being
- explained in more details. The following section attempts to cover
- basic as well as complex uses of a Btrfs file system with the Guix
- System.
- In its simplest usage, a Btrfs file system can be described, for
- example, by:
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (mount-point "/home")
- (type "btrfs")
- (device (file-system-label "my-home")))
- @end lisp
- The example below is more complex, as it makes use of a Btrfs
- subvolume, named @code{rootfs}. The parent Btrfs file system is labeled
- @code{my-btrfs-pool}, and is located on an encrypted device (hence the
- dependency on @code{mapped-devices}):
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (device (file-system-label "my-btrfs-pool"))
- (mount-point "/")
- (type "btrfs")
- (options "subvol=rootfs")
- (dependencies mapped-devices))
- @end lisp
- Some bootloaders, for example GRUB, only mount a Btrfs partition at its
- top level during the early boot, and rely on their configuration to
- refer to the correct subvolume path within that top level. The
- bootloaders operating in this way typically produce their configuration
- on a running system where the Btrfs partitions are already mounted and
- where the subvolume information is readily available. As an example,
- @command{grub-mkconfig}, the configuration generator command shipped
- with GRUB, reads @file{/proc/self/mountinfo} to determine the top-level
- path of a subvolume.
- The Guix System produces a bootloader configuration using the operating
- system configuration as its sole input; it is therefore necessary to
- extract the subvolume name on which @file{/gnu/store} lives (if any)
- from that operating system configuration. To better illustrate,
- consider a subvolume named 'rootfs' which contains the root file system
- data. In such situation, the GRUB bootloader would only see the top
- level of the root Btrfs partition, e.g.:
- @example
- / (top level)
- ├── rootfs (subvolume directory)
- ├── gnu (normal directory)
- ├── store (normal directory)
- [...]
- @end example
- Thus, the subvolume name must be prepended to the @file{/gnu/store} path
- of the kernel, initrd binaries and any other files referred to in the
- GRUB configuration that must be found during the early boot.
- The next example shows a nested hierarchy of subvolumes and
- directories:
- @example
- / (top level)
- ├── rootfs (subvolume)
- ├── gnu (normal directory)
- ├── store (subvolume)
- [...]
- @end example
- This scenario would work without mounting the 'store' subvolume.
- Mounting 'rootfs' is sufficient, since the subvolume name matches its
- intended mount point in the file system hierarchy. Alternatively, the
- 'store' subvolume could be referred to by setting the @code{subvol}
- option to either @code{/rootfs/gnu/store} or @code{rootfs/gnu/store}.
- Finally, a more contrived example of nested subvolumes:
- @example
- / (top level)
- ├── root-snapshots (subvolume)
- ├── root-current (subvolume)
- ├── guix-store (subvolume)
- [...]
- @end example
- Here, the 'guix-store' subvolume doesn't match its intended mount point,
- so it is necessary to mount it. The subvolume must be fully specified,
- by passing its file name to the @code{subvol} option. To illustrate,
- the 'guix-store' subvolume could be mounted on @file{/gnu/store} by using
- a file system declaration such as:
- @lisp
- (file-system
- (device (file-system-label "btrfs-pool-1"))
- (mount-point "/gnu/store")
- (type "btrfs")
- (options "subvol=root-snapshots/root-current/guix-store,\
- compress-force=zstd,space_cache=v2"))

- @node Mapped Devices
- @section Mapped Devices
- @cindex device mapping
- @cindex mapped devices
- The Linux kernel has a notion of @dfn{device mapping}: a block device,
- such as a hard disk partition, can be @dfn{mapped} into another device,
- usually in @code{/dev/mapper/},
- with additional processing over the data that flows through
- it@footnote{Note that the GNU@tie{}Hurd makes no difference between the
- concept of a ``mapped device'' and that of a file system: both boil down
- to @emph{translating} input/output operations made on a file to
- operations on its backing store. Thus, the Hurd implements mapped
- devices, like file systems, using the generic @dfn{translator} mechanism
- (@pxref{Translators,,, hurd, The GNU Hurd Reference Manual}).}. A
- typical example is encryption device mapping: all writes to the mapped
- device are encrypted, and all reads are deciphered, transparently.
- Guix extends this notion by considering any device or set of devices that
- are @dfn{transformed} in some way to create a new device; for instance,
- RAID devices are obtained by @dfn{assembling} several other devices, such
- as hard disks or partitions, into a new one that behaves as one partition.
- Mapped devices are declared using the @code{mapped-device} form,
- defined as follows; for examples, see below.
- @deftp {Data Type} mapped-device
- Objects of this type represent device mappings that will be made when
- the system boots up.
- @table @code
- @item source
- This is either a string specifying the name of the block device to be mapped,
- such as @code{"/dev/sda3"}, or a list of such strings when several devices
- need to be assembled for creating a new one. In case of LVM this is a
- string specifying name of the volume group to be mapped.
- @item target
- This string specifies the name of the resulting mapped device. For
- kernel mappers such as encrypted devices of type @code{luks-device-mapping},
- specifying @code{"my-partition"} leads to the creation of
- the @code{"/dev/mapper/my-partition"} device.
- For RAID devices of type @code{raid-device-mapping}, the full device name
- such as @code{"/dev/md0"} needs to be given.
- LVM logical volumes of type @code{lvm-device-mapping} need to
- be specified as @code{"VGNAME-LVNAME"}.
- @item targets
- This list of strings specifies names of the resulting mapped devices in case
- there are several. The format is identical to @var{target}.
- @item type
- This must be a @code{mapped-device-kind} object, which specifies how
- @var{source} is mapped to @var{target}.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} luks-device-mapping
- This defines LUKS block device encryption using the @command{cryptsetup}
- command from the package with the same name. It relies on the
- @code{dm-crypt} Linux kernel module.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} raid-device-mapping
- This defines a RAID device, which is assembled using the @code{mdadm}
- command from the package with the same name. It requires a Linux kernel
- module for the appropriate RAID level to be loaded, such as @code{raid456}
- for RAID-4, RAID-5 or RAID-6, or @code{raid10} for RAID-10.
- @end defvr
- @cindex LVM, logical volume manager
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} lvm-device-mapping
- This defines one or more logical volumes for the Linux
- @uref{https://www.sourceware.org/lvm2/, Logical Volume Manager (LVM)}.
- The volume group is activated by the @command{vgchange} command from the
- @code{lvm2} package.
- @end defvr
- @cindex disk encryption
- @cindex LUKS
- The following example specifies a mapping from @file{/dev/sda3} to
- @file{/dev/mapper/home} using LUKS---the
- @url{https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup,Linux Unified Key Setup}, a
- standard mechanism for disk encryption.
- The @file{/dev/mapper/home}
- device can then be used as the @code{device} of a @code{file-system}
- declaration (@pxref{File Systems}).
- @lisp
- (mapped-device
- (source "/dev/sda3")
- (target "home")
- (type luks-device-mapping))
- @end lisp
- Alternatively, to become independent of device numbering, one may obtain
- the LUKS UUID (@dfn{unique identifier}) of the source device by a
- command like:
- @example
- cryptsetup luksUUID /dev/sda3
- @end example
- and use it as follows:
- @lisp
- (mapped-device
- (source (uuid "cb67fc72-0d54-4c88-9d4b-b225f30b0f44"))
- (target "home")
- (type luks-device-mapping))
- @end lisp
- @cindex swap encryption
- It is also desirable to encrypt swap space, since swap space may contain
- sensitive data. One way to accomplish that is to use a swap file in a
- file system on a device mapped via LUKS encryption. In this way, the
- swap file is encrypted because the entire device is encrypted.
- @xref{Preparing for Installation,,Disk Partitioning}, for an example.
- A RAID device formed of the partitions @file{/dev/sda1} and @file{/dev/sdb1}
- may be declared as follows:
- @lisp
- (mapped-device
- (source (list "/dev/sda1" "/dev/sdb1"))
- (target "/dev/md0")
- (type raid-device-mapping))
- @end lisp
- The @file{/dev/md0} device can then be used as the @code{device} of a
- @code{file-system} declaration (@pxref{File Systems}).
- Note that the RAID level need not be given; it is chosen during the
- initial creation and formatting of the RAID device and is determined
- automatically later.
- LVM logical volumes ``alpha'' and ``beta'' from volume group ``vg0'' can
- be declared as follows:
- @lisp
- (mapped-device
- (source "vg0")
- (targets (list "vg0-alpha" "vg0-beta"))
- (type lvm-device-mapping))
- @end lisp
- Devices @file{/dev/mapper/vg0-alpha} and @file{/dev/mapper/vg0-beta} can
- then be used as the @code{device} of a @code{file-system} declaration
- (@pxref{File Systems}).
- @node User Accounts
- @section User Accounts
- @cindex users
- @cindex accounts
- @cindex user accounts
- User accounts and groups are entirely managed through the
- @code{operating-system} declaration. They are specified with the
- @code{user-account} and @code{user-group} forms:
- @lisp
- (user-account
- (name "alice")
- (group "users")
- (supplementary-groups '("wheel" ;allow use of sudo, etc.
- "audio" ;sound card
- "video" ;video devices such as webcams
- "cdrom")) ;the good ol' CD-ROM
- (comment "Bob's sister"))
- @end lisp
- Here's a user account that uses a different shell and a custom home
- directory (the default would be @file{"/home/bob"}):
- @lisp
- (user-account
- (name "bob")
- (group "users")
- (comment "Alice's bro")
- (shell (file-append zsh "/bin/zsh"))
- (home-directory "/home/robert"))
- @end lisp
- When booting or upon completion of @command{guix system reconfigure},
- the system ensures that only the user accounts and groups specified in
- the @code{operating-system} declaration exist, and with the specified
- properties. Thus, account or group creations or modifications made by
- directly invoking commands such as @command{useradd} are lost upon
- reconfiguration or reboot. This ensures that the system remains exactly
- as declared.
- @deftp {Data Type} user-account
- Objects of this type represent user accounts. The following members may
- be specified:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- The name of the user account.
- @item @code{group}
- @cindex groups
- This is the name (a string) or identifier (a number) of the user group
- this account belongs to.
- @item @code{supplementary-groups} (default: @code{'()})
- Optionally, this can be defined as a list of group names that this
- account belongs to.
- @item @code{uid} (default: @code{#f})
- This is the user ID for this account (a number), or @code{#f}. In the
- latter case, a number is automatically chosen by the system when the
- account is created.
- @item @code{comment} (default: @code{""})
- A comment about the account, such as the account owner's full name.
- @item @code{home-directory}
- This is the name of the home directory for the account.
- @item @code{create-home-directory?} (default: @code{#t})
- Indicates whether the home directory of this account should be created
- if it does not exist yet.
- @item @code{shell} (default: Bash)
- This is a G-expression denoting the file name of a program to be used as
- the shell (@pxref{G-Expressions}). For example, you would refer to the
- Bash executable like this:
- @lisp
- (file-append bash "/bin/bash")
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- ... and to the Zsh executable like that:
- @lisp
- (file-append zsh "/bin/zsh")
- @end lisp
- @item @code{system?} (default: @code{#f})
- This Boolean value indicates whether the account is a ``system''
- account. System accounts are sometimes treated specially; for instance,
- graphical login managers do not list them.
- @anchor{user-account-password}
- @cindex password, for user accounts
- @item @code{password} (default: @code{#f})
- You would normally leave this field to @code{#f}, initialize user
- passwords as @code{root} with the @command{passwd} command, and then let
- users change it with @command{passwd}. Passwords set with
- @command{passwd} are of course preserved across reboot and
- reconfiguration.
- If you @emph{do} want to set an initial password for an account, then
- this field must contain the encrypted password, as a string. You can use the
- @code{crypt} procedure for this purpose:
- @lisp
- (user-account
- (name "charlie")
- (group "users")
- ;; Specify a SHA-512-hashed initial password.
- (password (crypt "InitialPassword!" "$6$abc")))
- @end lisp
- @quotation Note
- The hash of this initial password will be available in a file in
- @file{/gnu/store}, readable by all the users, so this method must be used with
- care.
- @end quotation
- @xref{Passphrase Storage,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}, for
- more information on password encryption, and @ref{Encryption,,, guile, GNU
- Guile Reference Manual}, for information on Guile's @code{crypt} procedure.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @cindex groups
- User group declarations are even simpler:
- @lisp
- (user-group (name "students"))
- @end lisp
- @deftp {Data Type} user-group
- This type is for, well, user groups. There are just a few fields:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- The name of the group.
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{#f})
- The group identifier (a number). If @code{#f}, a new number is
- automatically allocated when the group is created.
- @item @code{system?} (default: @code{#f})
- This Boolean value indicates whether the group is a ``system'' group.
- System groups have low numerical IDs.
- @item @code{password} (default: @code{#f})
- What, user groups can have a password? Well, apparently yes. Unless
- @code{#f}, this field specifies the password of the group.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- For convenience, a variable lists all the basic user groups one may
- expect:
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-groups
- This is the list of basic user groups that users and/or packages expect
- to be present on the system. This includes groups such as ``root'',
- ``wheel'', and ``users'', as well as groups used to control access to
- specific devices such as ``audio'', ``disk'', and ``cdrom''.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-user-accounts
- This is the list of basic system accounts that programs may expect to
- find on a GNU/Linux system, such as the ``nobody'' account.
- Note that the ``root'' account is not included here. It is a
- special-case and is automatically added whether or not it is specified.
- @end defvr
- @node Keyboard Layout
- @section Keyboard Layout
- @cindex keyboard layout
- @cindex keymap
- To specify what each key of your keyboard does, you need to tell the operating
- system what @dfn{keyboard layout} you want to use. The default, when nothing
- is specified, is the US English QWERTY layout for 105-key PC keyboards.
- However, German speakers will usually prefer the German QWERTZ layout, French
- speakers will want the AZERTY layout, and so on; hackers might prefer Dvorak
- or bépo, and they might even want to further customize the effect of some of
- the keys. This section explains how to get that done.
- @cindex keyboard layout, definition
- There are three components that will want to know about your keyboard layout:
- @itemize
- @item
- The @emph{bootloader} may want to know what keyboard layout you want to use
- (@pxref{Bootloader Configuration, @code{keyboard-layout}}). This is useful if
- you want, for instance, to make sure that you can type the passphrase of your
- encrypted root partition using the right layout.
- @item
- The @emph{operating system kernel}, Linux, will need that so that the console
- is properly configured (@pxref{operating-system Reference,
- @code{keyboard-layout}}).
- @item
- The @emph{graphical display server}, usually Xorg, also has its own idea of
- the keyboard layout (@pxref{X Window, @code{keyboard-layout}}).
- @end itemize
- Guix allows you to configure all three separately but, fortunately, it allows
- you to share the same keyboard layout for all three components.
- @cindex XKB, keyboard layouts
- Keyboard layouts are represented by records created by the
- @code{keyboard-layout} procedure of @code{(gnu system keyboard)}. Following
- the X Keyboard extension (XKB), each layout has four attributes: a name (often
- a language code such as ``fi'' for Finnish or ``jp'' for Japanese), an
- optional variant name, an optional keyboard model name, and a possibly empty
- list of additional options. In most cases the layout name is all you care
- about.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} keyboard-layout @var{name} [@var{variant}] @
- [#:model] [#:options '()]
- Return a new keyboard layout with the given @var{name} and @var{variant}.
- @var{name} must be a string such as @code{"fr"}; @var{variant} must be a
- string such as @code{"bepo"} or @code{"nodeadkeys"}. See the
- @code{xkeyboard-config} package for valid options.
- @end deffn
- Here are a few examples:
- @lisp
- ;; The German QWERTZ layout. Here we assume a standard
- ;; "pc105" keyboard model.
- (keyboard-layout "de")
- ;; The bépo variant of the French layout.
- (keyboard-layout "fr" "bepo")
- ;; The Catalan layout.
- (keyboard-layout "es" "cat")
- ;; Arabic layout with "Alt-Shift" to switch to US layout.
- (keyboard-layout "ar,us" #:options '("grp:alt_shift_toggle"))
- ;; The Latin American Spanish layout. In addition, the
- ;; "Caps Lock" key is used as an additional "Ctrl" key,
- ;; and the "Menu" key is used as a "Compose" key to enter
- ;; accented letters.
- (keyboard-layout "latam"
- #:options '("ctrl:nocaps" "compose:menu"))
- ;; The Russian layout for a ThinkPad keyboard.
- (keyboard-layout "ru" #:model "thinkpad")
- ;; The "US international" layout, which is the US layout plus
- ;; dead keys to enter accented characters. This is for an
- ;; Apple MacBook keyboard.
- (keyboard-layout "us" "intl" #:model "macbook78")
- @end lisp
- See the @file{share/X11/xkb} directory of the @code{xkeyboard-config} package
- for a complete list of supported layouts, variants, and models.
- @cindex keyboard layout, configuration
- Let's say you want your system to use the Turkish keyboard layout throughout
- your system---bootloader, console, and Xorg. Here's what your system
- configuration would look like:
- @findex set-xorg-configuration
- @lisp
- ;; Using the Turkish layout for the bootloader, the console,
- ;; and for Xorg.
- (operating-system
- ;; ...
- (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "tr")) ;for the console
- (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
- (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
- (target "/boot/efi")
- (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) ;for GRUB
- (services (cons (set-xorg-configuration
- (xorg-configuration ;for Xorg
- (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
- %desktop-services)))
- @end lisp
- In the example above, for GRUB and for Xorg, we just refer to the
- @code{keyboard-layout} field defined above, but we could just as well refer to
- a different layout. The @code{set-xorg-configuration} procedure communicates
- the desired Xorg configuration to the graphical log-in manager, by default
- GDM.
- We've discussed how to specify the @emph{default} keyboard layout of your
- system when it starts, but you can also adjust it at run time:
- @itemize
- @item
- If you're using GNOME, its settings panel has a ``Region & Language'' entry
- where you can select one or more keyboard layouts.
- @item
- Under Xorg, the @command{setxkbmap} command (from the same-named package)
- allows you to change the current layout. For example, this is how you would
- change the layout to US Dvorak:
- @example
- setxkbmap us dvorak
- @end example
- @item
- The @code{loadkeys} command changes the keyboard layout in effect in the Linux
- console. However, note that @code{loadkeys} does @emph{not} use the XKB
- keyboard layout categorization described above. The command below loads the
- French bépo layout:
- @example
- loadkeys fr-bepo
- @end example
- @end itemize
- @node Locales
- @section Locales
- @cindex locale
- A @dfn{locale} defines cultural conventions for a particular language
- and region of the world (@pxref{Locales,,, libc, The GNU C Library
- Reference Manual}). Each locale has a name that typically has the form
- @code{@var{language}_@var{territory}.@var{codeset}}---e.g.,
- @code{fr_LU.utf8} designates the locale for the French language, with
- cultural conventions from Luxembourg, and using the UTF-8 encoding.
- @cindex locale definition
- Usually, you will want to specify the default locale for the machine
- using the @code{locale} field of the @code{operating-system} declaration
- (@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{locale}}).
- The selected locale is automatically added to the @dfn{locale
- definitions} known to the system if needed, with its codeset inferred
- from its name---e.g., @code{bo_CN.utf8} will be assumed to use the
- @code{UTF-8} codeset. Additional locale definitions can be specified in
- the @code{locale-definitions} slot of @code{operating-system}---this is
- useful, for instance, if the codeset could not be inferred from the
- locale name. The default set of locale definitions includes some widely
- used locales, but not all the available locales, in order to save space.
- For instance, to add the North Frisian locale for Germany, the value of
- that field may be:
- @lisp
- (cons (locale-definition
- (name "fy_DE.utf8") (source "fy_DE"))
- %default-locale-definitions)
- @end lisp
- Likewise, to save space, one might want @code{locale-definitions} to
- list only the locales that are actually used, as in:
- @lisp
- (list (locale-definition
- (name "ja_JP.eucjp") (source "ja_JP")
- (charset "EUC-JP")))
- @end lisp
- @vindex LOCPATH
- The compiled locale definitions are available at
- @file{/run/current-system/locale/X.Y}, where @code{X.Y} is the libc
- version, which is the default location where the GNU@tie{}libc provided
- by Guix looks for locale data. This can be overridden using the
- @env{LOCPATH} environment variable (@pxref{locales-and-locpath,
- @env{LOCPATH} and locale packages}).
- The @code{locale-definition} form is provided by the @code{(gnu system
- locale)} module. Details are given below.
- @deftp {Data Type} locale-definition
- This is the data type of a locale definition.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- The name of the locale. @xref{Locale Names,,, libc, The GNU C Library
- Reference Manual}, for more information on locale names.
- @item @code{source}
- The name of the source for that locale. This is typically the
- @code{@var{language}_@var{territory}} part of the locale name.
- @item @code{charset} (default: @code{"UTF-8"})
- The ``character set'' or ``code set'' for that locale,
- @uref{https://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets, as defined by
- IANA}.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-locale-definitions
- A list of commonly used UTF-8 locales, used as the default
- value of the @code{locale-definitions} field of @code{operating-system}
- declarations.
- @cindex locale name
- @cindex normalized codeset in locale names
- These locale definitions use the @dfn{normalized codeset} for the part
- that follows the dot in the name (@pxref{Using gettextized software,
- normalized codeset,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}). So for
- instance it has @code{uk_UA.utf8} but @emph{not}, say,
- @code{uk_UA.UTF-8}.
- @end defvr
- @subsection Locale Data Compatibility Considerations
- @cindex incompatibility, of locale data
- @code{operating-system} declarations provide a @code{locale-libcs} field
- to specify the GNU@tie{}libc packages that are used to compile locale
- declarations (@pxref{operating-system Reference}). ``Why would I
- care?'', you may ask. Well, it turns out that the binary format of
- locale data is occasionally incompatible from one libc version to
- another.
- @c See <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00575.html>
- @c and <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-08/msg00737.html>.
- For instance, a program linked against libc version 2.21 is unable to
- read locale data produced with libc 2.22; worse, that program
- @emph{aborts} instead of simply ignoring the incompatible locale
- data@footnote{Versions 2.23 and later of GNU@tie{}libc will simply skip
- the incompatible locale data, which is already an improvement.}.
- Similarly, a program linked against libc 2.22 can read most, but not
- all, of the locale data from libc 2.21 (specifically, @env{LC_COLLATE}
- data is incompatible); thus calls to @code{setlocale} may fail, but
- programs will not abort.
- The ``problem'' with Guix is that users have a lot of freedom: They can
- choose whether and when to upgrade software in their profiles, and might
- be using a libc version different from the one the system administrator
- used to build the system-wide locale data.
- Fortunately, unprivileged users can also install their own locale data
- and define @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} accordingly (@pxref{locales-and-locpath,
- @env{GUIX_LOCPATH} and locale packages}).
- Still, it is best if the system-wide locale data at
- @file{/run/current-system/locale} is built for all the libc versions
- actually in use on the system, so that all the programs can access
- it---this is especially crucial on a multi-user system. To do that, the
- administrator can specify several libc packages in the
- @code{locale-libcs} field of @code{operating-system}:
- @lisp
- (use-package-modules base)
- (operating-system
- ;; @dots{}
- (locale-libcs (list glibc-2.21 (canonical-package glibc))))
- @end lisp
- This example would lead to a system containing locale definitions for
- both libc 2.21 and the current version of libc in
- @file{/run/current-system/locale}.
- @node Services
- @section Services
- @cindex system services
- An important part of preparing an @code{operating-system} declaration is
- listing @dfn{system services} and their configuration (@pxref{Using the
- Configuration System}). System services are typically daemons launched
- when the system boots, or other actions needed at that time---e.g.,
- configuring network access.
- Guix has a broad definition of ``service'' (@pxref{Service
- Composition}), but many services are managed by the GNU@tie{}Shepherd
- (@pxref{Shepherd Services}). On a running system, the @command{herd}
- command allows you to list the available services, show their status,
- start and stop them, or do other specific operations (@pxref{Jump
- Start,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}). For example:
- @example
- # herd status
- @end example
- The above command, run as @code{root}, lists the currently defined
- services. The @command{herd doc} command shows a synopsis of the given
- service and its associated actions:
- @example
- # herd doc nscd
- Run libc's name service cache daemon (nscd).
- # herd doc nscd action invalidate
- invalidate: Invalidate the given cache--e.g., 'hosts' for host name lookups.
- @end example
- The @command{start}, @command{stop}, and @command{restart} sub-commands
- have the effect you would expect. For instance, the commands below stop
- the nscd service and restart the Xorg display server:
- @example
- # herd stop nscd
- Service nscd has been stopped.
- # herd restart xorg-server
- Service xorg-server has been stopped.
- Service xorg-server has been started.
- @end example
- The following sections document the available services, starting with
- the core services, that may be used in an @code{operating-system}
- declaration.

- @node Base Services
- @subsection Base Services
- The @code{(gnu services base)} module provides definitions for the basic
- services that one expects from the system. The services exported by
- this module are listed below.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-services
- This variable contains a list of basic services (@pxref{Service Types
- and Services}, for more information on service objects) one would
- expect from the system: a login service (mingetty) on each tty, syslogd,
- the libc name service cache daemon (nscd), the udev device manager, and
- more.
- This is the default value of the @code{services} field of
- @code{operating-system} declarations. Usually, when customizing a
- system, you will want to append services to @code{%base-services}, like
- this:
- @lisp
- (append (list (service avahi-service-type)
- (service openssh-service-type))
- %base-services)
- @end lisp
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} special-files-service-type
- This is the service that sets up ``special files'' such as
- @file{/bin/sh}; an instance of it is part of @code{%base-services}.
- The value associated with @code{special-files-service-type} services
- must be a list of tuples where the first element is the ``special file''
- and the second element is its target. By default it is:
- @cindex @file{/bin/sh}
- @cindex @file{sh}, in @file{/bin}
- @lisp
- `(("/bin/sh" ,(file-append bash "/bin/sh")))
- @end lisp
- @cindex @file{/usr/bin/env}
- @cindex @file{env}, in @file{/usr/bin}
- If you want to add, say, @code{/usr/bin/env} to your system, you can
- change it to:
- @lisp
- `(("/bin/sh" ,(file-append bash "/bin/sh"))
- ("/usr/bin/env" ,(file-append coreutils "/bin/env")))
- @end lisp
- Since this is part of @code{%base-services}, you can use
- @code{modify-services} to customize the set of special files
- (@pxref{Service Reference, @code{modify-services}}). But the simple way
- to add a special file is @i{via} the @code{extra-special-file} procedure
- (see below).
- @end defvr
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} extra-special-file @var{file} @var{target}
- Use @var{target} as the ``special file'' @var{file}.
- For example, adding the following lines to the @code{services} field of
- your operating system declaration leads to a @file{/usr/bin/env}
- symlink:
- @lisp
- (extra-special-file "/usr/bin/env"
- (file-append coreutils "/bin/env"))
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} host-name-service @var{name}
- Return a service that sets the host name to @var{name}.
- @end deffn
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} console-font-service-type
- Install the given fonts on the specified ttys (fonts are per
- virtual console on the kernel Linux). The value of this service is a list of
- tty/font pairs. The font can be the name of a font provided by the @code{kbd}
- package or any valid argument to @command{setfont}, as in this example:
- @lisp
- `(("tty1" . "LatGrkCyr-8x16")
- ("tty2" . ,(file-append
- font-tamzen
- "/share/kbd/consolefonts/TamzenForPowerline10x20.psf"))

- @end deffn
- @deftp {Data Type} login-configuration
- This is the data type representing the configuration of login.

- @item @code{motd}
- @cindex message of the day
- A file-like object containing the ``message of the day''.
- @item @code{allow-empty-passwords?} (default: @code{#t})
- Allow empty passwords by default so that first-time users can log in when
- the 'root' account has just been created.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} mingetty-service @var{config}
- Return a service to run mingetty according to @var{config}, a

- @end deffn
- @deftp {Data Type} mingetty-configuration
- This is the data type representing the configuration of Mingetty, which
- provides the default implementation of virtual console log-in.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{tty}
- The name of the console this Mingetty runs on---e.g., @code{"tty1"}.
- @item @code{auto-login} (default: @code{#f})
- When true, this field must be a string denoting the user name under
- which the system automatically logs in. When it is @code{#f}, a
- user name and password must be entered to log in.
- @item @code{login-program} (default: @code{#f})
- This must be either @code{#f}, in which case the default log-in program
- is used (@command{login} from the Shadow tool suite), or a gexp denoting
- the name of the log-in program.
- @item @code{login-pause?} (default: @code{#f})
- When set to @code{#t} in conjunction with @var{auto-login}, the user
- will have to press a key before the log-in shell is launched.
- @item @code{clear-on-logout?} (default: @code{#t})
- When set to @code{#t}, the screen will be cleared after logout.
- @item @code{mingetty} (default: @var{mingetty})
- The Mingetty package to use.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} agetty-service @var{config}
- Return a service to run agetty according to @var{config}, an
- @code{<agetty-configuration>} object, which specifies the tty to run,
- among other things.
- @end deffn
- @deftp {Data Type} agetty-configuration
- This is the data type representing the configuration of agetty, which
- implements virtual and serial console log-in. See the @code{agetty(8)}
- man page for more information.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{tty}
- The name of the console this agetty runs on, as a string---e.g.,
- @code{"ttyS0"}. This argument is optional, it will default to
- a reasonable default serial port used by the kernel Linux.
- For this, if there is a value for an option @code{agetty.tty} in the kernel
- command line, agetty will extract the device name of the serial port
- from it and use that.
- If not and if there is a value for an option @code{console} with a tty in
- the Linux command line, agetty will extract the device name of the
- serial port from it and use that.

- not be displayed before presenting the login prompt.
- @item @code{init-string} (default: @code{#f})
- This accepts a string that will be sent to the tty or modem before
- sending anything else. It can be used to initialize a modem.

- Unicode characters.
- @item @code{wait-cr?} (default: @code{#f})
- When set to @code{#t}, wait for the user or modem to send a

- @item @code{allow-empty-passwords?} (default: @code{#f})
- When true, users with empty passwords may log in. When false, they may
- not.
- @item @code{password-authentication?} (default: @code{#t})

- Additional authorized keys can be specified @i{via}
- @code{service-extension}.
- Note that this does @emph{not} interfere with the use of

- @item @code{extra-content} (default: @code{""})
- This field can be used to append arbitrary text to the configuration file. It
- is especially useful for elaborate configurations that cannot be expressed
- otherwise. This configuration, for example, would generally disable root

- an SSH tunnel, and it respects the @file{~/.ssh/config} of the user it
- is run as.
- For example, to specify a service running autossh as the user
- @code{pino} and forwarding all local connections to port @code{8081} to
- @code{remote:8081} using an SSH tunnel, add this call to the operating

- @cindex unattended upgrades
- @cindex upgrades, unattended
- Guix provides a service to perform @emph{unattended upgrades}:
- periodically, the system automatically reconfigures itself from the
- latest Guix. Guix System has several properties that make unattended
- upgrades safe:
- @itemize
- @item
- upgrades are transactional (either the upgrade succeeds or it fails, but
- you cannot end up with an ``in-between'' system state);
- @item
- the upgrade log is kept---you can view it with @command{guix system
- list-generations}---and you can roll back to any previous generation,
- should the upgraded system fail to behave as intended;
- @item
- channel code is authenticated so you know you can only run genuine code
- (@pxref{Channels});
- @item
- @command{guix system reconfigure} prevents downgrades, which makes it
- immune to @dfn{downgrade attacks}.
- @end itemize
- To set up unattended upgrades, add an instance of
- @code{unattended-upgrade-service-type} like the one below to the list of
- your operating system services:
- @lisp
- (service unattended-upgrade-service-type)
- @end lisp
- The defaults above set up weekly upgrades: every Sunday at midnight.
- You do not need to provide the operating system configuration file: it
- uses @file{/run/current-system/configuration.scm}, which ensures it
- always uses your latest configuration---@pxref{provenance-service-type},
- for more information about this file.
- There are several things that can be configured, in particular the
- periodicity and services (daemons) to be restarted upon completion.
- When the upgrade is successful, the service takes care of deleting
- system generations older that some threshold, as per @command{guix
- system delete-generations}. See the reference below for details.
- To ensure that upgrades are actually happening, you can run
- @command{guix system describe}. To investigate upgrade failures, visit
- the unattended upgrade log file (see below).
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} unattended-upgrade-service-type
- This is the service type for unattended upgrades. It sets up an mcron
- job (@pxref{Scheduled Job Execution}) that runs @command{guix system
- reconfigure} from the latest version of the specified channels.
- Its value must be a @code{unattended-upgrade-configuration} record (see
- below).
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} unattended-upgrade-configuration
- This data type represents the configuration of the unattended upgrade
- service. The following fields are available:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{schedule} (default: @code{"30 01 * * 0"})
- This is the schedule of upgrades, expressed as a gexp containing an
- mcron job schedule (@pxref{Guile Syntax, mcron job specifications,,
- mcron, GNU@tie{}mcron}).
- @item @code{channels} (default: @code{#~%default-channels})
- This gexp specifies the channels to use for the upgrade
- (@pxref{Channels}). By default, the tip of the official @code{guix}
- channel is used.
- @item @code{operating-system-file} (default: @code{"/run/current-system/configuration.scm"})
- This field specifies the operating system configuration file to use.
- The default is to reuse the config file of the current configuration.
- There are cases, though, where referring to
- @file{/run/current-system/configuration.scm} is not enough, for instance
- because that file refers to extra files (SSH public keys, extra
- configuration files, etc.) @i{via} @code{local-file} and similar
- constructs. For those cases, we recommend something along these lines:
- @lisp
- (unattended-upgrade-configuration
- (operating-system-file
- (file-append (local-file "." "config-dir" #:recursive? #t)
- "/config.scm")))
- @end lisp
- The effect here is to import all of the current directory into the
- store, and to refer to @file{config.scm} within that directory.
- Therefore, uses of @code{local-file} within @file{config.scm} will work
- as expected. @xref{G-Expressions}, for information about
- @code{local-file} and @code{file-append}.
- @item @code{services-to-restart} (default: @code{'(mcron)})
- This field specifies the Shepherd services to restart when the upgrade
- completes.
- Those services are restarted right away upon completion, as with
- @command{herd restart}, which ensures that the latest version is
- running---remember that by default @command{guix system reconfigure}
- only restarts services that are not currently running, which is
- conservative: it minimizes disruption but leaves outdated services
- running.
- Use @command{herd status} to find out candidates for restarting.
- @xref{Services}, for general information about services. Common
- services to restart would include @code{ntpd} and @code{ssh-daemon}.
- By default, the @code{mcron} service is restarted. This ensures that
- the latest version of the unattended upgrade job will be used next time.
- @item @code{system-expiration} (default: @code{(* 3 30 24 3600)})
- This is the expiration time in seconds for system generations. System
- generations older that this amount of time are deleted with
- @command{guix system delete-generations} when an upgrade completes.
- @quotation Note
- The unattended upgrade service does not run the garbage collector. You
- will probably want to set up your own mcron job to run @command{guix gc}
- periodically.
- @end quotation
- @item @code{maximum-duration} (default: @code{3600})
- Maximum duration in seconds for the upgrade; past that time, the upgrade
- aborts.
- This is primarily useful to ensure the upgrade does not end up
- rebuilding or re-downloading ``the world''.
- @item @code{log-file} (default: @code{"/var/log/unattended-upgrade.log"})
- File where unattended upgrades are logged.

- @node Printing Services
- @subsection Printing Services
- @cindex printer support with CUPS
- The @code{(gnu services cups)} module provides a Guix service definition
- for the CUPS printing service. To add printer support to a Guix
- system, add a @code{cups-service} to the operating system definition:
- @deffn {Scheme Variable} cups-service-type
- The service type for the CUPS print server. Its value should be a valid
- CUPS configuration (see below). To use the default settings, simply
- write:
- @lisp
- (service cups-service-type)
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- The CUPS configuration controls the basic things about your CUPS
- installation: what interfaces it listens on, what to do if a print job
- fails, how much logging to do, and so on. To actually add a printer,
- you have to visit the @url{http://localhost:631} URL, or use a tool such
- as GNOME's printer configuration services. By default, configuring a
- CUPS service will generate a self-signed certificate if needed, for
- secure connections to the print server.
- Suppose you want to enable the Web interface of CUPS and also add
- support for Epson printers @i{via} the @code{epson-inkjet-printer-escpr}
- package and for HP printers @i{via} the @code{hplip-minimal} package.
- You can do that directly, like this (you need to use the
- @code{(gnu packages cups)} module):
- @lisp
- (service cups-service-type
- (cups-configuration
- (web-interface? #t)
- (extensions
- (list cups-filters epson-inkjet-printer-escpr hplip-minimal))))
- @end lisp
- Note: If you wish to use the Qt5 based GUI which comes with the hplip
- package then it is suggested that you install the @code{hplip} package,
- either in your OS configuration file or as your user.
- The available configuration parameters follow. Each parameter
- definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
- indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
- strings. There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string,
- if you have an old @code{cupsd.conf} file that you want to port over
- from some other system; see the end for more details.
- @c The following documentation was initially generated by
- @c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services cups). Manually maintained
- @c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
- @c needed. However if the change you want to make to this documentation
- @c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
- @c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with
- @c the churn as CUPS updates.

- spools, and related privileged configuration parameters.
- Available @code{files-configuration} fields are:
- @deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} log-location access-log
- Defines the access log filename. Specifying a blank filename disables
- access log generation. The value @code{stderr} causes log entries to be
- sent to the standard error file when the scheduler is running in the
- foreground, or to the system log daemon when run in the background. The
- value @code{syslog} causes log entries to be sent to the system log
- daemon. The server name may be included in filenames using the string
- @code{%s}, as in @code{/var/log/cups/%s-access_log}.
- Defaults to @samp{"/var/log/cups/access_log"}.

- Specifies the permissions for all configuration files that the scheduler
- writes.
- Note that the permissions for the printers.conf file are currently
- masked to only allow access from the scheduler user (typically root).
- This is done because printer device URIs sometimes contain sensitive
- authentication information that should not be generally known on the
- system. There is no way to disable this security feature.
- Defaults to @samp{"0640"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} log-location error-log
- Defines the error log filename. Specifying a blank filename disables

- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} host-name-list-or-* server-alias
- The ServerAlias directive is used for HTTP Host header validation when
- clients connect to the scheduler from external interfaces. Using the
- special name @code{*} can expose your system to known browser-based DNS
- rebinding attacks, even when accessing sites through a firewall. If the
- auto-discovery of alternate names does not work, we recommend listing
- each alternate name with a ServerAlias directive instead of using
- @code{*}.
- Defaults to @samp{*}.

- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} ssl-options ssl-options
- Sets encryption options. By default, CUPS only supports encryption
- using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites. Security is
- reduced when @code{Allow} options are used, and enhanced when @code{Deny}
- options are used. The @code{AllowRC4} option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher
- suites, which are required for some older clients. The @code{AllowSSL3} option
- enables SSL v3.0, which is required for some older clients that do not support
- TLS v1.0. The @code{DenyCBC} option disables all CBC cipher suites. The
- @code{DenyTLS1.0} option disables TLS v1.0 support - this sets the minimum
- protocol version to TLS v1.1.
- Defaults to @samp{()}.
- @end deftypevr

- @end deftypevr
- At this point you're probably thinking ``oh dear, Guix manual, I like
- you but you can stop already with the configuration options''. Indeed.
- However, one more point: it could be that you have an existing
- @code{cupsd.conf} that you want to use. In that case, you can pass an
- @code{opaque-cups-configuration} as the configuration of a
- @code{cups-service-type}.
- Available @code{opaque-cups-configuration} fields are:
- @deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} package cups
- The CUPS package.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} string cupsd.conf
- The contents of the @code{cupsd.conf}, as a string.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} string cups-files.conf
- The contents of the @code{cups-files.conf} file, as a string.
- @end deftypevr
- For example, if your @code{cupsd.conf} and @code{cups-files.conf} are in
- strings of the same name, you could instantiate a CUPS service like
- this:
- @lisp
- (service cups-service-type
- (opaque-cups-configuration
- (cupsd.conf cupsd.conf)
- (cups-files.conf cups-files.conf)))

- @node Desktop Services
- @subsection Desktop Services
- The @code{(gnu services desktop)} module provides services that are
- usually useful in the context of a ``desktop'' setup---that is, on a
- machine running a graphical display server, possibly with graphical user
- interfaces, etc. It also defines services that provide specific desktop
- environments like GNOME, Xfce or MATE.
- To simplify things, the module defines a variable containing the set of
- services that users typically expect on a machine with a graphical
- environment and networking:
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %desktop-services
- This is a list of services that builds upon @code{%base-services} and
- adds or adjusts services for a typical ``desktop'' setup.
- In particular, it adds a graphical login manager (@pxref{X Window,
- @code{gdm-service-type}}), screen lockers, a network management tool
- (@pxref{Networking Services, @code{network-manager-service-type}}) with modem
- support (@pxref{Networking Services, @code{modem-manager-service-type}}),
- energy and color management services, the @code{elogind} login and seat
- manager, the Polkit privilege service, the GeoClue location service, the
- AccountsService daemon that allows authorized users change system passwords,
- an NTP client (@pxref{Networking Services}), the Avahi daemon, and has the
- name service switch service configured to be able to use @code{nss-mdns}
- (@pxref{Name Service Switch, mDNS}).
- @end defvr
- The @code{%desktop-services} variable can be used as the @code{services}
- field of an @code{operating-system} declaration (@pxref{operating-system
- Reference, @code{services}}).
- Additionally, the @code{gnome-desktop-service-type},
- @code{xfce-desktop-service}, @code{mate-desktop-service-type},
- @code{lxqt-desktop-service-type} and @code{enlightenment-desktop-service-type}
- procedures can add GNOME, Xfce, MATE and/or Enlightenment to a system. To
- ``add GNOME'' means that system-level services like the backlight adjustment
- helpers and the power management utilities are added to the system, extending
- @code{polkit} and @code{dbus} appropriately, allowing GNOME to operate with
- elevated privileges on a limited number of special-purpose system interfaces.
- Additionally, adding a service made by @code{gnome-desktop-service-type} adds
- the GNOME metapackage to the system profile. Likewise, adding the Xfce
- service not only adds the @code{xfce} metapackage to the system profile, but
- it also gives the Thunar file manager the ability to open a ``root-mode'' file
- management window, if the user authenticates using the administrator's
- password via the standard polkit graphical interface. To ``add MATE'' means
- that @code{polkit} and @code{dbus} are extended appropriately, allowing MATE
- to operate with elevated privileges on a limited number of special-purpose
- system interfaces. Additionally, adding a service of type
- @code{mate-desktop-service-type} adds the MATE metapackage to the system
- profile. ``Adding Enlightenment'' means that @code{dbus} is extended
- appropriately, and several of Enlightenment's binaries are set as setuid,
- allowing Enlightenment's screen locker and other functionality to work as
- expected.
- The desktop environments in Guix use the Xorg display server by
- default. If you'd like to use the newer display server protocol
- called Wayland, you need to use the @code{sddm-service} instead of
- GDM as the graphical login manager. You should then
- select the ``GNOME (Wayland)'' session in SDDM@. Alternatively you can
- also try starting GNOME on Wayland manually from a TTY with the
- command ``XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session
- gnome-session``. Currently only GNOME has support for Wayland.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} gnome-desktop-service-type
- This is the type of the service that adds the @uref{https://www.gnome.org,
- GNOME} desktop environment. Its value is a @code{gnome-desktop-configuration}
- object (see below).
- This service adds the @code{gnome} package to the system profile, and extends
- polkit with the actions from @code{gnome-settings-daemon}.
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} gnome-desktop-configuration
- Configuration record for the GNOME desktop environment.

- @defvr {Scheme Variable} xfce-desktop-service-type
- This is the type of a service to run the @uref{Xfce, https://xfce.org/}
- desktop environment. Its value is an @code{xfce-desktop-configuration} object
- (see below).
- This service adds the @code{xfce} package to the system profile, and
- extends polkit with the ability for @code{thunar} to manipulate the file
- system as root from within a user session, after the user has authenticated
- with the administrator's password.
- Note that @code{xfce4-panel} and its plugin packages should be installed in
- the same profile to ensure compatibility. When using this service, you should
- add extra plugins (@code{xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin},
- @code{xfce4-weather-plugin}, etc.) to the @code{packages} field of your
- @code{operating-system}.
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} xfce-desktop-configuration

- @table @asis
- @item @code{enlightenment} (default: @code{enlightenment})
- The enlightenment package to use.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- Because the GNOME, Xfce and MATE desktop services pull in so many packages,
- the default @code{%desktop-services} variable doesn't include any of
- them by default. To add GNOME, Xfce or MATE, just @code{cons} them onto
- @code{%desktop-services} in the @code{services} field of your
- @code{operating-system}:
- @lisp
- (use-modules (gnu))
- (use-service-modules desktop)
- (operating-system
- ...
- ;; cons* adds items to the list given as its last argument.
- (services (cons* (service gnome-desktop-service-type)
- (service xfce-desktop-service)
- %desktop-services))
- ...)
- @end lisp
- These desktop environments will then be available as options in the
- graphical login window.
- The actual service definitions included in @code{%desktop-services} and
- provided by @code{(gnu services dbus)} and @code{(gnu services desktop)}
- are described below.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} dbus-service [#:dbus @var{dbus}] [#:services '()]
- Return a service that runs the ``system bus'', using @var{dbus}, with

- @uref{https://dbus.freedesktop.org/, D-Bus} is an inter-process communication
- facility. Its system bus is used to allow system services to communicate
- and to be notified of system-wide events.
- @var{services} must be a list of packages that provide an
- @file{etc/dbus-1/system.d} directory containing additional D-Bus configuration
- and policy files. For example, to allow avahi-daemon to use the system bus,
- @var{services} must be equal to @code{(list avahi)}.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} elogind-service [#:config @var{config}]
- Return a service that runs the @code{elogind} login and
- seat management daemon. @uref{https://github.com/elogind/elogind,
- Elogind} exposes a D-Bus interface that can be used to know which users
- are logged in, know what kind of sessions they have open, suspend the
- system, inhibit system suspend, reboot the system, and other tasks.
- Elogind handles most system-level power events for a computer, for
- example suspending the system when a lid is closed, or shutting it down
- when the power button is pressed.
- The @var{config} keyword argument specifies the configuration for
- elogind, and should be the result of an @code{(elogind-configuration
- (@var{parameter} @var{value})...)} invocation. Available parameters and

- restart the service.
- Peer authentication is used by default and the @code{postgres} user
- account has no shell, which prevents the direct execution of @code{psql}
- commands as this user. To use @code{psql}, you can temporarily log in
- as @code{postgres} using a shell, create a PostgreSQL superuser with the
- same name as one of the system users and then create the associated
- database.
- @example
- sudo -u postgres -s /bin/sh
- createuser --interactive
- createdb $MY_USER_LOGIN # Replace appropriately.
- @end example
- @deftp {Data Type} postgresql-configuration

- for the fields.
- @item @code{log-directory} (default: @code{"/var/log/postgresql"})
- The directory where @command{pg_ctl} output will be written in a file

- @cindex postgis
- @lisp
- (use-package-modules databases geo)
- (operating-system

- @example
- psql -U postgres
- > create database postgistest;

- Dovecot will also listen on cleartext ports by default. There are a
- number of options, though, which mail administrators might need to change,
- and as is the case with other services, Guix allows the system
- administrator to specify these parameters via a uniform Scheme interface.
- For example, to specify that mail is located at @code{maildir~/.mail},
- one would instantiate the Dovecot service like this:
- @lisp
- (dovecot-service #:config
- (dovecot-configuration
- (mail-location "maildir:~/.mail")))
- @end lisp
- The available configuration parameters follow. Each parameter
- definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
- indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
- strings. There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string,
- if you have an old @code{dovecot.conf} file that you want to port over
- from some other system; see the end for more details.
- @c The following documentation was initially generated by
- @c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services mail). Manually maintained
- @c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
- @c needed. However if the change you want to make to this documentation
- @c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
- @c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with

- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean shutdown-clients?
- Should all processes be killed when Dovecot master process shuts down.
- Setting this to @code{#f} means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
- forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also
- be a problem if the upgrade is e.g.@: due to a security fix).
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer doveadm-worker-count

- cache isn't used. For now this works only with plaintext
- authentication.
- Defaults to @samp{"1 hour"}.

- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string auth-username-format
- Username formatting before it's looked up from databases. You can
- use the standard variables here, e.g.@: %Lu would lowercase the username,

- Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables:
- @table @code
- @item %$
- Delivery status message (e.g.@: @samp{saved to INBOX})
- @item %m
- Message-ID
- @item %s
- Subject
- @item %f
- From address
- @item %p
- Physical size
- @item %w
- Virtual size.
- @end table
- Defaults to @samp{"msgid=%m: %$"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-location
- Location for users' mailboxes. The default is empty, which means
- that Dovecot tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work
- if the user doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell
- Dovecot the full location.
- If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX
- file (e.g.@: @file{/var/mail/%u}) isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot
- where the other mailboxes are kept. This is called the @emph{root mail
- directory}, and it must be the first path given in the
- @samp{mail-location} setting.
- There are a few special variables you can use, e.g.:
- @table @samp
- @item %u
- username
- @item %n
- user part in user@@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
- @item %d
- domain part in user@@domain, empty if there's no domain
- @item %h
- home director
- @end table
- See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list. Some examples:
- @table @samp
- @item maildir:~/Maildir
- @item mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
- @item mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%
- @end table
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-uid
- System user and group used to access mails. If you use multiple,
- userdb can override these by returning uid or gid fields. You can use
- either numbers or names. <doc/wiki/UserIds.txt>.
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-gid
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-privileged-group
- Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently
- this is used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or
- dotlocking fails. Typically this is set to @samp{"mail"} to give access to
- @file{/var/mail}.
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-access-groups
- Grant access to these supplementary groups for mail processes.
- Typically these are used to set up access to shared mailboxes. Note
- that it may be dangerous to set these if users can create symlinks
- (e.g.@: if @samp{mail} group is set here, @code{ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var}
- could allow a user to delete others' mailboxes, or @code{ln -s
- /secret/shared/box ~/mail/mybox} would allow reading it). Defaults to
- @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-full-filesystem-access?
- Allow full file system access to clients. There's no access checks
- other than what the operating system does for the active UID/GID@. It
- works with both maildir and mboxes, allowing you to prefix mailboxes
- names with e.g.@: @file{/path/} or @file{~user/}.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mmap-disable?
- Don't use @code{mmap()} at all. This is required if you store indexes to
- shared file systems (NFS or clustered file system).
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean dotlock-use-excl?
- Rely on @samp{O_EXCL} to work when creating dotlock files. NFS
- supports @samp{O_EXCL} since version 3, so this should be safe to use
- nowadays by default.
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-fsync
- When to use fsync() or fdatasync() calls:
- @table @code
- @item optimized
- Whenever necessary to avoid losing important data
- @item always
- Useful with e.g.@: NFS when @code{write()}s are delayed
- @item never
- Never use it (best performance, but crashes can lose data).
- @end table
- Defaults to @samp{"optimized"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-nfs-storage?
- Mail storage exists in NFS@. Set this to yes to make Dovecot flush
- NFS caches whenever needed. If you're using only a single mail server
- this isn't needed.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-nfs-index?
- Mail index files also exist in NFS@. Setting this to yes requires
- @samp{mmap-disable? #t} and @samp{fsync-disable? #f}.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string lock-method
- Locking method for index files. Alternatives are fcntl, flock and
- dotlock. Dotlocking uses some tricks which may create more disk I/O
- than other locking methods. NFS users: flock doesn't work, remember to
- change @samp{mmap-disable}.
- Defaults to @samp{"fcntl"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name mail-temp-dir
- Directory in which LDA/LMTP temporarily stores incoming mails >128
- kB.
- Defaults to @samp{"/tmp"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer first-valid-uid
- Valid UID range for users. This is mostly to make sure that users can't
- log in as daemons or other system users. Note that denying root logins is
- hardcoded to dovecot binary and can't be done even if @samp{first-valid-uid}
- is set to 0.
- Defaults to @samp{500}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer last-valid-uid
- Defaults to @samp{0}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer first-valid-gid
- Valid GID range for users. Users having non-valid GID as primary group ID
- aren't allowed to log in. If user belongs to supplementary groups with
- non-valid GIDs, those groups are not set.
- Defaults to @samp{1}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer last-valid-gid
- Defaults to @samp{0}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mail-max-keyword-length
- Maximum allowed length for mail keyword name. It's only forced when
- trying to create new keywords.
- Defaults to @samp{50}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} colon-separated-file-name-list valid-chroot-dirs
- List of directories under which chrooting is allowed for mail
- processes (i.e.@: @file{/var/mail} will allow chrooting to @file{/var/mail/foo/bar}
- too). This setting doesn't affect @samp{login-chroot}
- @samp{mail-chroot} or auth chroot settings. If this setting is empty,
- @samp{/./} in home dirs are ignored. WARNING: Never add directories here
- which local users can modify, that may lead to root exploit. Usually
- this should be done only if you don't allow shell access for users.
- <doc/wiki/Chrooting.txt>.
- Defaults to @samp{()}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-chroot
- Default chroot directory for mail processes. This can be overridden
- for specific users in user database by giving @samp{/./} in user's home
- directory (e.g.@: @samp{/home/./user} chroots into @file{/home}). Note that usually
- there is no real need to do chrooting, Dovecot doesn't allow users to
- access files outside their mail directory anyway. If your home
- directories are prefixed with the chroot directory, append @samp{/.} to
- @samp{mail-chroot}. <doc/wiki/Chrooting.txt>.
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name auth-socket-path
- UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users.
- This is used by imap (for shared users) and lda.
- Defaults to @samp{"/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} file-name mail-plugin-dir
- Directory where to look up mail plugins.
- Defaults to @samp{"/usr/lib/dovecot"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mail-plugins
- List of plugins to load for all services. Plugins specific to IMAP,
- LDA, etc.@: are added to this list in their own .conf files.
- Defaults to @samp{()}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mail-cache-min-mail-count
- The minimum number of mails in a mailbox before updates are done to
- cache file. This allows optimizing Dovecot's behavior to do less disk
- writes at the cost of more disk reads.
- Defaults to @samp{0}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mailbox-idle-check-interval
- When IDLE command is running, mailbox is checked once in a while to
- see if there are any new mails or other changes. This setting defines
- the minimum time to wait between those checks. Dovecot can also use
- dnotify, inotify and kqueue to find out immediately when changes
- occur.
- Defaults to @samp{"30 secs"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mail-save-crlf?
- Save mails with CR+LF instead of plain LF@. This makes sending those
- mails take less CPU, especially with sendfile() syscall with Linux and
- FreeBSD@. But it also creates a bit more disk I/O which may just make it
- slower. Also note that if other software reads the mboxes/maildirs,
- they may handle the extra CRs wrong and cause problems.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-stat-dirs?
- By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning
- with a dot. Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries
- which are directories. This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it
- causes more disk I/O.
- (For systems setting struct @samp{dirent->d_type} this check is free
- and it's done always regardless of this setting).
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-copy-with-hardlinks?
- When copying a message, do it with hard links whenever possible.
- This makes the performance much better, and it's unlikely to have any
- side effects.
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean maildir-very-dirty-syncs?
- Assume Dovecot is the only MUA accessing Maildir: Scan cur/
- directory only when its mtime changes unexpectedly or when we can't find
- the mail otherwise.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mbox-read-locks
- Which locking methods to use for locking mbox. There are four
- available:
- @table @code
- @item dotlock
- Create <mailbox>.lock file. This is the oldest and most NFS-safe
- solution. If you want to use /var/mail/ like directory, the users will
- need write access to that directory.
- @item dotlock-try
- Same as dotlock, but if it fails because of permissions or because there
- isn't enough disk space, just skip it.
- @item fcntl
- Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
- @item flock
- May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
- @item lockf
- May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
- @end table
- You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
- in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
- locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of
- them simultaneously.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} space-separated-string-list mbox-write-locks
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mbox-lock-timeout
- Maximum time to wait for lock (all of them) before aborting.
- Defaults to @samp{"5 mins"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mbox-dotlock-change-timeout
- If dotlock exists but the mailbox isn't modified in any way,
- override the lock file after this much time.
- Defaults to @samp{"2 mins"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-dirty-syncs?
- When mbox changes unexpectedly we have to fully read it to find out
- what changed. If the mbox is large this can take a long time. Since
- the change is usually just a newly appended mail, it'd be faster to
- simply read the new mails. If this setting is enabled, Dovecot does
- this but still safely fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file
- whenever something in mbox isn't how it's expected to be. The only real
- downside to this setting is that if some other MUA changes message
- flags, Dovecot doesn't notice it immediately. Note that a full sync is
- done with SELECT, EXAMINE, EXPUNGE and CHECK commands.
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-very-dirty-syncs?
- Like @samp{mbox-dirty-syncs}, but don't do full syncs even with SELECT,
- EXAMINE, EXPUNGE or CHECK commands. If this is set,
- @samp{mbox-dirty-syncs} is ignored.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mbox-lazy-writes?
- Delay writing mbox headers until doing a full write sync (EXPUNGE
- and CHECK commands and when closing the mailbox). This is especially
- useful for POP3 where clients often delete all mails. The downside is
- that our changes aren't immediately visible to other MUAs.
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mbox-min-index-size
- If mbox size is smaller than this (e.g.@: 100k), don't write index
- files. If an index file already exists it's still read, just not
- updated.
- Defaults to @samp{0}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mdbox-rotate-size
- Maximum dbox file size until it's rotated.
- Defaults to @samp{10000000}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mdbox-rotate-interval
- Maximum dbox file age until it's rotated. Typically in days. Day
- begins from midnight, so 1d = today, 2d = yesterday, etc. 0 = check
- disabled.
- Defaults to @samp{"1d"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean mdbox-preallocate-space?
- When creating new mdbox files, immediately preallocate their size to
- @samp{mdbox-rotate-size}. This setting currently works only in Linux
- with some file systems (ext4, xfs).
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-attachment-dir
- sdbox and mdbox support saving mail attachments to external files,
- which also allows single instance storage for them. Other backends
- don't support this for now.
- WARNING: This feature hasn't been tested much yet. Use at your own risk.
- Directory root where to store mail attachments. Disabled, if empty.
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer mail-attachment-min-size
- Attachments smaller than this aren't saved externally. It's also
- possible to write a plugin to disable saving specific attachments
- externally.
- Defaults to @samp{128000}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-attachment-fs
- File system backend to use for saving attachments:
- @table @code
- @item posix
- No SiS done by Dovecot (but this might help FS's own deduplication)
- @item sis posix
- SiS with immediate byte-by-byte comparison during saving
- @item sis-queue posix
- SiS with delayed comparison and deduplication.
- @end table
- Defaults to @samp{"sis posix"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-attachment-hash
- Hash format to use in attachment filenames. You can add any text and
- variables: @code{%@{md4@}}, @code{%@{md5@}}, @code{%@{sha1@}},
- @code{%@{sha256@}}, @code{%@{sha512@}}, @code{%@{size@}}. Variables can be
- truncated, e.g.@: @code{%@{sha256:80@}} returns only first 80 bits.
- Defaults to @samp{"%@{sha1@}"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer default-process-limit
- Defaults to @samp{100}.
- @end deftypevr

- Defaults to @samp{1000}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer default-vsz-limit
- Default VSZ (virtual memory size) limit for service processes.
- This is mainly intended to catch and kill processes that leak memory
- before they eat up everything.
- Defaults to @samp{256000000}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string default-login-user
- Login user is internally used by login processes. This is the most
- untrusted user in Dovecot system. It shouldn't have access to anything
- at all.
- Defaults to @samp{"dovenull"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string default-internal-user
- Internal user is used by unprivileged processes. It should be
- separate from login user, so that login processes can't disturb other
- processes.
- Defaults to @samp{"dovecot"}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string ssl?
- SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>.

- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string ssl-key-password
- If key file is password protected, give the password here.
- Alternatively give it when starting dovecot with -p parameter. Since

- instead to a different.
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string ssl-ca
- PEM encoded trusted certificate authority. Set this only if you
- intend to use @samp{ssl-verify-client-cert? #t}. The file should
- contain the CA certificate(s) followed by the matching
- CRL(s). (e.g.@: @samp{ssl-ca </etc/ssl/certs/ca.pem}).
- Defaults to @samp{""}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean ssl-require-crl?
- Require that CRL check succeeds for client certificates.
- Defaults to @samp{#t}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} boolean ssl-verify-client-cert?
- Request client to send a certificate. If you also want to require

- subscribed?.
- Defaults to @samp{#f}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer imap-max-line-length
- Maximum IMAP command line length. Some clients generate very long

- Workarounds for various client bugs:
- @table @code
- @item delay-newmail
- Send EXISTS/RECENT new mail notifications only when replying to NOOP and
- CHECK commands. Some clients ignore them otherwise, for example OSX
- Mail (<v2.1). Outlook Express breaks more badly though, without this it
- may show user "Message no longer in server" errors. Note that OE6
- still breaks even with this workaround if synchronization is set to
- "Headers Only".
- @item tb-extra-mailbox-sep
- Thunderbird gets somehow confused with LAYOUT=fs (mbox and dbox) and
- adds extra @samp{/} suffixes to mailbox names. This option causes Dovecot to
- ignore the extra @samp{/} instead of treating it as invalid mailbox name.
- @item tb-lsub-flags
- Show \Noselect flags for LSUB replies with LAYOUT=fs (e.g.@: mbox).
- This makes Thunderbird realize they aren't selectable and show them
- greyed out, instead of only later giving "not selectable" popup error.

- Whew! Lots of configuration options. The nice thing about it though is
- that Guix has a complete interface to Dovecot's configuration
- language. This allows not only a nice way to declare configurations,
- but also offers reflective capabilities as well: users can write code to
- inspect and transform configurations from within Scheme.
- However, it could be that you just want to get a @code{dovecot.conf} up
- and running. In that case, you can pass an
- @code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} as the @code{#:config} parameter to
- @code{dovecot-service}. As its name indicates, an opaque configuration
- does not have easy reflective capabilities.
- Available @code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} fields are:
- @deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} package dovecot
- The dovecot package.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{opaque-dovecot-configuration} parameter} string string
- The contents of the @code{dovecot.conf}, as a string.

- @subsubheading Prosody Service
- @deffn {Scheme Variable} prosody-service-type
- This is the type for the @uref{https://prosody.im, Prosody XMPP

- @end lisp
- See below for details about @code{prosody-configuration}.
- @end deffn
- By default, Prosody does not need much configuration. Only one
- @code{virtualhosts} field is needed: it specifies the domain you wish
- Prosody to serve.
- You can perform various sanity checks on the generated configuration
- with the @code{prosodyctl check} command.
- Prosodyctl will also help you to import certificates from the
- @code{letsencrypt} directory so that the @code{prosody} user can access
- them. See @url{https://prosody.im/doc/letsencrypt}.
- @example
- prosodyctl --root cert import /etc/letsencrypt/live
- @end example
- The available configuration parameters follow. Each parameter
- definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
- indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
- strings. Types starting with @code{maybe-} denote parameters that won't
- show up in @code{prosody.cfg.lua} when their value is @code{'disabled}.
- There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string, if you
- have an old @code{prosody.cfg.lua} file that you want to port over from
- some other system; see the end for more details.
- The @code{file-object} type designates either a file-like object
- (@pxref{G-Expressions, file-like objects}) or a file name.
- @c The following documentation was initially generated by
- @c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services messaging). Manually maintained
- @c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
- @c needed. However if the change you want to make to this documentation
- @c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
- @c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with

- @samp{"example.com"}. All options in this list will apply only to this host.
- Note: the name @emph{virtual} host is used in configuration to avoid confusion with
- the actual physical host that Prosody is installed on. A single Prosody
- instance can serve many domains, each one defined as a VirtualHost entry in
- Prosody's configuration. Conversely a server that hosts a single domain would

- @subsubheading Transmission Daemon Service
- @uref{https://transmissionbt.com/, Transmission} is a flexible
- BitTorrent client that offers a variety of graphical and command-line
- interfaces. A @code{transmission-daemon-service-type} service provides
- Transmission's headless variant, @command{transmission-daemon}, as a
- system service, allowing users to share files via BitTorrent even when
- they are not logged in.
- @deffn {Scheme Variable} transmission-daemon-service-type
- The service type for the Transmission Daemon BitTorrent client. Its
- value must be a @code{transmission-daemon-configuration} object as in
- this example:
- @lisp
- (service transmission-daemon-service-type
- (transmission-daemon-configuration
- ;; Restrict access to the RPC ("control") interface
- (rpc-authentication-required? #t)
- (rpc-username "transmission")
- (rpc-password
- (transmission-password-hash
- "transmission" ; desired password
- "uKd1uMs9")) ; arbitrary salt value
- ;; Accept requests from this and other hosts on the
- ;; local network
- (rpc-whitelist-enabled? #t)
- (rpc-whitelist '("::1" "127.0.0.1" "192.168.0.*"))
- ;; Limit bandwidth use during work hours
- (alt-speed-down (* 1024 2)) ; 2 MB/s
- (alt-speed-up 512) ; 512 kB/s

- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- Once the service is started, users can interact with the daemon through
- its Web interface (at @code{http://localhost:9091/}) or by using the
- @command{transmission-remote} command-line tool, available in the
- @code{transmission} package. (Emacs users may want to also consider the
- @code{emacs-transmission} package.) Both communicate with the daemon
- through its remote procedure call (RPC) interface, which by default is
- available to all users on the system; you may wish to change this by
- assigning values to the @code{rpc-authentication-required?},
- @code{rpc-username} and @code{rpc-password} settings, as shown in the
- example above and documented further below.
- The value for @code{rpc-password} must be a password hash of the type
- generated and used by Transmission clients. This can be copied verbatim
- from an existing @file{settings.json} file, if another Transmission
- client is already being used. Otherwise, the
- @code{transmission-password-hash} and @code{transmission-random-salt}
- procedures provided by this module can be used to obtain a suitable hash
- value.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} transmission-password-hash @var{password} @var{salt}
- Returns a string containing the result of hashing @var{password}
- together with @var{salt}, in the format recognized by Transmission
- clients for their @code{rpc-password} configuration setting.
- @var{salt} must be an eight-character string. The
- @code{transmission-random-salt} procedure can be used to generate a
- suitable salt value at random.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} transmission-random-salt
- Returns a string containing a random, eight-character salt value of the
- type generated and used by Transmission clients, suitable for passing to
- the @code{transmission-password-hash} procedure.
- @end deffn
- These procedures are accessible from within a Guile REPL started with
- the @command{guix repl} command (@pxref{Invoking guix repl}). This is
- useful for obtaining a random salt value to provide as the second
- parameter to `transmission-password-hash`, as in this example session:
- @example
- $ guix repl
- scheme@@(guix-user)> ,use (gnu services file-sharing)
- scheme@@(guix-user)> (transmission-random-salt)
- $1 = "uKd1uMs9"
- @end example
- Alternatively, a complete password hash can generated in a single step:
- @example
- scheme@@(guix-user)> (transmission-password-hash "transmission"
- (transmission-random-salt))
- $2 = "@{c8bbc6d1740cd8dc819a6e25563b67812c1c19c9VtFPfdsX"
- @end example
- The resulting string can be used as-is for the value of
- @code{rpc-password}, allowing the password to be kept hidden even in the
- operating-system configuration.
- Torrent files downloaded by the daemon are directly accessible only to
- users in the ``transmission'' user group, who receive read-only access
- to the directory specified by the @code{download-dir} configuration
- setting (and also the directory specified by @code{incomplete-dir}, if
- @code{incomplete-dir-enabled?} is @code{#t}). Downloaded files can be
- moved to another directory or deleted altogether using
- @command{transmission-remote} with its @code{--move} and
- @code{--remove-and-delete} options.
- If the @code{watch-dir-enabled?} setting is set to @code{#t}, users in
- the ``transmission'' group are able also to place @file{.torrent} files
- in the directory specified by @code{watch-dir} to have the corresponding
- torrents added by the daemon. (The @code{trash-original-torrent-files?}
- setting controls whether the daemon deletes these files after processing
- them.)
- Some of the daemon's configuration settings can be changed temporarily
- by @command{transmission-remote} and similar tools. To undo these
- changes, use the service's @code{reload} action to have the daemon
- reload its settings from disk:
- @example
- # herd reload transmission-daemon
- @end example

- @code{transmission-daemon-configuration} data type.

- @cindex Kerberos
- The @code{(gnu services kerberos)} module provides services relating to
- the authentication protocol @dfn{Kerberos}.
- @subsubheading Krb5 Service
- Programs using a Kerberos client library normally
- expect a configuration file in @file{/etc/krb5.conf}.
- This service generates such a file from a definition provided in the
- operating system declaration.
- It does not cause any daemon to be started.
- No ``keytab'' files are provided by this service---you must explicitly create them.
- This service is known to work with the MIT client library, @code{mit-krb5}.
- Other implementations have not been tested.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} krb5-service-type
- A service type for Kerberos 5 clients.
- @end defvr
- @noindent
- Here is an example of its use:
- @lisp
- (service krb5-service-type
- (krb5-configuration
- (default-realm "EXAMPLE.COM")
- (allow-weak-crypto? #t)
- (realms (list

- This example provides a Kerberos@tie{}5 client configuration which:
- @itemize
- @item Recognizes two realms, @i{viz:} ``EXAMPLE.COM'' and ``ARGRX.EDU'', both
- of which have distinct administration servers and key distribution centers;
- @item Will default to the realm ``EXAMPLE.COM'' if the realm is not explicitly
- specified by clients;
- @item Accepts services which only support encryption types known to be weak.
- @end itemize
- The @code{krb5-realm} and @code{krb5-configuration} types have many fields.
- Only the most commonly used ones are described here.
- For a full list, and more detailed explanation of each, see the MIT
- @uref{https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html,,krb5.conf}
- documentation.
- @deftp {Data Type} krb5-realm
- @cindex realm, kerberos
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- This field is a string identifying the name of the realm.
- A common convention is to use the fully qualified DNS name of your organization,
- converted to upper case.
- @item @code{admin-server}
- This field is a string identifying the host where the administration server is
- running.
- @item @code{kdc}
- This field is a string identifying the key distribution center
- for the realm.

- @item @code{allow-weak-crypto?} (default: @code{#f})
- If this flag is @code{#t} then services which only offer encryption algorithms
- known to be weak will be accepted.
- @item @code{default-realm} (default: @code{#f})
- This field should be a string identifying the default Kerberos
- realm for the client.
- You should set this field to the name of your Kerberos realm.
- If this value is @code{#f}
- then a realm must be specified with every Kerberos principal when invoking programs
- such as @command{kinit}.
- @item @code{realms}
- This should be a non-empty list of @code{krb5-realm} objects, which clients may

- @defvr {Scheme Variable} pam-krb5-service-type
- A service type for the Kerberos 5 PAM module.
- @end defvr

- Defaults to @samp{disabled}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{nslcd-configuration} parameter} maybe-string pam-authc-search
- By default nslcd performs an LDAP search with the user's credentials
- after BIND (authentication) to ensure that the BIND operation was
- successful. The default search is a simple check to see if the user's
- DN exists. A search filter can be specified that will be used instead.
- It should return at least one entry.
- Defaults to @samp{disabled}.
- @end deftypevr
- @deftypevr {@code{nslcd-configuration} parameter} maybe-string pam-authz-search
- This option allows flexible fine tuning of the authorisation check that
- should be performed. The search filter specified is executed and if any
- entries match, access is granted, otherwise access is denied.

- (try-files (list "$uri" "$uri/index.html")))))
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- At startup, @command{nginx} has not yet read its configuration file, so
- it uses a default file to log error messages. If it fails to load its
- configuration file, that is where error messages are logged. After the
- configuration file is loaded, the default error log file changes as per
- configuration. In our case, startup error messages can be found in
- @file{/var/run/nginx/logs/error.log}, and after configuration in
- @file{/var/log/nginx/error.log}. The second location can be changed
- with the @var{log-directory} configuration option.
- @deffn {Data Type} nginx-configuration

- A list of @dfn{server blocks} to create in the generated configuration
- file, the elements should be of type
- @code{<nginx-server-configuration>}.
- The following example would setup NGinx to serve @code{www.example.com}
- from the @code{/srv/http/www.example.com} directory, without using
- HTTPS.
- @lisp
- (service nginx-service-type
- (nginx-configuration

- @item @code{upstream-blocks} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of @dfn{upstream blocks} to create in the generated configuration
- file, the elements should be of type
- @code{<nginx-upstream-configuration>}.
- Configuring upstreams through the @code{upstream-blocks} can be useful
- when combined with @code{locations} in the
- @code{<nginx-server-configuration>} records. The following example
- creates a server configuration with one location configuration, that
- will proxy requests to a upstream configuration, which will handle
- requests with two servers.
- @lisp
- (service

- If a configuration @var{file} is provided, this will be used, rather than
- generating a configuration file from the provided @code{log-directory},
- @code{run-directory}, @code{server-blocks} and @code{upstream-blocks}. For
- proper operation, these arguments should match what is in @var{file} to ensure
- that the directories are created when the service is activated.
- This can be useful if you have an existing configuration file, or it's
- not possible to do what is required through the other parts of the
- nginx-configuration record.
- @item @code{server-names-hash-bucket-size} (default: @code{#f})
- Bucket size for the server names hash tables, defaults to @code{#f} to

- @subsubheading FastCGI
- @cindex fastcgi
- @cindex fcgiwrap
- FastCGI is an interface between the front-end and the back-end of a web
- service. It is a somewhat legacy facility; new web services should
- generally just talk HTTP between the front-end and the back-end.
- However there are a number of back-end services such as PHP or the
- optimized HTTP Git repository access that use FastCGI, so we have
- support for it in Guix.
- To use FastCGI, you configure the front-end web server (e.g., nginx) to
- dispatch some subset of its requests to the fastcgi backend, which
- listens on a local TCP or UNIX socket. There is an intermediary
- @code{fcgiwrap} program that sits between the actual backend process and
- the web server. The front-end indicates which backend program to run,
- passing that information to the @code{fcgiwrap} process.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} fcgiwrap-service-type
- A service type for the @code{fcgiwrap} FastCGI proxy.
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} fcgiwrap-configuration

- @item @code{socket} (default: @code{tcp:127.0.0.1:9000})
- The socket on which the @code{fcgiwrap} process should listen, as a
- string. Valid @var{socket} values include
- @code{unix:@var{/path/to/unix/socket}},
- @code{tcp:@var{dot.ted.qu.ad}:@var{port}} and
- @code{tcp6:[@var{ipv6_addr}]:port}.
- @item @code{user} (default: @code{fcgiwrap})
- @itemx @code{group} (default: @code{fcgiwrap})
- The user and group names, as strings, under which to run the
- @code{fcgiwrap} process. The @code{fastcgi} service will ensure that if
- the user asks for the specific user or group names @code{fcgiwrap} that
- the corresponding user and/or group is present on the system.
- It is possible to configure a FastCGI-backed web service to pass HTTP
- authentication information from the front-end to the back-end, and to
- allow @code{fcgiwrap} to run the back-end process as a corresponding
- local user. To enable this capability on the back-end, run
- @code{fcgiwrap} as the @code{root} user and group. Note that this
- capability also has to be configured on the front-end as well.

- @node Certificate Services
- @subsection Certificate Services
- @cindex Web
- @cindex HTTP, HTTPS
- @cindex Let's Encrypt
- @cindex TLS certificates
- The @code{(gnu services certbot)} module provides a service to
- automatically obtain a valid TLS certificate from the Let's Encrypt
- certificate authority. These certificates can then be used to serve
- content securely over HTTPS or other TLS-based protocols, with the
- knowledge that the client will be able to verify the server's
- authenticity.
- @url{https://letsencrypt.org/, Let's Encrypt} provides the
- @code{certbot} tool to automate the certification process. This tool
- first securely generates a key on the server. It then makes a request
- to the Let's Encrypt certificate authority (CA) to sign the key. The CA
- checks that the request originates from the host in question by using a
- challenge-response protocol, requiring the server to provide its
- response over HTTP@. If that protocol completes successfully, the CA
- signs the key, resulting in a certificate. That certificate is valid
- for a limited period of time, and therefore to continue to provide TLS
- services, the server needs to periodically ask the CA to renew its
- signature.
- The certbot service automates this process: the initial key
- generation, the initial certification request to the Let's Encrypt
- service, the web server challenge/response integration, writing the
- certificate to disk, the automated periodic renewals, and the deployment
- tasks associated with the renewal (e.g.@: reloading services, copying keys
- with different permissions).
- Certbot is run twice a day, at a random minute within the hour. It
- won't do anything until your certificates are due for renewal or
- revoked, but running it regularly would give your service a chance of
- staying online in case a Let's Encrypt-initiated revocation happened for
- some reason.
- By using this service, you agree to the ACME Subscriber Agreement, which
- can be found there:
- @url{https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory}.

- @end lisp
- @deffn {Scheme Variable} knot-service-type
- This is the type for the Knot DNS server.
- Knot DNS is an authoritative DNS server, meaning that it can serve multiple
- zones, that is to say domain names you would buy from a registrar. This server
- is not a resolver, meaning that it can only resolve names for which it is
- authoritative. This server can be configured to serve zones as a master server
- or a slave server as a per-zone basis. Slave zones will get their data from
- masters, and will serve it as an authoritative server. From the point of view
- of a resolver, there is no difference between master and slave.
- The following data types are used to configure the Knot DNS server:
- @end deffn
- @deftp {Data Type} knot-key-configuration
- Data type representing a key.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{""})
- An identifier for other configuration fields to refer to this key. IDs must
- be unique and must not be empty.
- @item @code{algorithm} (default: @code{#f})
- The algorithm to use. Choose between @code{#f}, @code{'hmac-md5},
- @code{'hmac-sha1}, @code{'hmac-sha224}, @code{'hmac-sha256}, @code{'hmac-sha384}
- and @code{'hmac-sha512}.
- @item @code{secret} (default: @code{""})
- The secret key itself.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} knot-acl-configuration
- Data type representing an Access Control List (ACL) configuration.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{""})
- An identifier for other configuration fields to refer to this key. IDs must be
- unique and must not be empty.
- @item @code{address} (default: @code{'()})
- An ordered list of IP addresses, network subnets, or network ranges represented
- with strings. The query must match one of them. Empty value means that
- address match is not required.
- @item @code{key} (default: @code{'()})
- An ordered list of references to keys represented with strings. The string
- must match a key ID defined in a @code{knot-key-configuration}. No key means
- that a key is not require to match that ACL.
- @item @code{action} (default: @code{'()})
- An ordered list of actions that are permitted or forbidden by this ACL@. Possible
- values are lists of zero or more elements from @code{'transfer}, @code{'notify}
- and @code{'update}.
- @item @code{deny?} (default: @code{#f})
- When true, the ACL defines restrictions. Listed actions are forbidden. When
- false, listed actions are allowed.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} zone-entry
- Data type representing a record entry in a zone file.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name} (default: @code{"@@"})
- The name of the record. @code{"@@"} refers to the origin of the zone. Names
- are relative to the origin of the zone. For example, in the @code{example.org}
- zone, @code{"ns.example.org"} actually refers to @code{ns.example.org.example.org}.
- Names ending with a dot are absolute, which means that @code{"ns.example.org."}
- refers to @code{ns.example.org}.
- @item @code{ttl} (default: @code{""})
- The Time-To-Live (TTL) of this record. If not set, the default TTL is used.
- @item @code{class} (default: @code{"IN"})
- The class of the record. Knot currently supports only @code{"IN"} and
- partially @code{"CH"}.
- @item @code{type} (default: @code{"A"})
- The type of the record. Common types include A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6
- address), NS (Name Server) and MX (Mail eXchange). Many other types are
- defined.
- @item @code{data} (default: @code{""})
- The data contained in the record. For instance an IP address associated with
- an A record, or a domain name associated with an NS record. Remember that
- domain names are relative to the origin unless they end with a dot.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} zone-file
- Data type representing the content of a zone file.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{entries} (default: @code{'()})
- The list of entries. The SOA record is taken care of, so you don't need to
- put it in the list of entries. This list should probably contain an entry
- for your primary authoritative DNS server. Other than using a list of entries
- directly, you can use @code{define-zone-entries} to define a object containing
- the list of entries more easily, that you can later pass to the @code{entries}
- field of the @code{zone-file}.
- @item @code{origin} (default: @code{""})
- The name of your zone. This parameter cannot be empty.
- @item @code{ns} (default: @code{"ns"})
- The domain of your primary authoritative DNS server. The name is relative to
- the origin, unless it ends with a dot. It is mandatory that this primary
- DNS server corresponds to an NS record in the zone and that it is associated
- to an IP address in the list of entries.
- @item @code{mail} (default: @code{"hostmaster"})
- An email address people can contact you at, as the owner of the zone. This
- is translated as @code{<mail>@@<origin>}.
- @item @code{serial} (default: @code{1})
- The serial number of the zone. As this is used to keep track of changes by
- both slaves and resolvers, it is mandatory that it @emph{never} decreases.
- Always increment it when you make a change in your zone.
- @item @code{refresh} (default: @code{(* 2 24 3600)})
- The frequency at which slaves will do a zone transfer. This value is a number
- of seconds. It can be computed by multiplications or with
- @code{(string->duration)}.
- @item @code{retry} (default: @code{(* 15 60)})
- The period after which a slave will retry to contact its master when it fails
- to do so a first time.
- @item @code{expiry} (default: @code{(* 14 24 3600)})
- Default TTL of records. Existing records are considered correct for at most
- this amount of time. After this period, resolvers will invalidate their cache
- and check again that it still exists.
- @item @code{nx} (default: @code{3600})
- Default TTL of inexistant records. This delay is usually short because you want
- your new domains to reach everyone quickly.
- @end table
- @end deftp

- Data type representing a remote configuration.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis

- An optional port can be given with the @@ separator. For instance:
- @code{(list "1.2.3.4" "2.3.4.5@@53")}. Default port is 53.
- @item @code{via} (default: @code{'()})
- An ordered list of source IP addresses. An empty list will have Knot choose
- an appropriate source IP@. An optional port can be given with the @@ separator.
- The default is to choose at random.
- @item @code{key} (default: @code{#f})
- A reference to a key, that is a string containing the identifier of a key
- defined in a @code{knot-key-configuration} field.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} knot-keystore-configuration
- Data type representing a keystore to hold dnssec keys.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{""})
- The id of the keystore. It must not be empty.
- @item @code{backend} (default: @code{'pem})
- The backend to store the keys in. Can be @code{'pem} or @code{'pkcs11}.
- @item @code{config} (default: @code{"/var/lib/knot/keys/keys"})
- The configuration string of the backend. An example for the PKCS#11 is:
- @code{"pkcs11:token=knot;pin-value=1234 /gnu/store/.../lib/pkcs11/libsofthsm2.so"}.
- For the pem backend, the string represents a path in the file system.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} knot-policy-configuration
- Data type representing a dnssec policy. Knot DNS is able to automatically
- sign your zones. It can either generate and manage your keys automatically or
- use keys that you generate.
- Dnssec is usually implemented using two keys: a Key Signing Key (KSK) that is
- used to sign the second, and a Zone Signing Key (ZSK) that is used to sign the
- zone. In order to be trusted, the KSK needs to be present in the parent zone
- (usually a top-level domain). If your registrar supports dnssec, you will
- have to send them your KSK's hash so they can add a DS record in their zone.
- This is not automated and need to be done each time you change your KSK.
- The policy also defines the lifetime of keys. Usually, ZSK can be changed
- easily and use weaker cryptographic functions (they use lower parameters) in
- order to sign records quickly, so they are changed often. The KSK however
- requires manual interaction with the registrar, so they are changed less often
- and use stronger parameters because they sign only one record.
- This type has the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{""})
- The id of the policy. It must not be empty.
- @item @code{keystore} (default: @code{"default"})
- A reference to a keystore, that is a string containing the identifier of a
- keystore defined in a @code{knot-keystore-configuration} field. The
- @code{"default"} identifier means the default keystore (a kasp database that
- was setup by this service).
- @item @code{manual?} (default: @code{#f})
- Whether the key management is manual or automatic.
- @item @code{single-type-signing?} (default: @code{#f})
- When @code{#t}, use the Single-Type Signing Scheme.
- @item @code{algorithm} (default: @code{"ecdsap256sha256"})
- An algorithm of signing keys and issued signatures.
- @item @code{ksk-size} (default: @code{256})
- The length of the KSK@. Note that this value is correct for the default
- algorithm, but would be unsecure for other algorithms.
- @item @code{zsk-size} (default: @code{256})
- The length of the ZSK@. Note that this value is correct for the default
- algorithm, but would be unsecure for other algorithms.
- @item @code{dnskey-ttl} (default: @code{'default})
- The TTL value for DNSKEY records added into zone apex. The special
- @code{'default} value means same as the zone SOA TTL.
- @item @code{zsk-lifetime} (default: @code{(* 30 24 3600)})
- The period between ZSK publication and the next rollover initiation.
- @item @code{propagation-delay} (default: @code{(* 24 3600)})
- An extra delay added for each key rollover step. This value should be high
- enough to cover propagation of data from the master server to all slaves.
- @item @code{rrsig-lifetime} (default: @code{(* 14 24 3600)})
- A validity period of newly issued signatures.
- @item @code{rrsig-refresh} (default: @code{(* 7 24 3600)})
- A period how long before a signature expiration the signature will be refreshed.
- @item @code{nsec3?} (default: @code{#f})
- When @code{#t}, NSEC3 will be used instead of NSEC.
- @item @code{nsec3-iterations} (default: @code{5})
- The number of additional times the hashing is performed.
- @item @code{nsec3-salt-length} (default: @code{8})
- The length of a salt field in octets, which is appended to the original owner
- name before hashing.
- @item @code{nsec3-salt-lifetime} (default: @code{(* 30 24 3600)})
- The validity period of newly issued salt field.

- The main master. When empty, it defaults to the first master in the list of
- masters.
- @item @code{notify} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of slave remote identifiers.
- @item @code{acl} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of acl identifiers.
- @item @code{semantic-checks?} (default: @code{#f})
- When set, this adds more semantic checks to the zone.
- @item @code{disable-any?} (default: @code{#f})
- When set, this forbids queries of the ANY type.
- @item @code{zonefile-sync} (default: @code{0})
- The delay between a modification in memory and on disk. 0 means immediate
- synchronization.
- @item @code{zonefile-load} (default: @code{#f})
- The way the zone file contents are applied during zone load. Possible values
- are:
- @itemize
- @item @code{#f} for using the default value from Knot,
- @item @code{'none} for not using the zone file at all,
- @item @code{'difference} for computing the difference between already available
- contents and zone contents and applying it to the current zone contents,
- @item @code{'difference-no-serial} for the same as @code{'difference}, but
- ignoring the SOA serial in the zone file, while the server takes care of it
- automatically.
- @item @code{'whole} for loading zone contents from the zone file.
- @end itemize
- @item @code{journal-content} (default: @code{#f})
- The way the journal is used to store zone and its changes. Possible values
- are @code{'none} to not use it at all, @code{'changes} to store changes and

- default value from Knot is used.
- @item @code{max-zone-size} (default: @code{#f})
- The maximum size of the zone file. This limit is enforced for incoming
- transfer and updates. @code{#f} does not set this option, so the default
- value from Knot is used.

- @item @code{includes} (default: @code{'()})
- A list of strings or file-like objects denoting other files that must be
- included at the top of the configuration file.
- @cindex secrets, Knot service
- This can be used to manage secrets out-of-band. For example, secret
- keys may be stored in an out-of-band file not managed by Guix, and
- thus not visible in @file{/gnu/store}---e.g., you could store secret
- key configuration in @file{/etc/knot/secrets.conf} and add this file
- to the @code{includes} list.
- One can generate a secret tsig key (for nsupdate and zone transfers with the
- keymgr command from the knot package. Note that the package is not automatically
- installed by the service. The following example shows how to generate a new
- tsig key:
- @example
- keymgr -t mysecret > /etc/knot/secrets.conf
- chmod 600 /etc/knot/secrets.conf
- @end example
- Also note that the generated key will be named @var{mysecret}, so it is the
- name that needs to be used in the @var{key} field of the
- @code{knot-acl-configuration} record and in other places that need to refer
- to that key.
- It can also be used to add configuration not supported by this interface.
- @item @code{listen-v4} (default: @code{"0.0.0.0"})

- When true, don't read @var{resolv-file}.
- @item @code{servers} (default: @code{'()})
- Specify IP address of upstream servers directly.
- @item @code{addresses} (default: @code{'()})
- For each entry, specify an IP address to return for any host in the
- given domains. Queries in the domains are never forwarded and always
- replied to with the specified IP address.
- This is useful for redirecting hosts locally, for example:
- @lisp
- (service dnsmasq-service-type
- (dnsmasq-configuration
- (addresses
- '(; Redirect to a local web-server.
- "/example.org/127.0.0.1"
- ; Redirect subdomain to a specific IP.
- "/subdomain.example.org/192.168.1.42"))))
- @end lisp
- Note that rules in @file{/etc/hosts} take precedence over this.

- @item @code{tftp-secure?} (default: @code{#f})
- If true, only files owned by the user running the dnsmasq process are accessible.
- If dnsmasq is being run as root, different rules apply:
- @code{tftp-secure?} has no effect, but only files which have the
- world-readable bit set are accessible.
- @item @code{tftp-max} (default: @code{#f})
- If set, sets the maximal number of concurrent connections allowed.
- @item @code{tftp-mtu} (default: @code{#f})
- If set, sets the MTU for TFTP packets to that value.
- @item @code{tftp-no-blocksize?} (default: @code{#f})
- If true, stops the TFTP server from negotiating the blocksize with a client.
- @item @code{tftp-lowercase?} (default: @code{#f})
- Whether to convert all filenames in TFTP requests to lowercase.
- @item @code{tftp-port-range} (default: @code{#f})
- If set, fixes the dynamical ports (one per client) to the given range
- (@code{"<start>,<end>"}).
- @item @code{tftp-root} (default: @code{/var/empty,lo})
- Look for files to transfer using TFTP relative to the given directory.
- When this is set, TFTP paths which include @samp{..} are rejected, to stop clients
- getting outside the specified root. Absolute paths (starting with @samp{/}) are
- allowed, but they must be within the TFTP-root. If the optional interface
- argument is given, the directory is only used for TFTP requests via that
- interface.
- @item @code{tftp-unique-root} (default: @code{#f})
- If set, add the IP or hardware address of the TFTP client as a path component
- on the end of the TFTP-root. Only valid if a TFTP root is set and the
- directory exists. Defaults to adding IP address (in standard dotted-quad
- format).
- For instance, if @option{--tftp-root} is @samp{/tftp} and client
- @samp{1.2.3.4} requests file @file{myfile} then the effective path will
- be @file{/tftp/1.2.3.4/myfile} if @file{/tftp/1.2.3.4} exists or
- @file{/tftp/myfile} otherwise. When @samp{=mac} is specified it will
- append the MAC address instead, using lowercase zero padded digits
- separated by dashes, e.g.: @samp{01-02-03-04-aa-bb}. Note that
- resolving MAC addresses is only possible if the client is in the local
- network or obtained a DHCP lease from dnsmasq.

- @subsubheading Transparent Emulation with QEMU
- @cindex emulation
- @cindex @code{binfmt_misc}
- @code{qemu-binfmt-service-type} provides support for transparent
- emulation of program binaries built for different architectures---e.g.,
- it allows you to transparently execute an ARMv7 program on an x86_64
- machine. It achieves this by combining the @uref{https://www.qemu.org,
- QEMU} emulator and the @code{binfmt_misc} feature of the kernel Linux.
- This feature only allows you to emulate GNU/Linux on a different
- architecture, but see below for GNU/Hurd support.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} qemu-binfmt-service-type
- This is the type of the QEMU/binfmt service for transparent emulation.
- Its value must be a @code{qemu-binfmt-configuration} object, which
- specifies the QEMU package to use as well as the architecture we want to
- emulated:
- @lisp
- (service qemu-binfmt-service-type
- (qemu-binfmt-configuration
- (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64"))))
- @end lisp
- In this example, we enable transparent emulation for the ARM and aarch64
- platforms. Running @code{herd stop qemu-binfmt} turns it off, and
- running @code{herd start qemu-binfmt} turns it back on (@pxref{Invoking
- herd, the @command{herd} command,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}).
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} qemu-binfmt-configuration
- This is the configuration for the @code{qemu-binfmt} service.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{platforms} (default: @code{'()})
- The list of emulated QEMU platforms. Each item must be a @dfn{platform
- object} as returned by @code{lookup-qemu-platforms} (see below).
- @item @code{guix-support?} (default: @code{#t})
- When it is true, QEMU and all its dependencies are added to the build
- environment of @command{guix-daemon} (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
- @option{--chroot-directory} option}). This allows the @code{binfmt_misc}
- handlers to be used within the build environment, which in turn means
- that you can transparently build programs for another architecture.
- For example, let's suppose you're on an x86_64 machine and you have this
- service:
- @lisp
- (service qemu-binfmt-service-type
- (qemu-binfmt-configuration
- (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm"))
- (guix-support? #t)))
- @end lisp
- You can run:
- @example
- guix build -s armhf-linux inkscape
- @end example
- @noindent
- and it will build Inkscape for ARMv7 @emph{as if it were a native
- build}, transparently using QEMU to emulate the ARMv7 CPU@. Pretty handy
- if you'd like to test a package build for an architecture you don't have
- access to!
- When @code{guix-support?} is set to @code{#f}, programs for other
- architectures can still be executed transparently, but invoking commands
- like @command{guix build -s armhf-linux @dots{}} will fail.
- @item @code{qemu} (default: @code{qemu})
- The QEMU package to use.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} lookup-qemu-platforms @var{platforms}@dots{}
- Return the list of QEMU platform objects corresponding to
- @var{platforms}@dots{}. @var{platforms} must be a list of strings
- corresponding to platform names, such as @code{"arm"}, @code{"sparc"},
- @code{"mips64el"}, and so on.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} qemu-platform? @var{obj}
- Return true if @var{obj} is a platform object.

- @subsubheading The Hurd in a Virtual Machine
- @cindex @code{hurd}
- @cindex the Hurd
- @cindex childhurd
- Service @code{hurd-vm} provides support for running GNU/Hurd in a
- virtual machine (VM), a so-called @dfn{childhurd}. This service is meant
- to be used on GNU/Linux and the given GNU/Hurd operating system
- configuration is cross-compiled. The virtual machine is a Shepherd
- service that can be referred to by the names @code{hurd-vm} and
- @code{childhurd} and be controlled with commands such as:
- @example
- herd start hurd-vm
- herd stop childhurd
- @end example
- When the service is running, you can view its console by connecting to
- it with a VNC client, for example with:
- @example
- guix environment --ad-hoc tigervnc-client -- \
- vncviewer localhost:5900
- @end example
- The default configuration (see @code{hurd-vm-configuration} below)
- spawns a secure shell (SSH) server in your GNU/Hurd system, which QEMU
- (the virtual machine emulator) redirects to port 10222 on the host.
- Thus, you can connect over SSH to the childhurd with:
- @example
- ssh root@@localhost -p 10022
- @end example
- The childhurd is volatile and stateless: it starts with a fresh root
- file system every time you restart it. By default though, all the files
- under @file{/etc/childhurd} on the host are copied as is to the root
- file system of the childhurd when it boots. This allows you to
- initialize ``secrets'' inside the VM: SSH host keys, authorized
- substitute keys, and so on---see the explanation of @code{secret-root}
- below.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} hurd-vm-service-type
- This is the type of the Hurd in a Virtual Machine service. Its value
- must be a @code{hurd-vm-configuration} object, which specifies the
- operating system (@pxref{operating-system Reference}) and the disk size
- for the Hurd Virtual Machine, the QEMU package to use as well as the
- options for running it.
- For example:
- @lisp
- (service hurd-vm-service-type
- (hurd-vm-configuration
- (disk-size (* 5000 (expt 2 20))) ;5G
- (memory-size 1024))) ;1024MiB
- @end lisp
- would create a disk image big enough to build GNU@tie{}Hello, with some

- The data type representing the configuration for

- The operating system to instantiate. This default is bare-bones with a
- permissive OpenSSH secure shell daemon listening on port 2222
- (@pxref{Networking Services, @code{openssh-service-type}}).
- @item @code{qemu} (default: @code{qemu-minimal})
- The QEMU package to use.
- @item @code{image} (default: @var{hurd-vm-disk-image})
- The procedure used to build the disk-image built from this
- configuration.
- @item @code{disk-size} (default: @code{'guess})
- The size of the disk image.
- @item @code{memory-size} (default: @code{512})
- The memory size of the Virtual Machine in mebibytes.
- @item @code{options} (default: @code{'("--snapshot")})
- The extra options for running QEMU.
- @item @code{id} (default: @code{#f})
- If set, a non-zero positive integer used to parameterize Childhurd
- instances. It is appended to the service's name,
- e.g. @code{childhurd1}.
- @item @code{net-options} (default: @var{hurd-vm-net-options})
- The procedure used to produce the list of QEMU networking options.
- By default, it produces
- @lisp
- '("--device" "rtl8139,netdev=net0"
- "--netdev" "user,id=net0\
- ,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:@var{secrets-port}-:1004\

- ,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:@var{vnc-port}-:5900")
- @end lisp
- with forwarded ports:
- @example
- @var{secrets-port}: @code{(+ 11004 (* 1000 @var{ID}))}
- @var{ssh-port}: @code{(+ 10022 (* 1000 @var{ID}))}
- @var{vnc-port}: @code{(+ 15900 (* 1000 @var{ID}))}
- @end example
- @item @code{secret-root} (default: @file{/etc/childhurd})
- The root directory with out-of-band secrets to be installed into the
- childhurd once it runs. Childhurds are volatile which means that on
- every startup, secrets such as the SSH host keys and Guix signing key
- are recreated.
- If the @file{/etc/childhurd} directory does not exist, the
- @code{secret-service} running in the Childhurd will be sent an empty
- list of secrets.
- By default, the service automatically populates @file{/etc/childhurd}
- with the following non-volatile secrets, unless they already exist:
- @example
- /etc/childhurd/etc/guix/acl
- /etc/childhurd/etc/guix/signing-key.pub
- /etc/childhurd/etc/guix/signing-key.sec
- /etc/childhurd/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
- /etc/childhurd/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
- /etc/childhurd/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
- /etc/childhurd/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
- @end example
- These files are automatically sent to the guest Hurd VM when it boots,
- including permissions.
- @cindex childhurd, offloading
- @cindex Hurd, offloading
- Having these files in place means that only a couple of things are
- missing to allow the host to offload @code{i586-gnu} builds to the
- childhurd:
- @enumerate
- @item
- Authorizing the childhurd's key on the host so that the host accepts
- build results coming from the childhurd, which can be done like so:
- @example
- guix archive --authorize < \
- /etc/childhurd/etc/guix/signing-key.pub
- @end example
- @item
- Adding the childhurd to @file{/etc/guix/machines.scm} (@pxref{Daemon
- Offload Setup}).
- @end enumerate
- We're working towards making that happen automatically---get in touch
- with us at @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org} to discuss it!
- @end table
- @end deftp
- Note that by default the VM image is volatile, i.e., once stopped the
- contents are lost. If you want a stateful image instead, override the
- configuration's @code{image} and @code{options} without
- the @code{--snapshot} flag using something along these lines:

- @itemx @code{cleaner-configuration} (default: @code{(ganeti-cleaner-configuration)})
- These options control the various daemons and cron jobs that are distributed
- with Ganeti. The possible values for these are described in detail below.
- To override a setting, you must use the configuration type for that service:
- @lisp
- (service ganeti-service-type
- (ganeti-configuration
- (rapi-configuration
- (ganeti-rapi-configuration
- (interface "eth1"))))
- (watcher-configuration
- (ganeti-watcher-configuration
- (rapi-ip "10.0.0.1"))))
- @end lisp
- @item @code{file-storage-paths} (default: @code{'()})
- List of allowed directories for file storage backend.
- @item @code{os} (default: @code{%default-ganeti-os})
- List of @code{<ganeti-os>} records.
- @end table
- In essence @code{ganeti-service-type} is shorthand for declaring each service
- individually:
- @lisp
- (service ganeti-noded-service-type)
- (service ganeti-confd-service-type)
- (service ganeti-wconfd-service-type)
- (service ganeti-luxid-service-type)

- Plus a service extension for @code{etc-service-type} that configures the file
- storage backend and OS variants.
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} ganeti-os
- This data type is suitable for passing to the @code{os} parameter of
- @code{ganeti-configuration}. It takes the following parameters:
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- The name for this OS provider. It is only used to specify where the
- configuration ends up. Setting it to ``debootstrap'' will create
- @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-debootstrap}.
- @item @code{extension}
- The file extension for variants of this OS type. For example
- @file{.conf} or @file{.scm}.
- @item @code{variants} (default: @code{'()})

- This data type creates configuration files suitable for the debootstrap OS provider.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{hooks} (default: @code{%default-debootstrap-hooks})
- When not @code{#f}, this must be a G-expression that specifies a directory with
- scripts that will run when the OS is installed. It can also be a list of
- @code{(name . file-like)} pairs. For example:
- @lisp
- `((99-hello-world . ,(plain-file "#!/bin/sh\necho Hello, World")))
- @end lisp
- That will create a directory with one executable named @code{99-hello-world}
- and run it every time this variant is installed. If set to @code{#f}, hooks
- in @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-debootstrap/hooks} will be used, if any.
- @item @code{proxy} (default: @code{#f})
- Optional HTTP proxy to use.
- @item @code{mirror} (default: @code{#f})

- The dpkg architecture. Set to @code{armhf} to debootstrap an ARMv7 instance
- on an AArch64 host. Default is to use the current system architecture.
- @item @code{suite} (default: @code{"stable"})
- When set, this must be a Debian distribution ``suite'' such as @code{buster}
- or @code{focal}. If set to @code{#f}, the default for the OS provider is used.
- @item @code{extra-pkgs} (default: @code{%default-debootstrap-extra-pkgs})
- List of extra packages that will get installed by dpkg in addition
- to the minimal system.
- @item @code{components} (default: @code{#f})
- When set, must be a list of Debian repository ``components''. For example
- @code{'("main" "contrib")}.
- @item @code{generate-cache?} (default: @code{#t})
- Whether to automatically cache the generated debootstrap archive.
- @item @code{clean-cache} (default: @code{14})
- Discard the cache after this amount of days. Use @code{#f} to never
- clear the cache.
- @item @code{partition-style} (default: @code{'msdos})
- The type of partition to create. When set, it must be one of
- @code{'msdos}, @code{'none} or a string.

- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} guix-os @var{variants}@dots{}

- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-debootstrap-variants
- This is a convenience variable to make the debootstrap provider work
- ``out of the box'' without users having to declare variants manually. It
- contains a single debootstrap variant with the default configuration:
- @lisp
- (list (debootstrap-variant
- "default"
- (debootstrap-configuration)))
- @end lisp
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-guix-variants
- This is a convenience variable to make the Guix OS provider work without
- additional configuration. It creates a virtual machine that has an SSH
- server, a serial console, and authorizes the Ganeti hosts SSH keys.
- @lisp
- (list (guix-variant
- "default"
- (file-append ganeti-instance-guix
- "/share/doc/ganeti-instance-guix/examples/dynamic.scm")))
- @end lisp
- @end defvr
- Users can implement support for OS providers unbeknownst to Guix by extending
- the @code{ganeti-os} and @code{ganeti-os-variant} records appropriately.
- For example:
- @lisp
- (ganeti-os
- (name "custom")
- (extension ".conf")
- (variants
- (list (ganeti-os-variant
- (name "foo")
- (configuration (plain-file "bar" "this is fine"))))))
- @end lisp
- That creates @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-custom/variants/foo.conf} which points
- to a file in the store with contents @code{this is fine}. It also creates
- @file{/etc/ganeti/instance-custom/variants/variants.list} with contents @code{foo}.
- Obviously this may not work for all OS providers out there. If you find the
- interface limiting, please reach out to @email{guix-devel@@gnu.org}.

- the @code{git-daemon-service}, which provides access to repositories via
- the @code{git://} unsecured TCP-based protocol, extending the
- @code{nginx} web server to proxy some requests to
- @code{git-http-backend}, or providing a web interface with
- @code{cgit-service-type}.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} git-daemon-service [#:config (git-daemon-configuration)]
- Return a service that runs @command{git daemon}, a simple TCP server to
- expose repositories over the Git protocol for anonymous access.
- The optional @var{config} argument should be a
- @code{<git-daemon-configuration>} object, by default it allows read-only
- access to exported@footnote{By creating the magic file
- @file{git-daemon-export-ok} in the repository directory.} repositories under

- @item @code{user-path} (default: @code{#f})
- Whether to allow @code{~user} notation to be used in requests. When
- specified with empty string, requests to

- @node Setuid Programs
- @section Setuid Programs
- @cindex setuid programs
- Some programs need to run with ``root'' privileges, even when they are
- launched by unprivileged users. A notorious example is the
- @command{passwd} program, which users can run to change their
- password, and which needs to access the @file{/etc/passwd} and
- @file{/etc/shadow} files---something normally restricted to root, for
- obvious security reasons. To address that, these executables are
- @dfn{setuid-root}, meaning that they always run with root privileges
- (@pxref{How Change Persona,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual},
- for more info about the setuid mechanism).
- The store itself @emph{cannot} contain setuid programs: that would be a
- security issue since any user on the system can write derivations that
- populate the store (@pxref{The Store}). Thus, a different mechanism is
- used: instead of changing the setuid bit directly on files that are in
- the store, we let the system administrator @emph{declare} which programs
- should be setuid root.
- The @code{setuid-programs} field of an @code{operating-system}
- declaration contains a list of G-expressions denoting the names of
- programs to be setuid-root (@pxref{Using the Configuration System}).
- For instance, the @command{passwd} program, which is part of the Shadow
- package, can be designated by this G-expression (@pxref{G-Expressions}):
- @example
- #~(string-append #$shadow "/bin/passwd")
- @end example
- A default set of setuid programs is defined by the
- @code{%setuid-programs} variable of the @code{(gnu system)} module.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %setuid-programs
- A list of G-expressions denoting common programs that are setuid-root.
- The list includes commands such as @command{passwd}, @command{ping},
- @command{su}, and @command{sudo}.
- @end defvr
- Under the hood, the actual setuid programs are created in the
- @file{/run/setuid-programs} directory at system activation time. The
- files in this directory refer to the ``real'' binaries, which are in the
- store.
- @node X.509 Certificates
- @section X.509 Certificates
- @cindex HTTPS, certificates
- @cindex X.509 certificates
- @cindex TLS
- Web servers available over HTTPS (that is, HTTP over the transport-layer
- security mechanism, TLS) send client programs an @dfn{X.509 certificate}
- that the client can then use to @emph{authenticate} the server. To do
- that, clients verify that the server's certificate is signed by a
- so-called @dfn{certificate authority} (CA). But to verify the CA's
- signature, clients must have first acquired the CA's certificate.
- Web browsers such as GNU@tie{}IceCat include their own set of CA
- certificates, such that they are able to verify CA signatures
- out-of-the-box.
- However, most other programs that can talk HTTPS---@command{wget},
- @command{git}, @command{w3m}, etc.---need to be told where CA
- certificates can be found.
- @cindex @code{nss-certs}
- In Guix, this is done by adding a package that provides certificates
- to the @code{packages} field of the @code{operating-system} declaration
- (@pxref{operating-system Reference}). Guix includes one such package,
- @code{nss-certs}, which is a set of CA certificates provided as part of
- Mozilla's Network Security Services.
- Note that it is @emph{not} part of @code{%base-packages}, so you need to
- explicitly add it. The @file{/etc/ssl/certs} directory, which is where
- most applications and libraries look for certificates by default, points
- to the certificates installed globally.
- Unprivileged users, including users of Guix on a foreign distro,
- can also install their own certificate package in
- their profile. A number of environment variables need to be defined so
- that applications and libraries know where to find them. Namely, the
- OpenSSL library honors the @env{SSL_CERT_DIR} and @env{SSL_CERT_FILE}
- variables. Some applications add their own environment variables; for
- instance, the Git version control system honors the certificate bundle
- pointed to by the @env{GIT_SSL_CAINFO} environment variable. Thus, you
- would typically run something like:
- @example
- guix install nss-certs
- export SSL_CERT_DIR="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs"
- export SSL_CERT_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
- export GIT_SSL_CAINFO="$SSL_CERT_FILE"
- @end example
- As another example, R requires the @env{CURL_CA_BUNDLE} environment
- variable to point to a certificate bundle, so you would have to run
- something like this:
- @example
- guix install nss-certs
- export CURL_CA_BUNDLE="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
- @end example
- For other applications you may want to look up the required environment
- variable in the relevant documentation.
- @node Name Service Switch
- @section Name Service Switch
- @cindex name service switch
- @cindex NSS
- The @code{(gnu system nss)} module provides bindings to the
- configuration file of the libc @dfn{name service switch} or @dfn{NSS}
- (@pxref{NSS Configuration File,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
- Manual}). In a nutshell, the NSS is a mechanism that allows libc to be
- extended with new ``name'' lookup methods for system databases, which
- includes host names, service names, user accounts, and more (@pxref{Name
- Service Switch, System Databases and Name Service Switch,, libc, The GNU
- C Library Reference Manual}).
- The NSS configuration specifies, for each system database, which lookup
- method is to be used, and how the various methods are chained
- together---for instance, under which circumstances NSS should try the
- next method in the list. The NSS configuration is given in the
- @code{name-service-switch} field of @code{operating-system} declarations
- (@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{name-service-switch}}).
- @cindex nss-mdns
- @cindex .local, host name lookup
- As an example, the declaration below configures the NSS to use the
- @uref{https://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/, @code{nss-mdns}
- back-end}, which supports host name lookups over multicast DNS (mDNS)
- for host names ending in @code{.local}:
- @lisp
- (name-service-switch
- (hosts (list %files ;first, check /etc/hosts
- ;; If the above did not succeed, try
- ;; with 'mdns_minimal'.
- (name-service
- (name "mdns_minimal")
- ;; 'mdns_minimal' is authoritative for
- ;; '.local'. When it returns "not found",
- ;; no need to try the next methods.
- (reaction (lookup-specification
- (not-found => return))))
- ;; Then fall back to DNS.
- (name-service
- (name "dns"))
- ;; Finally, try with the "full" 'mdns'.
- (name-service
- (name "mdns")))))
- @end lisp
- Do not worry: the @code{%mdns-host-lookup-nss} variable (see below)
- contains this configuration, so you will not have to type it if all you
- want is to have @code{.local} host lookup working.
- Note that, in this case, in addition to setting the
- @code{name-service-switch} of the @code{operating-system} declaration,
- you also need to use @code{avahi-service-type} (@pxref{Networking Services,
- @code{avahi-service-type}}), or @code{%desktop-services}, which includes it
- (@pxref{Desktop Services}). Doing this makes @code{nss-mdns} accessible
- to the name service cache daemon (@pxref{Base Services,
- @code{nscd-service}}).
- For convenience, the following variables provide typical NSS
- configurations.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %default-nss
- This is the default name service switch configuration, a
- @code{name-service-switch} object.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %mdns-host-lookup-nss
- This is the name service switch configuration with support for host name
- lookup over multicast DNS (mDNS) for host names ending in @code{.local}.
- @end defvr
- The reference for name service switch configuration is given below. It
- is a direct mapping of the configuration file format of the C library , so
- please refer to the C library manual for more information (@pxref{NSS
- Configuration File,,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}).
- Compared to the configuration file format of libc NSS, it has the advantage
- not only of adding this warm parenthetic feel that we like, but also
- static checks: you will know about syntax errors and typos as soon as you
- run @command{guix system}.

- @node Initial RAM Disk
- @section Initial RAM Disk
- @cindex initrd
- @cindex initial RAM disk
- For bootstrapping purposes, the Linux-Libre kernel is passed an
- @dfn{initial RAM disk}, or @dfn{initrd}. An initrd contains a temporary
- root file system as well as an initialization script. The latter is
- responsible for mounting the real root file system, and for loading any
- kernel modules that may be needed to achieve that.
- The @code{initrd-modules} field of an @code{operating-system}
- declaration allows you to specify Linux-libre kernel modules that must
- be available in the initrd. In particular, this is where you would list
- modules needed to actually drive the hard disk where your root partition
- is---although the default value of @code{initrd-modules} should cover
- most use cases. For example, assuming you need the @code{megaraid_sas}
- module in addition to the default modules to be able to access your root
- file system, you would write:
- @lisp
- (operating-system
- ;; @dots{}
- (initrd-modules (cons "megaraid_sas" %base-initrd-modules)))
- @end lisp
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-initrd-modules
- This is the list of kernel modules included in the initrd by default.
- @end defvr
- Furthermore, if you need lower-level customization, the @code{initrd}
- field of an @code{operating-system} declaration allows
- you to specify which initrd you would like to use. The @code{(gnu
- system linux-initrd)} module provides three ways to build an initrd: the
- high-level @code{base-initrd} procedure and the low-level
- @code{raw-initrd} and @code{expression->initrd} procedures.
- The @code{base-initrd} procedure is intended to cover most common uses.
- For example, if you want to add a bunch of kernel modules to be loaded
- at boot time, you can define the @code{initrd} field of the operating
- system declaration like this:
- @lisp
- (initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest)
- ;; Create a standard initrd but set up networking
- ;; with the parameters QEMU expects by default.
- (apply base-initrd file-systems
- #:qemu-networking? #t
- rest)))
- @end lisp
- The @code{base-initrd} procedure also handles common use cases that
- involves using the system as a QEMU guest, or as a ``live'' system with
- volatile root file system.
- The @code{base-initrd} procedure is built from @code{raw-initrd} procedure.
- Unlike @code{base-initrd}, @code{raw-initrd} doesn't do anything high-level,
- such as trying to guess which kernel modules and packages should be included
- to the initrd. An example use of @code{raw-initrd} is when a user has
- a custom Linux kernel configuration and default kernel modules included by
- @code{base-initrd} are not available.
- The initial RAM disk produced by @code{base-initrd} or @code{raw-initrd}
- honors several options passed on the Linux kernel command line
- (that is, arguments passed @i{via} the @code{linux} command of GRUB, or the
- @code{-append} option of QEMU), notably:
- @table @code
- @item --load=@var{boot}
- Tell the initial RAM disk to load @var{boot}, a file containing a Scheme
- program, once it has mounted the root file system.
- Guix uses this option to yield control to a boot program that runs the
- service activation programs and then spawns the GNU@tie{}Shepherd, the
- initialization system.
- @item --root=@var{root}
- Mount @var{root} as the root file system. @var{root} can be a device
- name like @code{/dev/sda1}, a file system label, or a file system UUID.
- When unspecified, the device name from the root file system of the
- operating system declaration is used.
- @item --system=@var{system}
- Have @file{/run/booted-system} and @file{/run/current-system} point to
- @var{system}.
- @item modprobe.blacklist=@var{modules}@dots{}
- @cindex module, black-listing
- @cindex black list, of kernel modules
- Instruct the initial RAM disk as well as the @command{modprobe} command
- (from the kmod package) to refuse to load @var{modules}. @var{modules}
- must be a comma-separated list of module names---e.g.,
- @code{usbkbd,9pnet}.
- @item --repl
- Start a read-eval-print loop (REPL) from the initial RAM disk before it
- tries to load kernel modules and to mount the root file system. Our
- marketing team calls it @dfn{boot-to-Guile}. The Schemer in you will
- love it. @xref{Using Guile Interactively,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference
- Manual}, for more information on Guile's REPL.

- the root file system specified on the kernel command line via @option{--root}.
- @var{linux-modules} is a list of kernel modules to be loaded at boot time.

- @node Bootloader Configuration
- @section Bootloader Configuration
- @cindex bootloader
- @cindex boot loader
- The operating system supports multiple bootloaders. The bootloader is
- configured using @code{bootloader-configuration} declaration. All the
- fields of this structure are bootloader agnostic except for one field,
- @code{bootloader} that indicates the bootloader to be configured and
- installed.
- Some of the bootloaders do not honor every field of
- @code{bootloader-configuration}. For instance, the extlinux
- bootloader does not support themes and thus ignores the @code{theme}
- field.
- @deftp {Data Type} bootloader-configuration
- The type of a bootloader configuration declaration.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{bootloader}
- @cindex EFI, bootloader
- @cindex UEFI, bootloader
- @cindex BIOS, bootloader
- The bootloader to use, as a @code{bootloader} object. For now
- @code{grub-bootloader}, @code{grub-efi-bootloader},
- @code{grub-efi-netboot-bootloader}, @code{extlinux-bootloader} and
- @code{u-boot-bootloader} are supported.
- @cindex ARM, bootloaders
- @cindex AArch64, bootloaders
- Available bootloaders are described in @code{(gnu bootloader @dots{})}
- modules. In particular, @code{(gnu bootloader u-boot)} contains definitions
- of bootloaders for a wide range of ARM and AArch64 systems, using the
- @uref{https://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/, U-Boot bootloader}.
- @vindex grub-efi-bootloader
- @code{grub-efi-bootloader} allows to boot on modern systems using the
- @dfn{Unified Extensible Firmware Interface} (UEFI). This is what you should
- use if the installation image contains a @file{/sys/firmware/efi} directory
- when you boot it on your system.
- @vindex grub-bootloader
- @code{grub-bootloader} allows you to boot in particular Intel-based machines
- in ``legacy'' BIOS mode.
- @vindex grub-efi-netboot-bootloader
- @code{grub-efi-netboot-bootloader} allows you to boot your system over network
- through TFTP@. In combination with an NFS root file system this allows you to
- build a diskless Guix system.
- The installation of the @code{grub-efi-netboot-bootloader} generates the content
- of the TFTP root directory at @code{target}
- (@pxref{Bootloader Configuration, @code{target}}), to be served by a TFTP server.
- You may want to mount your TFTP server directory onto @code{target} to move the
- required files to the TFTP server automatically.
- If you plan to use an NFS root file system as well (actually if you mount the
- store from an NFS share), then the TFTP server needs to serve the file
- @file{/boot/grub/grub.cfg} and other files from the store (like GRUBs background
- image, the kernel (@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{kernel}}) and the
- initrd (@pxref{operating-system Reference, @code{initrd}})), too. All these
- files from the store will be accessed by GRUB through TFTP with their normal
- store path, for example as
- @file{tftp://tftp-server/gnu/store/…-initrd/initrd.cpio.gz}.
- Two symlinks are created to make this possible. The first symlink is
- @code{target}@file{/efi/Guix/boot/grub/grub.cfg} pointing to
- @file{../../../boot/grub/grub.cfg},
- where @code{target} may be @file{/boot}. In this case the link is not leaving
- the served TFTP root directory, but otherwise it does. The second link is
- @code{target}@file{/gnu/store} and points to @file{../gnu/store}. This link
- is leaving the served TFTP root directory.
- The assumption behind all this is that you have an NFS server exporting the root
- file system for your Guix system, and additionally a TFTP server exporting your
- @code{target} directory—usually @file{/boot}—from that same root file system for
- your Guix system. In this constellation the symlinks will work.
- For other constellations you will have to program your own bootloader installer,
- which then takes care to make necessary files from the store accessible through
- TFTP, for example by copying them into the TFTP root directory at @code{target}.
- It is important to note that symlinks pointing outside the TFTP root directory
- may need to be allowed in the configuration of your TFTP server. Further the
- store link exposes the whole store through TFTP@. Both points need to be
- considered carefully for security aspects.
- Beside the @code{grub-efi-netboot-bootloader}, the already mentioned TFTP and
- NFS servers, you also need a properly configured DHCP server to make the booting
- over netboot possible. For all this we can currently only recommend you to look
- for instructions about @acronym{PXE, Preboot eXecution Environment}.
- @item @code{target}
- This is a string denoting the target onto which to install the
- bootloader.
- The interpretation depends on the bootloader in question. For
- @code{grub-bootloader}, for example, it should be a device name understood by
- the bootloader @command{installer} command, such as @code{/dev/sda} or
- @code{(hd0)} (@pxref{Invoking grub-install,,, grub, GNU GRUB Manual}). For
- @code{grub-efi-bootloader}, it should be the mount point of the EFI file
- system, usually @file{/boot/efi}. For @code{grub-efi-netboot-bootloader},
- @code{target} should be the mount point corresponding to the TFTP root
- directory of your TFTP server.
- @item @code{menu-entries} (default: @code{()})
- A possibly empty list of @code{menu-entry} objects (see below), denoting
- entries to appear in the bootloader menu, in addition to the current
- system entry and the entry pointing to previous system generations.
- @item @code{default-entry} (default: @code{0})
- The index of the default boot menu entry. Index 0 is for the entry of the
- current system.
- @item @code{timeout} (default: @code{5})
- The number of seconds to wait for keyboard input before booting. Set to
- 0 to boot immediately, and to -1 to wait indefinitely.
- @cindex keyboard layout, for the bootloader
- @item @code{keyboard-layout} (default: @code{#f})
- If this is @code{#f}, the bootloader's menu (if any) uses the default keyboard
- layout, usually US@tie{}English (``qwerty'').
- Otherwise, this must be a @code{keyboard-layout} object (@pxref{Keyboard
- Layout}).
- @quotation Note
- This option is currently ignored by bootloaders other than @code{grub} and
- @code{grub-efi}.
- @end quotation
- @item @code{theme} (default: @var{#f})
- The bootloader theme object describing the theme to use. If no theme
- is provided, some bootloaders might use a default theme, that's true
- for GRUB.
- @item @code{terminal-outputs} (default: @code{'(gfxterm)})
- The output terminals used for the bootloader boot menu, as a list of
- symbols. GRUB accepts the values: @code{console}, @code{serial},
- @code{serial_@{0-3@}}, @code{gfxterm}, @code{vga_text},
- @code{mda_text}, @code{morse}, and @code{pkmodem}. This field
- corresponds to the GRUB variable @code{GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} (@pxref{Simple
- configuration,,, grub,GNU GRUB manual}).
- @item @code{terminal-inputs} (default: @code{'()})
- The input terminals used for the bootloader boot menu, as a list of
- symbols. For GRUB, the default is the native platform terminal as
- determined at run-time. GRUB accepts the values: @code{console},
- @code{serial}, @code{serial_@{0-3@}}, @code{at_keyboard}, and
- @code{usb_keyboard}. This field corresponds to the GRUB variable
- @code{GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT} (@pxref{Simple configuration,,, grub,GNU GRUB
- manual}).
- @item @code{serial-unit} (default: @code{#f})
- The serial unit used by the bootloader, as an integer from 0 to 3.
- For GRUB, it is chosen at run-time; currently GRUB chooses 0, which
- corresponds to COM1 (@pxref{Serial terminal,,, grub,GNU GRUB manual}).
- @item @code{serial-speed} (default: @code{#f})
- The speed of the serial interface, as an integer. For GRUB, the
- default value is chosen at run-time; currently GRUB chooses
- 9600@tie{}bps (@pxref{Serial terminal,,, grub,GNU GRUB manual}).

- @cindex dual boot
- @cindex boot menu
- Should you want to list additional boot menu entries @i{via} the

- boot another distro (hard to imagine!), you can define a menu entry
- along these lines:
- @lisp
- (menu-entry
- (label "The Other Distro")
- (linux "/boot/old/vmlinux-2.6.32")
- (linux-arguments '("root=/dev/sda2"))

- @deftp {Data Type} menu-entry
- The type of an entry in the bootloader menu.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{label}
- The label to show in the menu---e.g., @code{"GNU"}.
- @item @code{linux} (default: @code{#f})
- The Linux kernel image to boot, for example:
- @lisp
- (file-append linux-libre "/bzImage")
- @end lisp
- For GRUB, it is also possible to specify a device explicitly in the
- file path using GRUB's device naming convention (@pxref{Naming
- convention,,, grub, GNU GRUB manual}), for example:
- @example
- "(hd0,msdos1)/boot/vmlinuz"
- @end example
- If the device is specified explicitly as above, then the @code{device}
- field is ignored entirely.
- @item @code{linux-arguments} (default: @code{()})
- The list of extra Linux kernel command-line arguments---e.g.,
- @code{("console=ttyS0")}.
- @item @code{initrd} (default: @code{#f})
- A G-Expression or string denoting the file name of the initial RAM disk
- to use (@pxref{G-Expressions}).
- @item @code{device} (default: @code{#f})
- The device where the kernel and initrd are to be found---i.e., for GRUB,
- @dfn{root} for this menu entry (@pxref{root,,, grub, GNU GRUB manual}).
- This may be a file system label (a string), a file system UUID (a
- bytevector, @pxref{File Systems}), or @code{#f}, in which case
- the bootloader will search the device containing the file specified by
- the @code{linux} field (@pxref{search,,, grub, GNU GRUB manual}). It
- must @emph{not} be an OS device name such as @file{/dev/sda1}.
- @item @code{multiboot-kernel} (default: @code{#f})
- The kernel to boot in Multiboot-mode (@pxref{multiboot,,, grub, GNU GRUB
- manual}). When this field is set, a Multiboot menu-entry is generated.
- For example:
- @lisp
- (file-append mach "/boot/gnumach")

- As for @command{guix package --search}, the result is written in

- @item reconfigure
- Build the operating system described in @var{file}, activate it, and
- switch to it@footnote{This action (and the related actions
- @code{switch-generation} and @code{roll-back}) are usable only on
- systems already running Guix System.}.
- @quotation Note
- @c The paragraph below refers to the problem discussed at
- @c <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-08/msg00057.html>.
- It is highly recommended to run @command{guix pull} once before you run
- @command{guix system reconfigure} for the first time (@pxref{Invoking
- guix pull}). Failing to do that you would see an older version of Guix
- once @command{reconfigure} has completed.
- @end quotation
- This effects all the configuration specified in @var{file}: user
- accounts, system services, global package list, setuid programs, etc.
- The command starts system services specified in @var{file} that are not
- currently running; if a service is currently running this command will
- arrange for it to be upgraded the next time it is stopped (e.g.@: by
- @code{herd stop X} or @code{herd restart X}).
- This command creates a new generation whose number is one greater than
- the current generation (as reported by @command{guix system
- list-generations}). If that generation already exists, it will be
- overwritten. This behavior mirrors that of @command{guix package}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
- It also adds a bootloader menu entry for the new OS configuration,
- ---unless @option{--no-bootloader} is passed. For GRUB, it moves
- entries for older configurations to a submenu, allowing you to choose
- an older system generation at boot time should you need it.
- @cindex provenance tracking, of the operating system
- Upon completion, the new system is deployed under
- @file{/run/current-system}. This directory contains @dfn{provenance
- meta-data}: the list of channels in use (@pxref{Channels}) and
- @var{file} itself, when available. You can view it by running:
- @example
- guix system describe
- @end example
- This information is useful should you later want to inspect how this
- particular generation was built. In fact, assuming @var{file} is
- self-contained, you can later rebuild generation @var{n} of your
- operating system with:
- @example
- guix time-machine \
- -C /var/guix/profiles/system-@var{n}-link/channels.scm -- \
- system reconfigure \
- /var/guix/profiles/system-@var{n}-link/configuration.scm
- @end example
- You can think of it as some sort of built-in version control! Your
- system is not just a binary artifact: @emph{it carries its own source}.
- @xref{Service Reference, @code{provenance-service-type}}, for more
- information on provenance tracking.
- By default, @command{reconfigure} @emph{prevents you from downgrading
- your system}, which could (re)introduce security vulnerabilities and
- also cause problems with ``stateful'' services such as database
- management systems. You can override that behavior by passing
- @option{--allow-downgrades}.
- @item switch-generation
- @cindex generations
- Switch to an existing system generation. This action atomically
- switches the system profile to the specified system generation. It
- also rearranges the system's existing bootloader menu entries. It
- makes the menu entry for the specified system generation the default,
- and it moves the entries for the other generations to a submenu, if
- supported by the bootloader being used. The next time the system
- boots, it will use the specified system generation.
- The bootloader itself is not being reinstalled when using this
- command. Thus, the installed bootloader is used with an updated
- configuration file.
- The target generation can be specified explicitly by its generation
- number. For example, the following invocation would switch to system
- generation 7:
- @example
- guix system switch-generation 7
- @end example
- The target generation can also be specified relative to the current
- generation with the form @code{+N} or @code{-N}, where @code{+3} means
- ``3 generations ahead of the current generation,'' and @code{-1} means
- ``1 generation prior to the current generation.'' When specifying a
- negative value such as @code{-1}, you must precede it with @code{--} to
- prevent it from being parsed as an option. For example:
- @example
- guix system switch-generation -- -1
- @end example
- Currently, the effect of invoking this action is @emph{only} to switch
- the system profile to an existing generation and rearrange the
- bootloader menu entries. To actually start using the target system
- generation, you must reboot after running this action. In the future,
- it will be updated to do the same things as @command{reconfigure},
- like activating and deactivating services.
- This action will fail if the specified generation does not exist.
- @item roll-back
- @cindex rolling back
- Switch to the preceding system generation. The next time the system
- boots, it will use the preceding system generation. This is the inverse
- of @command{reconfigure}, and it is exactly the same as invoking
- @command{switch-generation} with an argument of @code{-1}.
- Currently, as with @command{switch-generation}, you must reboot after
- running this action to actually start using the preceding system
- generation.
- @item delete-generations
- @cindex deleting system generations
- @cindex saving space
- Delete system generations, making them candidates for garbage collection
- (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}, for information on how to run the ``garbage
- collector'').
- This works in the same way as @samp{guix package --delete-generations}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix package, @option{--delete-generations}}). With no
- arguments, all system generations but the current one are deleted:
- @example
- guix system delete-generations
- @end example
- You can also select the generations you want to delete. The example below
- deletes all the system generations that are more than two month old:
- @example
- guix system delete-generations 2m
- @end example
- Running this command automatically reinstalls the bootloader with an updated
- list of menu entries---e.g., the ``old generations'' sub-menu in GRUB no
- longer lists the generations that have been deleted.
- @item build
- Build the derivation of the operating system, which includes all the
- configuration files and programs needed to boot and run the system.
- This action does not actually install anything.
- @item init
- Populate the given directory with all the files necessary to run the
- operating system specified in @var{file}. This is useful for first-time
- installations of Guix System. For instance:
- @example
- guix system init my-os-config.scm /mnt
- @end example
- copies to @file{/mnt} all the store items required by the configuration
- specified in @file{my-os-config.scm}. This includes configuration
- files, packages, and so on. It also creates other essential files
- needed for the system to operate correctly---e.g., the @file{/etc},
- @file{/var}, and @file{/run} directories, and the @file{/bin/sh} file.
- This command also installs bootloader on the target specified in
- @file{my-os-config}, unless the @option{--no-bootloader} option was
- passed.
- @item vm
- @cindex virtual machine
- @cindex VM
- @anchor{guix system vm}
- Build a virtual machine that contains the operating system declared in
- @var{file}, and return a script to run that virtual machine (VM).
- @quotation Note
- The @code{vm} action and others below
- can use KVM support in the Linux-libre kernel. Specifically, if the
- machine has hardware virtualization support, the corresponding
- KVM kernel module should be loaded, and the @file{/dev/kvm} device node
- must exist and be readable and writable by the user and by the
- build users of the daemon (@pxref{Build Environment Setup}).
- @end quotation
- Arguments given to the script are passed to QEMU as in the example
- below, which enables networking and requests 1@tie{}GiB of RAM for the
- emulated machine:
- @example
- $ /gnu/store/@dots{}-run-vm.sh -m 1024 -smp 2 -net user,model=virtio-net-pci
- @end example
- The VM shares its store with the host system.
- Additional file systems can be shared between the host and the VM using
- the @option{--share} and @option{--expose} command-line options: the former
- specifies a directory to be shared with write access, while the latter
- provides read-only access to the shared directory.
- The example below creates a VM in which the user's home directory is
- accessible read-only, and where the @file{/exchange} directory is a
- read-write mapping of @file{$HOME/tmp} on the host:
- @example
- guix system vm my-config.scm \
- --expose=$HOME --share=$HOME/tmp=/exchange
- @end example
- On GNU/Linux, the default is to boot directly to the kernel; this has
- the advantage of requiring only a very tiny root disk image since the
- store of the host can then be mounted.
- The @option{--full-boot} option forces a complete boot sequence, starting
- with the bootloader. This requires more disk space since a root image
- containing at least the kernel, initrd, and bootloader data files must
- be created. The @option{--image-size} option can be used to specify the
- size of the image.
- @cindex System images, creation in various formats
- @cindex Creating system images in various formats
- @item vm-image
- @itemx image
- @itemx docker-image
- Return a virtual machine, disk image, or Docker image of the operating
- system declared in @var{file} that stands alone. By default,
- @command{guix system} estimates the size of the image needed to store
- the system, but you can use the @option{--image-size} option to specify
- a value. Docker images are built to contain exactly what they need, so
- the @option{--image-size} option is ignored in the case of
- @code{docker-image}.
- @cindex image, creating disk images
- The @code{image} command can produce various image types. The
- image type can be selected using the @option{--image-type} option. It
- defaults to @code{efi-raw}. When its value is @code{iso9660}, the
- @option{--label} option can be used to specify a volume ID with
- @code{image}. By default, the root file system of a disk image is
- mounted non-volatile; the @option{--volatile} option can be provided to
- make it volatile instead. When using @code{image}, the bootloader
- installed on the generated image is taken from the provided
- @code{operating-system} definition. The following example demonstrates
- how to generate an image that uses the @code{grub-efi-bootloader}
- bootloader and boot it with QEMU:
- @example
- image=$(guix system image --image-type=qcow2 \
- gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl)
- cp $image /tmp/my-image.qcow2
- chmod +w /tmp/my-image.qcow2
- qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda /tmp/my-image.qcow2 -m 1000 \
- -bios $(guix build ovmf)/share/firmware/ovmf_x64.bin
- @end example
- When using the @code{efi-raw} image type, a raw disk image is produced;
- it can be copied as is to a USB stick, for instance. Assuming
- @code{/dev/sdc} is the device corresponding to a USB stick, one can copy
- the image to it using the following command:
- @example
- # dd if=$(guix system image my-os.scm) of=/dev/sdc status=progress
- @end example
- The @code{--list-image-types} command lists all the available image
- types.
- @cindex vm-image, creating virtual machine images
- When using @code{vm-image}, the returned image is in qcow2 format, which
- the QEMU emulator can efficiently use. @xref{Running Guix in a VM}, for
- more information on how to run the image in a virtual machine. The
- @code{grub-bootloader} bootloader is always used independently of what
- is declared in the @code{operating-system} file passed as argument.
- This is to make it easier to work with QEMU, which uses the SeaBIOS BIOS
- by default, expecting a bootloader to be installed in the Master Boot
- Record (MBR).
- @cindex docker-image, creating docker images
- When using @code{docker-image}, a Docker image is produced. Guix builds
- the image from scratch, not from a pre-existing Docker base image. As a
- result, it contains @emph{exactly} what you define in the operating
- system configuration file. You can then load the image and launch a
- Docker container using commands like the following:
- @example
- image_id="`docker load < guix-system-docker-image.tar.gz`"
- container_id="`docker create $image_id`"
- docker start $container_id
- @end example
- This command starts a new Docker container from the specified image. It
- will boot the Guix system in the usual manner, which means it will
- start any services you have defined in the operating system
- configuration. You can get an interactive shell running in the container
- using @command{docker exec}:
- @example
- docker exec -ti $container_id /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash --login
- @end example
- Depending on what you run in the Docker container, it
- may be necessary to give the container additional permissions. For
- example, if you intend to build software using Guix inside of the Docker
- container, you may need to pass the @option{--privileged} option to
- @code{docker create}.
- Last, the @option{--network} option applies to @command{guix system
- docker-image}: it produces an image where network is supposedly shared
- with the host, and thus without services like nscd or NetworkManager.
- @item container
- Return a script to run the operating system declared in @var{file}
- within a container. Containers are a set of lightweight isolation
- mechanisms provided by the kernel Linux-libre. Containers are
- substantially less resource-demanding than full virtual machines since
- the kernel, shared objects, and other resources can be shared with the
- host system; this also means they provide thinner isolation.
- Currently, the script must be run as root in order to support more than
- a single user and group. The container shares its store with the host
- system.
- As with the @code{vm} action (@pxref{guix system vm}), additional file
- systems to be shared between the host and container can be specified
- using the @option{--share} and @option{--expose} options:
- @example
- guix system container my-config.scm \
- --expose=$HOME --share=$HOME/tmp=/exchange
- @end example
- @quotation Note
- This option requires Linux-libre 3.19 or newer.
- @end quotation

- @var{options} can contain any of the common build options (@pxref{Common

- @item --expression=@var{expr}
- @itemx -e @var{expr}
- Consider the operating-system @var{expr} evaluates to.
- This is an alternative to specifying a file which evaluates to an
- operating system.
- This is used to generate the Guix system installer @pxref{Building the
- Installation Image}).
- @item --system=@var{system}
- @itemx -s @var{system}
- Attempt to build for @var{system} instead of the host system type.
- This works as per @command{guix build} (@pxref{Invoking guix build}).
- @item --derivation
- @itemx -d
- Return the derivation file name of the given operating system without
- building anything.
- @cindex provenance tracking, of the operating system
- @item --save-provenance
- As discussed above, @command{guix system init} and @command{guix system
- reconfigure} always save provenance information @i{via} a dedicated
- service (@pxref{Service Reference, @code{provenance-service-type}}).
- However, other commands don't do that by default. If you wish to, say,
- create a virtual machine image that contains provenance information, you
- can run:
- @example
- guix system vm-image --save-provenance config.scm
- @end example
- That way, the resulting image will effectively ``embed its own source''
- in the form of meta-data in @file{/run/current-system}. With that
- information, one can rebuild the image to make sure it really contains
- what it pretends to contain; or they could use that to derive a variant
- of the image.
- @item --image-type=@var{type}
- @itemx -t @var{type}
- For the @code{image} action, create an image with given @var{type}.
- When this option is omitted, @command{guix system} uses the
- @code{efi-raw} image type.
- @cindex ISO-9660 format
- @cindex CD image format
- @cindex DVD image format
- @option{--image-type=iso9660} produces an ISO-9660 image, suitable
- for burning on CDs and DVDs.
- @item --image-size=@var{size}
- For the @code{vm-image} and @code{image} actions, create an image
- of the given @var{size}. @var{size} may be a number of bytes, or it may
- include a unit as a suffix (@pxref{Block size, size specifications,,
- coreutils, GNU Coreutils}).
- When this option is omitted, @command{guix system} computes an estimate
- of the image size as a function of the size of the system declared in
- @var{file}.
- @item --network
- @itemx -N
- For the @code{container} action, allow containers to access the host network,
- that is, do not create a network namespace.
- @item --root=@var{file}
- @itemx -r @var{file}
- Make @var{file} a symlink to the result, and register it as a garbage
- collector root.
- @item --skip-checks
- Skip pre-installation safety checks.
- By default, @command{guix system init} and @command{guix system
- reconfigure} perform safety checks: they make sure the file systems that
- appear in the @code{operating-system} declaration actually exist
- (@pxref{File Systems}), and that any Linux kernel modules that may be
- needed at boot time are listed in @code{initrd-modules} (@pxref{Initial
- RAM Disk}). Passing this option skips these tests altogether.
- @item --allow-downgrades
- Instruct @command{guix system reconfigure} to allow system downgrades.
- By default, @command{reconfigure} prevents you from downgrading your
- system. It achieves that by comparing the provenance info of your
- system (shown by @command{guix system describe}) with that of your
- @command{guix} command (shown by @command{guix describe}). If the
- commits for @command{guix} are not descendants of those used for your
- system, @command{guix system reconfigure} errors out. Passing
- @option{--allow-downgrades} allows you to bypass these checks.

- The command:
- @example
- $ guix system extension-graph @var{file} | xdot -

- @anchor{system-shepherd-graph}
- @item shepherd-graph
- Emit to standard output the @dfn{dependency
- graph} of shepherd services of the operating system defined in

- The file should evaluate to a list of @var{machine} objects. This example,
- upon being deployed, will create a new generation on the remote system
- realizing the @code{operating-system} declaration @code{%system}.
- @code{environment} and @code{configuration} specify how the machine should be
- provisioned---that is, how the computing resources should be created and
- managed. The above example does not create any resources, as a
- @code{'managed-host} is a machine that is already running the Guix system and
- available over the network. This is a particularly simple case; a more
- complex deployment may involve, for example, starting virtual machines through
- a Virtual Private Server (VPS) provider. In such a case, a different
- @var{environment} type would be used.
- Do note that you first need to generate a key pair on the coordinator machine
- to allow the daemon to export signed archives of files from the store
- (@pxref{Invoking guix archive}), though this step is automatic on Guix
- System:
- @example
- # guix archive --generate-key
- @end example
- @noindent
- Each target machine must authorize the key of the master machine so that it
- accepts store items it receives from the coordinator:
- @example
- # guix archive --authorize < coordinator-public-key.txt
- @end example
- @code{user}, in this example, specifies the name of the user account to log in
- as to perform the deployment. Its default value is @code{root}, but root
- login over SSH may be forbidden in some cases. To work around this,
- @command{guix deploy} can log in as an unprivileged user and employ
- @code{sudo} to escalate privileges. This will only work if @code{sudo} is
- currently installed on the remote and can be invoked non-interactively as
- @code{user}. That is, the line in @code{sudoers} granting @code{user} the

- @node Running Guix in a VM
- @section Running Guix in a Virtual Machine
- @cindex virtual machine
- To run Guix in a virtual machine (VM), one can use the pre-built Guix VM image
- distributed at
- @url{@value{BASE-URL}/guix-system-vm-image-@value{VERSION}.x86_64-linux.xz}.
- This image is a compressed image in QCOW format. You will first need to
- decompress with @command{xz -d}, and then you can pass it to an emulator such
- as QEMU (see below for details).
- This image boots the Xfce graphical environment and it contains some
- commonly used tools. You can install more software in the image by running
- @command{guix package} in a terminal (@pxref{Invoking guix package}). You can
- also reconfigure the system based on its initial configuration file available
- as @file{/run/current-system/configuration.scm} (@pxref{Using the
- Configuration System}).
- Instead of using this pre-built image, one can also build their own virtual
- machine image using @command{guix system vm-image} (@pxref{Invoking guix
- system}). The returned image is in qcow2 format, which the
- @uref{https://qemu.org/, QEMU emulator} can efficiently use.
- @cindex QEMU
- If you built your own image, you must copy it out of the store
- (@pxref{The Store}) and give yourself permission to write to the copy
- before you can use it. When invoking QEMU, you must choose a system
- emulator that is suitable for your hardware platform. Here is a minimal
- QEMU invocation that will boot the result of @command{guix system
- vm-image} on x86_64 hardware:
- @example
- $ qemu-system-x86_64 \
- -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci \
- -enable-kvm -m 1024 \
- -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \
- -drive if=none,file=/tmp/qemu-image,id=myhd
- @end example
- Here is what each of these options means:
- @table @code
- @item qemu-system-x86_64
- This specifies the hardware platform to emulate. This should match the
- host.
- @item -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci
- Enable the unprivileged user-mode network stack. The guest OS can
- access the host but not vice versa. This is the simplest way to get the
- guest OS online. @code{model} specifies which network device to emulate:
- @code{virtio-net-pci} is a special device made for virtualized operating
- systems and recommended for most uses. Assuming your hardware platform is
- x86_64, you can get a list of available NIC models by running
- @command{qemu-system-x86_64 -nic model=help}.
- @item -enable-kvm
- If your system has hardware virtualization extensions, enabling the
- virtual machine support (KVM) of the Linux kernel will make things run
- faster.
- @c To run Xfce + 'guix pull', we need at least 1G of RAM.
- @item -m 1024
- RAM available to the guest OS, in mebibytes. Defaults to 128@tie{}MiB,
- which may be insufficient for some operations.
- @item -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd
- Create a @code{virtio-blk} drive called ``myhd''. @code{virtio-blk} is a
- ``paravirtualization'' mechanism for block devices that allows QEMU to achieve
- better performance than if it were emulating a complete disk drive. See the
- QEMU and KVM documentation for more info.
- @item -drive if=none,file=/tmp/qemu-image,id=myhd
- Use our QCOW image, the @file{/tmp/qemu-image} file, as the backing
- store of the ``myhd'' drive.
- @end table
- The default @command{run-vm.sh} script that is returned by an invocation of
- @command{guix system vm} does not add a @command{-nic user} flag by default.
- To get network access from within the vm add the @code{(dhcp-client-service)}
- to your system definition and start the VM using
- @command{`guix system vm config.scm` -nic user}. An important caveat of using
- @command{-nic user} for networking is that @command{ping} will not work, because
- it uses the ICMP protocol. You'll have to use a different command to check for
- network connectivity, for example @command{guix download}.
- @subsection Connecting Through SSH
- @cindex SSH
- @cindex SSH server
- To enable SSH inside a VM you need to add an SSH server like
- @code{openssh-service-type} to your VM (@pxref{Networking Services,
- @code{openssh-service-type}}). In addition you need to forward the SSH port,
- 22 by default, to the host. You can do this with
- @example
- `guix system vm config.scm` -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22
- @end example
- To connect to the VM you can run
- @example
- ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 10022
- @end example
- The @command{-p} tells @command{ssh} the port you want to connect to.
- @command{-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null} prevents @command{ssh} from complaining
- every time you modify your @command{config.scm} file and the
- @command{-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no} prevents you from having to allow a
- connection to an unknown host every time you connect.
- @subsection Using @command{virt-viewer} with Spice
- As an alternative to the default @command{qemu} graphical client you can
- use the @command{remote-viewer} from the @command{virt-viewer} package. To
- connect pass the @command{-spice port=5930,disable-ticketing} flag to
- @command{qemu}. See previous section for further information on how to do this.
- Spice also allows you to do some nice stuff like share your clipboard with your
- VM@. To enable that you'll also have to pass the following flags to @command{qemu}:
- @example
- -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5
- -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent
- -device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,
- name=com.redhat.spice.0
- @end example
- You'll also need to add the @code{(spice-vdagent-service)} to your
- system definition (@pxref{Miscellaneous Services, Spice service}).
- @node Defining Services
- @section Defining Services
- The previous sections show the available services and how one can combine
- them in an @code{operating-system} declaration. But how do we define
- them in the first place? And what is a service anyway?
- @menu
- * Service Composition:: The model for composing services.
- * Service Types and Services:: Types and services.
- * Service Reference:: API reference.
- * Shepherd Services:: A particular type of service.
- @end menu
- @node Service Composition
- @subsection Service Composition
- @cindex services
- @cindex daemons
- Here we define a @dfn{service} as, broadly, something that extends the
- functionality of the operating system. Often a service is a process---a
- @dfn{daemon}---started when the system boots: a secure shell server, a
- Web server, the Guix build daemon, etc. Sometimes a service is a daemon
- whose execution can be triggered by another daemon---e.g., an FTP server
- started by @command{inetd} or a D-Bus service activated by
- @command{dbus-daemon}. Occasionally, a service does not map to a
- daemon. For instance, the ``account'' service collects user accounts
- and makes sure they exist when the system runs; the ``udev'' service
- collects device management rules and makes them available to the eudev
- daemon; the @file{/etc} service populates the @file{/etc} directory
- of the system.
- @cindex service extensions
- Guix system services are connected by @dfn{extensions}. For instance, the
- secure shell service @emph{extends} the Shepherd---the
- initialization system, running as PID@tie{}1---by giving it the command
- lines to start and stop the secure shell daemon (@pxref{Networking
- Services, @code{openssh-service-type}}); the UPower service extends the D-Bus
- service by passing it its @file{.service} specification, and extends the
- udev service by passing it device management rules (@pxref{Desktop
- Services, @code{upower-service}}); the Guix daemon service extends the
- Shepherd by passing it the command lines to start and stop the daemon,
- and extends the account service by passing it a list of required build
- user accounts (@pxref{Base Services}).
- All in all, services and their ``extends'' relations form a directed
- acyclic graph (DAG). If we represent services as boxes and extensions
- as arrows, a typical system might provide something like this:
- @image{images/service-graph,,5in,Typical service extension graph.}
- @cindex system service
- At the bottom, we see the @dfn{system service}, which produces the
- directory containing everything to run and boot the system, as returned
- by the @command{guix system build} command. @xref{Service Reference},
- to learn about the other service types shown here.
- @xref{system-extension-graph, the @command{guix system extension-graph}
- command}, for information on how to generate this representation for a
- particular operating system definition.
- @cindex service types
- Technically, developers can define @dfn{service types} to express these
- relations. There can be any number of services of a given type on the
- system---for instance, a system running two instances of the GNU secure
- shell server (lsh) has two instances of @code{lsh-service-type}, with
- different parameters.
- The following section describes the programming interface for service
- types and services.
- @node Service Types and Services
- @subsection Service Types and Services
- A @dfn{service type} is a node in the DAG described above. Let us start
- with a simple example, the service type for the Guix build daemon
- (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon}):
- @lisp
- (define guix-service-type
- (service-type
- (name 'guix)
- (extensions
- (list (service-extension shepherd-root-service-type guix-shepherd-service)
- (service-extension account-service-type guix-accounts)
- (service-extension activation-service-type guix-activation)))
- (default-value (guix-configuration))))
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- It defines three things:
- @enumerate
- @item
- A name, whose sole purpose is to make inspection and debugging easier.
- @item
- A list of @dfn{service extensions}, where each extension designates the
- target service type and a procedure that, given the parameters of the
- service, returns a list of objects to extend the service of that type.
- Every service type has at least one service extension. The only
- exception is the @dfn{boot service type}, which is the ultimate service.
- @item
- Optionally, a default value for instances of this type.
- @end enumerate
- In this example, @code{guix-service-type} extends three services:
- @table @code
- @item shepherd-root-service-type
- The @code{guix-shepherd-service} procedure defines how the Shepherd
- service is extended. Namely, it returns a @code{<shepherd-service>}
- object that defines how @command{guix-daemon} is started and stopped
- (@pxref{Shepherd Services}).
- @item account-service-type
- This extension for this service is computed by @code{guix-accounts},
- which returns a list of @code{user-group} and @code{user-account}
- objects representing the build user accounts (@pxref{Invoking
- guix-daemon}).
- @item activation-service-type
- Here @code{guix-activation} is a procedure that returns a gexp, which is
- a code snippet to run at ``activation time''---e.g., when the service is
- booted.
- @end table
- A service of this type is instantiated like this:
- @lisp
- (service guix-service-type
- (guix-configuration
- (build-accounts 5)
- (extra-options '("--gc-keep-derivations"))))
- @end lisp
- The second argument to the @code{service} form is a value representing
- the parameters of this specific service instance.
- @xref{guix-configuration-type, @code{guix-configuration}}, for
- information about the @code{guix-configuration} data type. When the
- value is omitted, the default value specified by
- @code{guix-service-type} is used:
- @lisp
- (service guix-service-type)
- @end lisp
- @code{guix-service-type} is quite simple because it extends other
- services but is not extensible itself.
- @c @subsubsubsection Extensible Service Types
- The service type for an @emph{extensible} service looks like this:
- @lisp
- (define udev-service-type
- (service-type (name 'udev)
- (extensions
- (list (service-extension shepherd-root-service-type
- udev-shepherd-service)))
- (compose concatenate) ;concatenate the list of rules
- (extend (lambda (config rules)
- (match config
- (($ <udev-configuration> udev initial-rules)
- (udev-configuration
- (udev udev) ;the udev package to use
- (rules (append initial-rules rules)))))))))
- @end lisp
- This is the service type for the
- @uref{https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Eudev, eudev device
- management daemon}. Compared to the previous example, in addition to an
- extension of @code{shepherd-root-service-type}, we see two new fields:
- @table @code
- @item compose
- This is the procedure to @dfn{compose} the list of extensions to
- services of this type.
- Services can extend the udev service by passing it lists of rules; we
- compose those extensions simply by concatenating them.
- @item extend
- This procedure defines how the value of the service is @dfn{extended} with
- the composition of the extensions.
- Udev extensions are composed into a list of rules, but the udev service
- value is itself a @code{<udev-configuration>} record. So here, we
- extend that record by appending the list of rules it contains to the
- list of contributed rules.
- @item description
- This is a string giving an overview of the service type. The string can
- contain Texinfo markup (@pxref{Overview,,, texinfo, GNU Texinfo}). The
- @command{guix system search} command searches these strings and displays
- them (@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
- @end table
- There can be only one instance of an extensible service type such as
- @code{udev-service-type}. If there were more, the
- @code{service-extension} specifications would be ambiguous.
- Still here? The next section provides a reference of the programming
- interface for services.
- @node Service Reference
- @subsection Service Reference
- We have seen an overview of service types (@pxref{Service Types and
- Services}). This section provides a reference on how to manipulate
- services and service types. This interface is provided by the
- @code{(gnu services)} module.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service @var{type} [@var{value}]
- Return a new service of @var{type}, a @code{<service-type>} object (see
- below). @var{value} can be any object; it represents the parameters of
- this particular service instance.
- When @var{value} is omitted, the default value specified by @var{type}
- is used; if @var{type} does not specify a default value, an error is
- raised.
- For instance, this:
- @lisp
- (service openssh-service-type)
- @end lisp
- @noindent
- is equivalent to this:
- @lisp
- (service openssh-service-type
- (openssh-configuration))
- @end lisp
- In both cases the result is an instance of @code{openssh-service-type}
- with the default configuration.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service? @var{obj}
- Return true if @var{obj} is a service.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-kind @var{service}
- Return the type of @var{service}---i.e., a @code{<service-type>} object.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-value @var{service}
- Return the value associated with @var{service}. It represents its
- parameters.
- @end deffn
- Here is an example of how a service is created and manipulated:
- @lisp
- (define s
- (service nginx-service-type
- (nginx-configuration
- (nginx nginx)
- (log-directory log-directory)
- (run-directory run-directory)
- (file config-file))))
- (service? s)
- @result{} #t
- (eq? (service-kind s) nginx-service-type)
- @result{} #t
- @end lisp
- The @code{modify-services} form provides a handy way to change the
- parameters of some of the services of a list such as
- @code{%base-services} (@pxref{Base Services, @code{%base-services}}). It
- evaluates to a list of services. Of course, you could always use
- standard list combinators such as @code{map} and @code{fold} to do that
- (@pxref{SRFI-1, List Library,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual});
- @code{modify-services} simply provides a more concise form for this
- common pattern.
- @deffn {Scheme Syntax} modify-services @var{services} @
- (@var{type} @var{variable} => @var{body}) @dots{}
- Modify the services listed in @var{services} according to the given
- clauses. Each clause has the form:
- @example
- (@var{type} @var{variable} => @var{body})
- @end example
- where @var{type} is a service type---e.g.,
- @code{guix-service-type}---and @var{variable} is an identifier that is
- bound within the @var{body} to the service parameters---e.g., a
- @code{guix-configuration} instance---of the original service of that
- @var{type}.
- The @var{body} should evaluate to the new service parameters, which will
- be used to configure the new service. This new service will replace the
- original in the resulting list. Because a service's service parameters
- are created using @code{define-record-type*}, you can write a succinct
- @var{body} that evaluates to the new service parameters by using the
- @code{inherit} feature that @code{define-record-type*} provides.
- @xref{Using the Configuration System}, for example usage.
- @end deffn
- Next comes the programming interface for service types. This is
- something you want to know when writing new service definitions, but not
- necessarily when simply looking for ways to customize your
- @code{operating-system} declaration.
- @deftp {Data Type} service-type
- @cindex service type
- This is the representation of a @dfn{service type} (@pxref{Service Types
- and Services}).
- @table @asis
- @item @code{name}
- This is a symbol, used only to simplify inspection and debugging.
- @item @code{extensions}
- A non-empty list of @code{<service-extension>} objects (see below).
- @item @code{compose} (default: @code{#f})
- If this is @code{#f}, then the service type denotes services that cannot
- be extended---i.e., services that do not receive ``values'' from other
- services.
- Otherwise, it must be a one-argument procedure. The procedure is called
- by @code{fold-services} and is passed a list of values collected from
- extensions. It may return any single value.
- @item @code{extend} (default: @code{#f})
- If this is @code{#f}, services of this type cannot be extended.
- Otherwise, it must be a two-argument procedure: @code{fold-services}
- calls it, passing it the initial value of the service as the first
- argument and the result of applying @code{compose} to the extension
- values as the second argument. It must return a value that is a valid
- parameter value for the service instance.
- @item @code{description}
- This is a string, possibly using Texinfo markup, describing in a couple
- of sentences what the service is about. This string allows users to
- find about the service through @command{guix system search}
- (@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
- @item @code{default-value} (default: @code{&no-default-value})
- The default value associated for instances of this service type. This
- allows users to use the @code{service} form without its second argument:
- @lisp
- (service @var{type})
- @end lisp
- The returned service in this case has the default value specified by
- @var{type}.
- @end table
- @xref{Service Types and Services}, for examples.
- @end deftp
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-extension @var{target-type} @
- @var{compute}
- Return a new extension for services of type @var{target-type}.
- @var{compute} must be a one-argument procedure: @code{fold-services}
- calls it, passing it the value associated with the service that provides
- the extension; it must return a valid value for the target service.
- @end deffn
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} service-extension? @var{obj}
- Return true if @var{obj} is a service extension.
- @end deffn
- Occasionally, you might want to simply extend an existing service. This
- involves creating a new service type and specifying the extension of
- interest, which can be verbose; the @code{simple-service} procedure
- provides a shorthand for this.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} simple-service @var{name} @var{target} @var{value}
- Return a service that extends @var{target} with @var{value}. This works
- by creating a singleton service type @var{name}, of which the returned
- service is an instance.
- For example, this extends mcron (@pxref{Scheduled Job Execution}) with
- an additional job:
- @lisp
- (simple-service 'my-mcron-job mcron-service-type
- #~(job '(next-hour (3)) "guix gc -F 2G"))
- @end lisp
- @end deffn
- At the core of the service abstraction lies the @code{fold-services}
- procedure, which is responsible for ``compiling'' a list of services
- down to a single directory that contains everything needed to boot and
- run the system---the directory shown by the @command{guix system build}
- command (@pxref{Invoking guix system}). In essence, it propagates
- service extensions down the service graph, updating each node parameters
- on the way, until it reaches the root node.
- @deffn {Scheme Procedure} fold-services @var{services} @
- [#:target-type @var{system-service-type}]
- Fold @var{services} by propagating their extensions down to the root of
- type @var{target-type}; return the root service adjusted accordingly.
- @end deffn
- Lastly, the @code{(gnu services)} module also defines several essential
- service types, some of which are listed below.
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} system-service-type
- This is the root of the service graph. It produces the system directory
- as returned by the @command{guix system build} command.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} boot-service-type
- The type of the ``boot service'', which produces the @dfn{boot script}.
- The boot script is what the initial RAM disk runs when booting.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} etc-service-type
- The type of the @file{/etc} service. This service is used to create
- files under @file{/etc} and can be extended by
- passing it name/file tuples such as:
- @lisp
- (list `("issue" ,(plain-file "issue" "Welcome!\n")))
- @end lisp
- In this example, the effect would be to add an @file{/etc/issue} file
- pointing to the given file.
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} setuid-program-service-type
- Type for the ``setuid-program service''. This service collects lists of
- executable file names, passed as gexps, and adds them to the set of
- setuid-root programs on the system (@pxref{Setuid Programs}).
- @end defvr
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} profile-service-type
- Type of the service that populates the @dfn{system profile}---i.e., the
- programs under @file{/run/current-system/profile}. Other services can
- extend it by passing it lists of packages to add to the system profile.
- @end defvr
- @cindex provenance tracking, of the operating system
- @anchor{provenance-service-type}
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} provenance-service-type
- This is the type of the service that records @dfn{provenance meta-data}
- in the system itself. It creates several files under
- @file{/run/current-system}:
- @table @file
- @item channels.scm
- This is a ``channel file'' that can be passed to @command{guix pull -C}
- or @command{guix time-machine -C}, and which describes the channels used
- to build the system, if that information was available
- (@pxref{Channels}).
- @item configuration.scm
- This is the file that was passed as the value for this
- @code{provenance-service-type} service. By default, @command{guix
- system reconfigure} automatically passes the OS configuration file it
- received on the command line.
- @item provenance
- This contains the same information as the two other files but in a
- format that is more readily processable.
- @end table
- In general, these two pieces of information (channels and configuration
- file) are enough to reproduce the operating system ``from source''.
- @quotation Caveats
- This information is necessary to rebuild your operating system, but it
- is not always sufficient. In particular, @file{configuration.scm}
- itself is insufficient if it is not self-contained---if it refers to
- external Guile modules or to extra files. If you want
- @file{configuration.scm} to be self-contained, we recommend that modules
- or files it refers to be part of a channel.
- Besides, provenance meta-data is ``silent'' in the sense that it does
- not change the bits contained in your system, @emph{except for the
- meta-data bits themselves}. Two different OS configurations or sets of
- channels can lead to the same system, bit-for-bit; when
- @code{provenance-service-type} is used, these two systems will have
- different meta-data and thus different store file names, which makes
- comparison less trivial.
- @end quotation
- This service is automatically added to your operating system
- configuration when you use @command{guix system reconfigure},
- @command{guix system init}, or @command{guix deploy}.
- @end defvr
- @node Shepherd Services
- @subsection Shepherd Services
- @cindex shepherd services
- @cindex PID 1
- @cindex init system
- The @code{(gnu services shepherd)} module provides a way to define
- services managed by the GNU@tie{}Shepherd, which is the
- initialization system---the first process that is started when the
- system boots, also known as PID@tie{}1
- (@pxref{Introduction,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}).
- Services in the Shepherd can depend on each other. For instance, the
- SSH daemon may need to be started after the syslog daemon has been
- started, which in turn can only happen once all the file systems have
- been mounted. The simple operating system defined earlier (@pxref{Using
- the Configuration System}) results in a service graph like this:
- @image{images/shepherd-graph,,5in,Typical shepherd service graph.}
- You can actually generate such a graph for any operating system
- definition using the @command{guix system shepherd-graph} command
- (@pxref{system-shepherd-graph, @command{guix system shepherd-graph}}).
- The @code{%shepherd-root-service} is a service object representing
- PID@tie{}1, of type @code{shepherd-root-service-type}; it can be extended
- by passing it lists of @code{<shepherd-service>} objects.
- @deftp {Data Type} shepherd-service
- The data type representing a service managed by the Shepherd.
- @table @asis
- @item @code{provision}
- This is a list of symbols denoting what the service provides.
- These are the names that may be passed to @command{herd start},
- @command{herd status}, and similar commands (@pxref{Invoking herd,,,
- shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}). @xref{Slots of services, the
- @code{provides} slot,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}, for details.
- @item @code{requirement} (default: @code{'()})
- List of symbols denoting the Shepherd services this one depends on.
- @cindex one-shot services, for the Shepherd
- @item @code{one-shot?} (default: @code{#f})
- Whether this service is @dfn{one-shot}. One-shot services stop immediately
- after their @code{start} action has completed. @xref{Slots of services,,,
- shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}, for more info.
- @item @code{respawn?} (default: @code{#t})
- Whether to restart the service when it stops, for instance when the
- underlying process dies.
- @item @code{start}
- @itemx @code{stop} (default: @code{#~(const #f)})
- The @code{start} and @code{stop} fields refer to the Shepherd's
- facilities to start and stop processes (@pxref{Service De- and
- Constructors,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}). They are given as
- G-expressions that get expanded in the Shepherd configuration file
- (@pxref{G-Expressions}).
- @item @code{actions} (default: @code{'()})
- @cindex actions, of Shepherd services
- This is a list of @code{shepherd-action} objects (see below) defining
- @dfn{actions} supported by the service, in addition to the standard
- @code{start} and @code{stop} actions. Actions listed here become available as
- @command{herd} sub-commands:
- @example
- herd @var{action} @var{service} [@var{arguments}@dots{}]
- @end example
- @item @code{auto-start?} (default: @code{#t})
- Whether this service should be started automatically by the Shepherd. If it
- is @code{#f} the service has to be started manually with @code{herd start}.
- @item @code{documentation}
- A documentation string, as shown when running:
- @example
- herd doc @var{service-name}
- @end example
- where @var{service-name} is one of the symbols in @code{provision}
- (@pxref{Invoking herd,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}).
- @item @code{modules} (default: @code{%default-modules})
- This is the list of modules that must be in scope when @code{start} and
- @code{stop} are evaluated.
- @end table
- @end deftp
- @deftp {Data Type} shepherd-action
- This is the data type that defines additional actions implemented by a
- Shepherd service (see above).
- @table @code
- @item name
- Symbol naming the action.
- @item documentation
- This is a documentation string for the action. It can be viewed by running:
- @example
- herd doc @var{service} action @var{action}
- @end example
- @item procedure
- This should be a gexp that evaluates to a procedure of at least one argument,
- which is the ``running value'' of the service (@pxref{Slots of services,,,
- shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}).
- @end table
- The following example defines an action called @code{say-hello} that kindly
- greets the user:
- @lisp
- (shepherd-action
- (name 'say-hello)
- (documentation "Say hi!")
- (procedure #~(lambda (running . args)
- (format #t "Hello, friend! arguments: ~s\n"
- args)
- #t)))
- @end lisp
- Assuming this action is added to the @code{example} service, then you can do:
- @example
- # herd say-hello example
- Hello, friend! arguments: ()
- # herd say-hello example a b c
- Hello, friend! arguments: ("a" "b" "c")
- @end example
- This, as you can see, is a fairly sophisticated way to say hello.
- @xref{Service Convenience,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}, for more

- @end deftp
- @defvr {Scheme Variable} shepherd-root-service-type
- The service type for the Shepherd ``root service''---i.e., PID@tie{}1.
- This is the service type that extensions target when they want to create
- shepherd services (@pxref{Service Types and Services}, for an example).
- Each extension must pass a list of @code{<shepherd-service>}. Its
- value must be a @code{shepherd-configuration}, as described below.
- @end defvr
- @deftp {Data Type} shepherd-configuration
- This data type represents the Shepherd's configuration.
- @table @code
- @item shepherd (default: @code{shepherd})
- The Shepherd package to use.

- A list of @code{<shepherd-service>} to start.
- You should probably use the service extension
- mechanism instead (@pxref{Shepherd Services}).
- @end table

- %desktop-services)
- ;; ...
- ;; Use own Shepherd package.

- @node Documentation
- @chapter Documentation
- @cindex documentation, searching for
- @cindex searching for documentation
- @cindex Info, documentation format
- @cindex man pages
- @cindex manual pages
- In most cases packages installed with Guix come with documentation.
- There are two main documentation formats: ``Info'', a browseable
- hypertext format used for GNU software, and ``manual pages'' (or ``man
- pages''), the linear documentation format traditionally found on Unix.
- Info manuals are accessed with the @command{info} command or with Emacs,
- and man pages are accessed using @command{man}.
- You can look for documentation of software installed on your system by
- keyword. For example, the following command searches for information
- about ``TLS'' in Info manuals:
- @example
- $ info -k TLS
- "(emacs)Network Security" -- STARTTLS
- "(emacs)Network Security" -- TLS
- "(gnutls)Core TLS API" -- gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags
- "(gnutls)Core TLS API" -- gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function
- @dots{}
- @end example
- @noindent
- The command below searches for the same keyword in man pages:
- @example
- $ man -k TLS
- SSL (7) - OpenSSL SSL/TLS library
- certtool (1) - GnuTLS certificate tool
- @dots {}
- @end example
- These searches are purely local to your computer so you have the
- guarantee that documentation you find corresponds to what you have
- actually installed, you can access it off-line, and your privacy is
- respected.
- Once you have these results, you can view the relevant documentation by
- running, say:
- @example
- $ info "(gnutls)Core TLS API"
- @end example
- @noindent
- or:
- @example
- $ man certtool
- @end example
- Info manuals contain sections and indices as well as hyperlinks like
- those found in Web pages. The @command{info} reader (@pxref{Top, Info
- reader,, info-stnd, Stand-alone GNU Info}) and its Emacs counterpart
- (@pxref{Misc Help,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}) provide intuitive key
- bindings to navigate manuals. @xref{Getting Started,,, info, Info: An

- @node Installing Debugging Files
- @chapter Installing Debugging Files
- @cindex debugging files
- Program binaries, as produced by the GCC compilers for instance, are
- typically written in the ELF format, with a section containing
- @dfn{debugging information}. Debugging information is what allows the
- debugger, GDB, to map binary code to source code; it is required to
- debug a compiled program in good conditions.
- This chapter explains how to use separate debug info when packages
- provide it, and how to rebuild packages with debug info when it's
- missing.
- @menu
- * Separate Debug Info:: Installing 'debug' outputs.
- * Rebuilding Debug Info:: Building missing debug info.
- @end menu
- @node Separate Debug Info
- @section Separate Debug Info
- The problem with debugging information is that is takes up a fair amount
- of disk space. For example, debugging information for the GNU C Library
- weighs in at more than 60 MiB@. Thus, as a user, keeping all the
- debugging info of all the installed programs is usually not an option.
- Yet, space savings should not come at the cost of an impediment to
- debugging---especially in the GNU system, which should make it easier
- for users to exert their computing freedom (@pxref{GNU Distribution}).
- Thankfully, the GNU Binary Utilities (Binutils) and GDB provide a
- mechanism that allows users to get the best of both worlds: debugging
- information can be stripped from the binaries and stored in separate
- files. GDB is then able to load debugging information from those files,
- when they are available (@pxref{Separate Debug Files,,, gdb, Debugging
- with GDB}).
- The GNU distribution takes advantage of this by storing debugging
- information in the @code{lib/debug} sub-directory of a separate package
- output unimaginatively called @code{debug} (@pxref{Packages with
- Multiple Outputs}). Users can choose to install the @code{debug} output
- of a package when they need it. For instance, the following command
- installs the debugging information for the GNU C Library and for GNU
- Guile:
- @example
- guix install glibc:debug guile:debug
- @end example
- GDB must then be told to look for debug files in the user's profile, by
- setting the @code{debug-file-directory} variable (consider setting it
- from the @file{~/.gdbinit} file, @pxref{Startup,,, gdb, Debugging with
- GDB}):
- @example
- (gdb) set debug-file-directory ~/.guix-profile/lib/debug
- @end example
- From there on, GDB will pick up debugging information from the
- @file{.debug} files under @file{~/.guix-profile/lib/debug}.
- In addition, you will most likely want GDB to be able to show the source
- code being debugged. To do that, you will have to unpack the source
- code of the package of interest (obtained with @code{guix build
- --source}, @pxref{Invoking guix build}), and to point GDB to that source
- directory using the @code{directory} command (@pxref{Source Path,
- @code{directory},, gdb, Debugging with GDB}).
- @c XXX: keep me up-to-date
- The @code{debug} output mechanism in Guix is implemented by the
- @code{gnu-build-system} (@pxref{Build Systems}). Currently, it is
- opt-in---debugging information is available only for the packages with
- definitions explicitly declaring a @code{debug} output. To check
- whether a package has a @code{debug} output, use @command{guix package
- --list-available} (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
- Read on for how to deal with packages lacking a @code{debug} output.
- @node Rebuilding Debug Info
- @section Rebuilding Debug Info
- @cindex debugging info, rebuilding
- As we saw above, some packages, but not all, provide debugging info in a
- @code{debug} output. What can you do when debugging info is missing?
- The @option{--with-debug-info} option provides a solution to that: it
- allows you to rebuild the package(s) for which debugging info is
- missing---and only those---and to graft those onto the application
- you're debugging. Thus, while it's not as fast as installing a
- @code{debug} output, it is relatively inexpensive.
- Let's illustrate that. Suppose you're experiencing a bug in Inkscape
- and would like to see what's going on in GLib, a library that's deep
- down in its dependency graph. As it turns out, GLib does not have a
- @code{debug} output and the backtrace GDB shows is all sadness:
- @example
- (gdb) bt
- #0 0x00007ffff5f92190 in g_getenv ()
- from /gnu/store/@dots{}-glib-2.62.6/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
- #1 0x00007ffff608a7d6 in gobject_init_ctor ()
- from /gnu/store/@dots{}-glib-2.62.6/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
- #2 0x00007ffff7fe275a in call_init (l=<optimized out>, argc=argc@@entry=1, argv=argv@@entry=0x7fffffffcfd8,
- env=env@@entry=0x7fffffffcfe8) at dl-init.c:72
- #3 0x00007ffff7fe2866 in call_init (env=0x7fffffffcfe8, argv=0x7fffffffcfd8, argc=1, l=<optimized out>)
- at dl-init.c:118
- @end example
- To address that, you install Inkscape linked against a variant GLib that
- contains debug info:
- @example
- guix install inkscape --with-debug-info=glib
- @end example
- This time, debugging will be a whole lot nicer:
- @example
- $ gdb --args sh -c 'exec inkscape'
- @dots{}
- (gdb) b g_getenv
- Function "g_getenv" not defined.
- Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
- Breakpoint 1 (g_getenv) pending.
- (gdb) r
- Starting program: /gnu/store/@dots{}-profile/bin/sh -c exec\ inkscape
- @dots{}
- (gdb) bt
- #0 g_getenv (variable=variable@@entry=0x7ffff60c7a2e "GOBJECT_DEBUG") at ../glib-2.62.6/glib/genviron.c:252
- #1 0x00007ffff608a7d6 in gobject_init () at ../glib-2.62.6/gobject/gtype.c:4380
- #2 gobject_init_ctor () at ../glib-2.62.6/gobject/gtype.c:4493
- #3 0x00007ffff7fe275a in call_init (l=<optimized out>, argc=argc@@entry=3, argv=argv@@entry=0x7fffffffd088,
- env=env@@entry=0x7fffffffd0a8) at dl-init.c:72
- @dots{}
- @end example
- Much better!
- Note that there can be packages for which @option{--with-debug-info}
- will not have the desired effect. @xref{Package Transformation Options,
- @option{--with-debug-info}}, for more information.
- @node Security Updates
- @chapter Security Updates
- @cindex security updates
- @cindex security vulnerabilities
- Occasionally, important security vulnerabilities are discovered in software
- packages and must be patched. Guix developers try hard to keep track of
- known vulnerabilities and to apply fixes as soon as possible in the
- @code{master} branch of Guix (we do not yet provide a ``stable'' branch
- containing only security updates). The @command{guix lint} tool helps
- developers find out about vulnerable versions of software packages in the
- distribution:
- @smallexample
- $ guix lint -c cve
- gnu/packages/base.scm:652:2: glibc@@2.21: probably vulnerable to CVE-2015-1781, CVE-2015-7547
- gnu/packages/gcc.scm:334:2: gcc@@4.9.3: probably vulnerable to CVE-2015-5276
- gnu/packages/image.scm:312:2: openjpeg@@2.1.0: probably vulnerable to CVE-2016-1923, CVE-2016-1924
- @dots{}
- @end smallexample
- @xref{Invoking guix lint}, for more information.
- Guix follows a functional
- package management discipline (@pxref{Introduction}), which implies
- that, when a package is changed, @emph{every package that depends on it}
- must be rebuilt. This can significantly slow down the deployment of
- fixes in core packages such as libc or Bash, since basically the whole
- distribution would need to be rebuilt. Using pre-built binaries helps
- (@pxref{Substitutes}), but deployment may still take more time than
- desired.
- @cindex grafts
- To address this, Guix implements @dfn{grafts}, a mechanism that allows
- for fast deployment of critical updates without the costs associated
- with a whole-distribution rebuild. The idea is to rebuild only the
- package that needs to be patched, and then to ``graft'' it onto packages
- explicitly installed by the user and that were previously referring to
- the original package. The cost of grafting is typically very low, and
- order of magnitudes lower than a full rebuild of the dependency chain.
- @cindex replacements of packages, for grafts
- For instance, suppose a security update needs to be applied to Bash.
- Guix developers will provide a package definition for the ``fixed''
- Bash, say @code{bash-fixed}, in the usual way (@pxref{Defining
- Packages}). Then, the original package definition is augmented with a
- @code{replacement} field pointing to the package containing the bug fix:
- @lisp
- (define bash
- (package
- (name "bash")
- ;; @dots{}
- (replacement bash-fixed)))
- @end lisp
- From there on, any package depending directly or indirectly on Bash---as
- reported by @command{guix gc --requisites} (@pxref{Invoking guix
- gc})---that is installed is automatically ``rewritten'' to refer to
- @code{bash-fixed} instead of @code{bash}. This grafting process takes
- time proportional to the size of the package, usually less than a
- minute for an ``average'' package on a recent machine. Grafting is
- recursive: when an indirect dependency requires grafting, then grafting
- ``propagates'' up to the package that the user is installing.
- Currently, the length of the name and version of the graft and that of
- the package it replaces (@code{bash-fixed} and @code{bash} in the example
- above) must be equal. This restriction mostly comes from the fact that
- grafting works by patching files, including binary files, directly.
- Other restrictions may apply: for instance, when adding a graft to a
- package providing a shared library, the original shared library and its
- replacement must have the same @code{SONAME} and be binary-compatible.
- The @option{--no-grafts} command-line option allows you to forcefully
- avoid grafting (@pxref{Common Build Options, @option{--no-grafts}}).
- Thus, the command:
- @example
- guix build bash --no-grafts
- @end example
- @noindent
- returns the store file name of the original Bash, whereas:
- @example
- guix build bash
- @end example
- @noindent
- returns the store file name of the ``fixed'', replacement Bash. This
- allows you to distinguish between the two variants of Bash.
- To verify which Bash your whole profile refers to, you can run
- (@pxref{Invoking guix gc}):
- @example
- guix gc -R `readlink -f ~/.guix-profile` | grep bash
- @end example
- @noindent
- @dots{} and compare the store file names that you get with those above.
- Likewise for a complete Guix system generation:
- @example
- guix gc -R `guix system build my-config.scm` | grep bash
- @end example
- Lastly, to check which Bash running processes are using, you can use the
- @command{lsof} command:
- @example
- lsof | grep /gnu/store/.*bash
- @end example
- @node Bootstrapping
- @chapter Bootstrapping
- @c Adapted from the ELS 2013 paper.
- @cindex bootstrapping
- Bootstrapping in our context refers to how the distribution gets built
- ``from nothing''. Remember that the build environment of a derivation
- contains nothing but its declared inputs (@pxref{Introduction}). So
- there's an obvious chicken-and-egg problem: how does the first package
- get built? How does the first compiler get compiled?
- It is tempting to think of this question as one that only die-hard
- hackers may care about. However, while the answer to that question is
- technical in nature, its implications are wide-ranging. How the
- distribution is bootstrapped defines the extent to which we, as
- individuals and as a collective of users and hackers, can trust the
- software we run. It is a central concern from the standpoint of
- @emph{security} and from a @emph{user freedom} viewpoint.
- @cindex bootstrap binaries
- The GNU system is primarily made of C code, with libc at its core. The
- GNU build system itself assumes the availability of a Bourne shell and
- command-line tools provided by GNU Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, `sed', and
- `grep'. Furthermore, build programs---programs that run
- @code{./configure}, @code{make}, etc.---are written in Guile Scheme
- (@pxref{Derivations}). Consequently, to be able to build anything at
- all, from scratch, Guix relies on pre-built binaries of Guile, GCC,
- Binutils, libc, and the other packages mentioned above---the
- @dfn{bootstrap binaries}.
- These bootstrap binaries are ``taken for granted'', though we can also
- re-create them if needed (@pxref{Preparing to Use the Bootstrap
- Binaries}).
- @menu
- * Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap:: A Bootstrap worthy of GNU.
- * Preparing to Use the Bootstrap Binaries:: Building that what matters most.
- @end menu
- @node Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap
- @section The Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap
- Guix---like other GNU/Linux distributions---is traditionally bootstrapped from
- a set of bootstrap binaries: Bourne shell, command-line tools provided by GNU
- Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, `sed', and `grep' and Guile, GCC, Binutils, and the
- GNU C Library (@pxref{Bootstrapping}). Usually, these bootstrap binaries are
- ``taken for granted.''
- Taking the bootstrap binaries for granted means that we consider them to
- be a correct and trustworthy ``seed'' for building the complete system.
- Therein lies a problem: the combined size of these bootstrap binaries is
- about 250MB (@pxref{Bootstrappable Builds,,, mes, GNU Mes}). Auditing
- or even inspecting these is next to impossible.
- For @code{i686-linux} and @code{x86_64-linux}, Guix now features a
- ``Reduced Binary Seed'' bootstrap @footnote{We would like to say: ``Full
- Source Bootstrap'' and while we are working towards that goal it would
- be hyperbole to use that term for what we do now.}.
- The Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap removes the most critical tools---from a
- trust perspective---from the bootstrap binaries: GCC, Binutils and the GNU C
- Library are replaced by: @code{bootstrap-mescc-tools} (a tiny assembler and
- linker) and @code{bootstrap-mes} (a small Scheme Interpreter and a C compiler
- written in Scheme and the Mes C Library, built for TinyCC and for GCC).
- Using these new binary seeds the ``missing'' Binutils, GCC, and the GNU
- C Library are built from source. From here on the more traditional
- bootstrap process resumes. This approach has reduced the bootstrap
- binaries in size to about 145MB in Guix v1.1.
- The next step that Guix has taken is to replace the shell and all its
- utilities with implementations in Guile Scheme, the @emph{Scheme-only
- bootstrap}. Gash (@pxref{Gash,,, gash, The Gash manual}) is a
- POSIX-compatible shell that replaces Bash, and it comes with Gash Utils
- which has minimalist replacements for Awk, the GNU Core Utilities, Grep,
- Gzip, Sed, and Tar. The rest of the bootstrap binary seeds that were
- removed are now built from source.
- Building the GNU System from source is currently only possibly by adding
- some historical GNU packages as intermediate steps@footnote{Packages
- such as @code{gcc-2.95.3}, @code{binutils-2.14}, @code{glibc-2.2.5},
- @code{gzip-1.2.4}, @code{tar-1.22}, and some others. For details, see
- @file{gnu/packages/commencement.scm}.}. As Gash and Gash Utils mature,
- and GNU packages become more bootstrappable again (e.g., new releases of
- GNU Sed will also ship as gzipped tarballs again, as alternative to the
- hard to bootstrap @code{xz}-compression), this set of added packages can
- hopefully be reduced again.
- The graph below shows the resulting dependency graph for
- @code{gcc-core-mesboot0}, the bootstrap compiler used for the
- traditional bootstrap of the rest of the Guix System.
- @c ./pre-inst-env guix graph -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc-core-mesboot0)' | sed -re 's,((bootstrap-mescc-tools|bootstrap-mes|guile-bootstrap).*shape =) box,\1 ellipse,' > doc/images/gcc-core-mesboot0-graph.dot
- @image{images/gcc-core-mesboot0-graph,6in,,Dependency graph of gcc-core-mesboot0}
- The only significant binary bootstrap seeds that remain@footnote{
- Ignoring the 68KB @code{mescc-tools}; that will be removed later,
- together with @code{mes}.} are a Scheme intepreter and a Scheme
- compiler: GNU Mes and GNU Guile@footnote{Not shown in this graph are the
- static binaries for @file{bash}, @code{tar}, and @code{xz} that are used
- to get Guile running.}.
- This further reduction has brought down the size of the binary seed to
- about 60MB for @code{i686-linux} and @code{x86_64-linux}.
- Work is ongoing to remove all binary blobs from our free software
- bootstrap stack, working towards a Full Source Bootstrap. Also ongoing
- is work to bring these bootstraps to the @code{arm-linux} and
- @code{aarch64-linux} architectures and to the Hurd.

- @c large image, it's hard to scroll. Oh well.
- @image{images/bootstrap-graph,6in,,Dependency graph of the early bootstrap derivations}
- The figure above shows the very beginning of the dependency graph of the
- distribution, corresponding to the package definitions of the @code{(gnu
- packages bootstrap)} module. A similar figure can be generated with
- @command{guix graph} (@pxref{Invoking guix graph}), along the lines of:
- @example
- guix graph -t derivation \
- -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages bootstrap) %bootstrap-gcc)' \
- | dot -Tps > gcc.ps
- @end example
- or, for the further Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap
- @example
- guix graph -t derivation \
- -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages bootstrap) %bootstrap-mes)' \
- | dot -Tps > mes.ps
- @end example
- At this level of detail, things are
- slightly complex. First, Guile itself consists of an ELF executable,
- along with many source and compiled Scheme files that are dynamically
- loaded when it runs. This gets stored in the @file{guile-2.0.7.tar.xz}
- tarball shown in this graph. This tarball is part of Guix's ``source''
- distribution, and gets inserted into the store with @code{add-to-store}
- (@pxref{The Store}).
- But how do we write a derivation that unpacks this tarball and adds it
- to the store? To solve this problem, the @code{guile-bootstrap-2.0.drv}
- derivation---the first one that gets built---uses @code{bash} as its
- builder, which runs @code{build-bootstrap-guile.sh}, which in turn calls
- @code{tar} to unpack the tarball. Thus, @file{bash}, @file{tar},
- @file{xz}, and @file{mkdir} are statically-linked binaries, also part of
- the Guix source distribution, whose sole purpose is to allow the Guile
- tarball to be unpacked.
- Once @code{guile-bootstrap-2.0.drv} is built, we have a functioning
- Guile that can be used to run subsequent build programs. Its first task
- is to download tarballs containing the other pre-built binaries---this
- is what the @file{.tar.xz.drv} derivations do. Guix modules such as
- @code{ftp-client.scm} are used for this purpose. The
- @code{module-import.drv} derivations import those modules in a directory
- in the store, using the original layout. The
- @code{module-import-compiled.drv} derivations compile those modules, and
- write them in an output directory with the right layout. This
- corresponds to the @code{#:modules} argument of
- @code{build-expression->derivation} (@pxref{Derivations}).
- Finally, the various tarballs are unpacked by the derivations
- @code{gcc-bootstrap-0.drv}, @code{glibc-bootstrap-0.drv}, or
- @code{bootstrap-mes-0.drv} and @code{bootstrap-mescc-tools-0.drv}, at which
- point we have a working C tool chain.
- @unnumberedsec Building the Build Tools
- Bootstrapping is complete when we have a full tool chain that does not
- depend on the pre-built bootstrap tools discussed above. This
- no-dependency requirement is verified by checking whether the files of
- the final tool chain contain references to the @file{/gnu/store}
- directories of the bootstrap inputs. The process that leads to this
- ``final'' tool chain is described by the package definitions found in
- the @code{(gnu packages commencement)} module.
- The @command{guix graph} command allows us to ``zoom out'' compared to
- the graph above, by looking at the level of package objects instead of
- individual derivations---remember that a package may translate to
- several derivations, typically one derivation to download its source,
- one to build the Guile modules it needs, and one to actually build the
- package from source. The command:
- @example
- guix graph -t bag \
- -e '(@@@@ (gnu packages commencement)
- glibc-final-with-bootstrap-bash)' | xdot -
- @end example
- @noindent
- displays the dependency graph leading to the ``final'' C
- library@footnote{You may notice the @code{glibc-intermediate} label,
- suggesting that it is not @emph{quite} final, but as a good
- approximation, we will consider it final.}, depicted below.
- @image{images/bootstrap-packages,6in,,Dependency graph of the early packages}
- @c See <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-system-discuss/2012-10/msg00000.html>.
- The first tool that gets built with the bootstrap binaries is
- GNU@tie{}Make---noted @code{make-boot0} above---which is a prerequisite
- for all the following packages. From there Findutils and Diffutils get
- built.
- Then come the first-stage Binutils and GCC, built as pseudo cross
- tools---i.e., with @option{--target} equal to @option{--host}. They are
- used to build libc. Thanks to this cross-build trick, this libc is
- guaranteed not to hold any reference to the initial tool chain.
- From there the final Binutils and GCC (not shown above) are built. GCC
- uses @command{ld} from the final Binutils, and links programs against
- the just-built libc. This tool chain is used to build the other
- packages used by Guix and by the GNU Build System: Guile, Bash,
- Coreutils, etc.
- And voilà! At this point we have the complete set of build tools that
- the GNU Build System expects. These are in the @code{%final-inputs}
- variable of the @code{(gnu packages commencement)} module, and are
- implicitly used by any package that uses @code{gnu-build-system}
- (@pxref{Build Systems, @code{gnu-build-system}}).
- @unnumberedsec Building the Bootstrap Binaries
- @cindex bootstrap binaries
- Because the final tool chain does not depend on the bootstrap binaries,
- those rarely need to be updated. Nevertheless, it is useful to have an
- automated way to produce them, should an update occur, and this is what
- the @code{(gnu packages make-bootstrap)} module provides.
- The following command builds the tarballs containing the bootstrap binaries
- (Binutils, GCC, glibc, for the traditional bootstrap and linux-libre-headers,
- bootstrap-mescc-tools, bootstrap-mes for the Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap,
- and Guile, and a tarball containing a mixture of Coreutils and other basic
- command-line tools):
- @example
- guix build bootstrap-tarballs
- @end example
- The generated tarballs are those that should be referred to in the
- @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} module mentioned at the beginning of
- this section.
- Still here? Then perhaps by now you've started to wonder: when do we
- reach a fixed point? That is an interesting question! The answer is
- unknown, but if you would like to investigate further (and have
- significant computational and storage resources to do so), then let us
- know.
- @unnumberedsec Reducing the Set of Bootstrap Binaries
- Our traditional bootstrap includes GCC, GNU Libc, Guile, etc. That's a lot of
- binary code! Why is that a problem? It's a problem because these big chunks
- of binary code are practically non-auditable, which makes it hard to establish
- what source code produced them. Every unauditable binary also leaves us
- vulnerable to compiler backdoors as described by Ken Thompson in the 1984
- paper @emph{Reflections on Trusting Trust}.
- This is mitigated by the fact that our bootstrap binaries were generated
- from an earlier Guix revision. Nevertheless it lacks the level of
- transparency that we get in the rest of the package dependency graph,
- where Guix always gives us a source-to-binary mapping. Thus, our goal
- is to reduce the set of bootstrap binaries to the bare minimum.
- The @uref{https://bootstrappable.org, Bootstrappable.org web site} lists
- on-going projects to do that. One of these is about replacing the
- bootstrap GCC with a sequence of assemblers, interpreters, and compilers
- of increasing complexity, which could be built from source starting from
- a simple and auditable assembler.
- Our first major achievement is the replacement of of GCC, the GNU C Library
- and Binutils by MesCC-Tools (a simple hex linker and macro assembler) and Mes
- (@pxref{Top, GNU Mes Reference Manual,, mes, GNU Mes}, a Scheme interpreter
- and C compiler in Scheme). Neither MesCC-Tools nor Mes can be fully
- bootstrapped yet and thus we inject them as binary seeds. We call this the
- Reduced Binary Seed bootstrap, as it has halved the size of our bootstrap
- binaries! Also, it has eliminated the C compiler binary; i686-linux and
- x86_64-linux Guix packages are now bootstrapped without any binary C compiler.
- Work is ongoing to make MesCC-Tools and Mes fully bootstrappable and we are
- also looking at any other bootstrap binaries. Your help is welcome!
- @node Porting
- @chapter Porting to a New Platform
- As discussed above, the GNU distribution is self-contained, and
- self-containment is achieved by relying on pre-built ``bootstrap
- binaries'' (@pxref{Bootstrapping}). These binaries are specific to an
- operating system kernel, CPU architecture, and application binary
- interface (ABI). Thus, to port the distribution to a platform that is
- not yet supported, one must build those bootstrap binaries, and update
- the @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} module to use them on that platform.
- Fortunately, Guix can @emph{cross compile} those bootstrap binaries.
- When everything goes well, and assuming the GNU tool chain supports the
- target platform, this can be as simple as running a command like this
- one:
- @example
- guix build --target=armv5tel-linux-gnueabi bootstrap-tarballs
- @end example
- For this to work, the @code{glibc-dynamic-linker} procedure in
- @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} must be augmented to return the right
- file name for libc's dynamic linker on that platform; likewise,
- @code{system->linux-architecture} in @code{(gnu packages linux)} must be
- taught about the new platform.
- Once these are built, the @code{(gnu packages bootstrap)} module needs
- to be updated to refer to these binaries on the target platform. That
- is, the hashes and URLs of the bootstrap tarballs for the new platform
- must be added alongside those of the currently supported platforms. The
- bootstrap Guile tarball is treated specially: it is expected to be
- available locally, and @file{gnu/local.mk} has rules to download it for
- the supported architectures; a rule for the new platform must be added
- as well.
- In practice, there may be some complications. First, it may be that the
- extended GNU triplet that specifies an ABI (like the @code{eabi} suffix
- above) is not recognized by all the GNU tools. Typically, glibc
- recognizes some of these, whereas GCC uses an extra @option{--with-abi}
- configure flag (see @code{gcc.scm} for examples of how to handle this).
- Second, some of the required packages could fail to build for that
- platform. Lastly, the generated binaries could be broken for some
- reason.
