Hi Guix!
I've tried running a redis server in a container,
and interact with it from outside the container as
such:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix environment --ad-hoc --container redis coreutils
Thereby, when I get the PID of the above running
process, I expect that:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix container PID redis-server --version
to be the redis version from the container which
is *6.2.4*. However, the command gets the
underlying redis-server from the host-- an old
Debian distribution-- which is at *3.2.6*.
In a bid to troubleshoot this, I have tried
running:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix container PID /bin/sh
which returns a shell from /outside/ the
container. Also, I have tried:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix environment --ad-hoc --container --link-profile
outside the $HOME directory, and then later:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix container PID echo $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT
with the expectation that $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT will
output some path from the store. However, I get
nothing. Finally, I tried:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix container exec PID ps aux
to gain perspective of whether I see the processes
from the host's or container's perspective. That
command, at least on my end, clearly shows that I
am seeing things from the host's perspective. This
demonstrates that *guix container* as described in
doesn't not execute from the container; and as
such is a bug.
