Hi Jakob, Nice that you’re working on Digital Ocean support! zerodaysfordays@sdf.lonestar.org (Jakob L. Kreuze) skribis: > 'deploy-digital-ocean' gets to a point where there's a droplet running a > "bootstrap" configuration of the Guix System, but I can't keep an open > SSH channel for sending over the operating-system configuration > specified for the deployment.

That would allow us to see if there’s something wrong with SSH. Hmm now that I think about it, ‘send-files’ may be failing because the (guix …) modules aren’t in GUILE_LOAD_PATH on the remote side. On the berlin build machines, we have this: (simple-service 'guile-load-path-in-global-env session-environment-service-type `(("GUILE_LOAD_PATH" . "/run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/2.2") ("GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH" . ,(string-append "/run/current-system/profile/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache:" "/run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/2.2")))) It’s ridiculous that we have to do this, but that’s how it is. Can you try that? HTH, Ludo’.
