This is a proof-of-concept. These are the necessary Packer and Shell files to create custom Guix images for AWS.

You can get packer at packer.io.

You need a valid AWS configuration that packer can find. If you can run aws commands you should be fine.

packer build guix-base.json

This will finish with a message that includes the generated AMI ID.

Spawn an instance and login as alyssa with the SSH key you defined on the AWS console.

• Build time is around 15 minutes on t2.small, which is slow but ok.
