   @nee I think there was some talk about making the installer be based on a standard ISO, but I haven't looked lately.

   I got https://test.activitypub.rocks/ up and running by converting a Debian server to GuixSD in-place though... lol.

     @cwebber @nee You took a running Debian and just ran `guix system init` on it?

     I got it running now!
     The problem with the missing drives was the SCSI driver. I switched to SATA drivers and now everything is found.

     This is how I did it now:
     1. Installed a minimal Ubuntu image offered by the hoster
     2. installed guix binary
     3. ran guix pull
     4. ran `guix system init config.scm /` and rebooted
     5. ran `rm -rf /etc/` from a rescue disk, because guix tries to symlink stuff there on boot and failed because old ubuntu files already existed.

     @nee Awesome.
     
     Minor observation: "nixbld@" not "guixbuild@"? I guess the hydra servers were set up a long time ago, or there is some un-indeterminizer script that still uses the "nixbld" string. :-)
