* README.org: It was discovered that the wrong disk was referenced in the README!
Its worth noting that this documentation error does not impact the configuration of balg02,
as it doesn't directly reference the disk its being installed to, but instead references
where /boot/efi is located (which is setup as part preparing for the guix installation by
mounting guix's esp partition to /mnt/boot/efi) as well as references to partitions by label.
Also noteworthy is that this documentation error does not impact the Manual Testing of
bootstrapping Guix from a Debian VM, which still quiet closely mimics balg02.
* README.org: Completed/removed TODOs. Filled in section "Bootstrap Guix". Added section on
manually testing bootstrapping guix from debian in a VM. Corrected typo/oversight when
creating swapfile.
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: New function: balg02; this is necessary as the efi
partition UUID changes between testing and the deployed system. Additionally, mount the efi
partition.
Its useful to note that when testing, I found a bug in guix that resulting in a partial
system upgrade! Namely, grub/kernel stuff appears to have been updated, but the `guix system
reconfigure ...` never completed. This was because the efi system partition was not mounted.
However the odd part was that even if I manually mounted the efi partition and retried `guix
system reconfigure ..` the command update would still hang. I suspect this is because for
some reason the efi system partition must be explicitly specified in the operating-system configuration.
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm (guix-na): Add function balg02 which parameterized the disk
that the bootloader (grub) is installed to. This enables testing in a vm where the disk may
not match what is used on the physical server.
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: Move swap-devices to be after file-systems (file-systems
is referenced from within swap-devices). Other changes are just noop reformatting.
In order to ease distribution of the various machine configurations defined within this
repository, make this repository an authenticated Guix channel.
* .guix-authorizations: Add a single authorized key to start
* .guix-channel: Set various channel details
* news.txt: Provide an initial news item
* .gitignore: Ignore files used by 'guix deploy'
* .guix/guix-na/config/balg02.scm: Initial balg02 guix configuration (sans cuirass)
* .pubkeys/collin.pub: Public key of Collin Doering
* .pubkeys/deploy-key.pub: Public key used for 'guix deploy' usage
* README.org: Various updates to how balg02 (guix-north-america) is setup
* .gitignore: Ignore emacs backup files
* README.org: Add preliminary plan, with a few more details
* balg02.scm: Placeholder file that will become guix operating-system configuration for balg02
