Re: Not sure how to add an offload server

[Simen Endsjø]

My config doesn't show any trace of /usr/local:

    $ grep --context=3 \
            %sysconfdir \
            "$(dirname $(realpath 
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix-daemon))/../share/guile/site/3.0/guix/config.scm"
    
                %storedir
                %localstatedir
                %sysconfdir
    
                %store-directory
                %state-directory
    --
    (define %localstatedir
      "/var")
    
    (define %sysconfdir
      "/etc")
    
    (define %store-directory
    --
    (define %config-directory
      ;; This must match `GUIX_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY' as defined in 
`nix/local.mk'.
      (or (getenv "GUIX_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY")
          (string-append %sysconfdir "/guix")))
    
    (define %system
      "x86_64-linux")

      
I'm unable to rebuild the system using this method as it looks like my channels
is not loaded, giving me
        no code for module (sijo packages foobar)
