Subject: `guix pull` failure in multi-machine setup
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 14:33:18 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I’m using guix on a multi-machine setup with a single remote guix-daemon that
can be reached via SSH. Thus GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://master.<domain> on the
compute nodes. Running `guix pull` on master works fine (the variable is not
set here), but it does not on a compute node. Instead it fails with this error:

Obviously the socket on that compute machine is not working, because it’s on an
NFS share /var/guix belonging to master. But why is the socket considered in
the first place?

Cheers,
Lars
