Hi,

Rutherther <rutherther <at> ditigal.xyz> skribis:

What’s weird is that this seems to happen even before activation.

I cannot audit the whole thing but apparently something in the config
tries to connect to the outside:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<x home container -L home/modules home/home-configuration.scm                        
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-mirror'...
guix home: error: failed to load 'home/home-configuration.scm':
web/client.scm:338:10: In procedure open-socket-for-uri:
In procedure getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Probably use of ‘current-guix’?

Anyway, do you think you could boil it down to a minimal reproducer?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
