What

Build a GNU Guix managed cluster that uses the Arvados environment

How

The base software installation is Debian Wheezy with backports. Otherwise, every tool installed on the cluster will be deployed using GNU Guix, probably inside KVM containers. The idea is that this a 'throwaway' setup so everything should be rebuilt on the fly using Guix expressions.

Progress

Milestones

  • The machines are up and running with thanks to Theo and Joep (Dec 2015)

Next steps

  • Tighten up ssh server and provide an external login
