The (oddly named) procedure “guix-infect” in (gnu machine digital-ocean)contains a Bash script that installs Guix 1.0.1 and sets theGUILE_LOAD_PATH to that of Guile 2.2.
Likewise, “add-static-networking” in the same module setsGUILE_LOAD_PATH to 2.2.
It seems to me that this should be updated to install the latest versionof Guix and set the load path to that of Guile 3.0.
I also wonder if there might not be a better way to deploy Guix quickly,for example by using a relocatable pack of Guix and using “guix copy”instead of executing a shell script.

I think that building a Guix System image and creating a droplet out ofit using the DigitalOcean API, as I described here[1] would be a bettersolution.
Thanks,

Yes, this seems better than installing Guix on an existing system (whichcosts time and possibly expensive bandwidth), and to replace the runningsystem with it.
FWIW, I wrote Guile AWS[1], which may be useful for doing the same withAWS as a backend.
