System Crafters Guix Live Image

This repository runs automated CI builds to produce a GNU Guix live image based on the official live VM configuration.

You may take a look at the image configuration and the build workflow to be sure that we aren't adding anything malicious to these builds!

A new .qcow2 image is produced at least once a week, sometimes more often if we're making improvements to the configuration.
