So my server that runs https://gnucode.me is a guix system linode server!=
=C2=A0 Woo
hoo!

Well lately the server is being a right pain, and it refuses to update.  Mo=
st
likely my server is lonely and just wants a hug.

#+END_SRC

I have used guix deploy in the past to update my linode server, which works
super awesomely well! But lately, guix deploy no longer updates my linode
server.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
joshua@laptopT400 $ guix deploy gnucode.me-current-config.scm -x -- sudo he=
rd restart nginx
guix deploy: sending 12 store items (133 MiB) to '45.56.66.20'...
guix deploy: copertino: command succeeded
guix deploy: command output on copertino:
Service user-homes has been started.
Service nginx has been started.
#+END_SRC

Let's see if gnucode.me has been updated:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
joshua@HIDDEN $ guix describe
                    Aug 2023  # (the same date as before)
joshua@HIDDEN $ guix system describe
                    Aug 2023  # (the same date as before)
#+END_SRC

/run/current-system/configuration.scm is the old configuration and not the =
new
one. What gives?

So it appears that guix deploy is not updating my server. That's annoying. =
 I've
been guix deploying my server happily for a while now, and I didn't even re=
alize
that the server was failing to update.

Well, I had a similar issue, where my laptop was really outdated...guix pul=
l was
failing. To update my laptop I built guix from source. I described that her=
e:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68760

Well, since guix deploy fails to update my linode server, I tried running g=
uix
pull: First I powered down the linode and updated the vm so that it had 4GB=
 of
RAM.

Then at 2pm today, I ran guix pull.  It started building stuff, and I let i=
t sit.

Hmmm, that is really odd.

So let's try to update my linode server by building it from source eh? Sinc=
e my
linode server only has 1 GB of RAM, I temporarily updated it to 4GB of RAM.

joshua@HIDDEN $ guix gc && guix shell --pure --check -D guix

That above command took 4 hours to complete. Guix shell took forever to bui=
ld stuff. I saw some odd stuff that was getting built.=C2=A0 :(

./ bootstrap=C2=A0=C2=A0 -> worked

./configure=C2=A0=C2=A0 -> failed with:

configure: error: Git is missing; please install it.

I do have git installed on my server, but the "--pure" command blocked that.

So let's try doing what the manual actually says to do:

guix shell -D guix -CPW

./configure

checking for xz... /home/joshua/.guix-profile/bin/xz

checking for git... no

configure: error: Git is missing; please install it.

Ok, let's abide by the manual a little more and add in these helpful additi=
onal packages.

guix shell -D guix help2man git strace -CPW

./configure

make

sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure ../guix-config/linode-guix-s=
ystem-configuration/gnucode.me-current-config.scm

The above command failed a few times, because I had to tweak the gnucode.me=
-current-config.scm file. First I had to change dovecot-service to dovecot-=
service-type. Then I had to get rid of the deploy stuff in the file. Then I=
 was able to rerun the command and it worked:

sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure ../guix-config/linode-guix-s=
ystem-configuration/gnucode.me-current-config.scm

This command also took a LONG time!  It was building glibc-mesboot0, and ot=
her very low level stuff.

Someone on irc said that I should take a look at what guix weather said

joshua@HIDDEN $ guix weather

I'm pretty sure that didn't work... but let's check guix weather again to s=

Hopefully I will update the server soon.  Any thoughts?
