Hi there, I am trying to follow this instruction [[info:guix#Daemon
Offload Setup][guix#Daemon Offload Setup]] with guix
6086e6ed1a038793e358becddded50d97593f691 on the host and build machine
to set up a offload build machine, and I end up with the error below.

~ $ guix offload test
guix offload: testing 1 build machines defined in '/etc/guix/machines.scm'...
guix offload: Guix is usable on 'build-machine' (test returned "/gnu/store/883yjkl46dxw9mzykykmbs0yzwyxm17z-test")
guix offload: 'build-machine' is running GNU Guile 3.0.5
guix offload: sending 1 store item (0 MiB) to 'build-machine'...
exporting path `/gnu/store/hqisv30c33ka8xascqh2x0lyqd0bp6z4-export-test'
guix offload: error: corrupt input while restoring archive from
#<closed: file 7f68866bf770>

Side note I tried testing if I could export manually to said build-machine,
which worked with out any problems.

~ $ guix archive --export -r emacs | ssh build-machine guix archive --import

and same goes for =guix offload status= which work fine as well.

Does /etc/guix/signing-key.{pub,sec} exist on both machines?

You can generate it with ‘guix archive’ (info "(guix) Invoking guix
archive").

HTH,

Hello Ludo,

Yes, the files are generated by

   #+begin_example
sudo guix archieve --generate-key
   #+end_example
   
  /etc/guix/signing-key.pub
  /etc/guix/signing-key.sec

and send the =signing-key.pub= to the build machine.

#+begin_src shell
sudo guix archieve --authorize< master/build.txt
#+end_src

both ways master <-> build

Kindly let me know If am I missing something here obvious?

Thanks

OK, so /etc/guix/acl exists on both machines, right?

Could you attach strace to sshd on the build machine:

  sudo strace -p $(pidof sshd) -f -o /tmp/sshd.log -s 500

and then run this on the head machine:

  sudo guix offload test

?

Looking at /tmp/sshd.log starting from the end might reveal an error
that occurs on the build machine.

You can share (part of) /tmp/sshd.log with me, but note that it may
contain sensitive material such as SSH secret keys or passwords.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Now we know!  ‘guix-daemon’ hit the assertion failure above, which is a
bug.  That happens because while talking to the ‘guix authenticate’
subprocess, said process emits that warning:

  /gnu/store/…/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: …

and guix-daemon reads the leading “/” and explodes, somehow.

However, it seems you’re running guix-daemon from Guix 1.2.0,
which is quite old, and chances are that the bug you hit has long been
fixed.

Could you try upgrading guix-daemon?

Thanks,
