this would be a nice feature!
we still couldn't have isolated network interfaces per container but
it's a very useful feature

having declaratively managed "guix system container"s [1] is great but
they are not so useful without networking, or am I missing some
important use case here?

I've looked at it but AFAIU your patch
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28128#8 is still to be
reworked https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28128#14

sorry but I'm still not able to test and adapt it to Guix, I cannot help
here

Thanks!

[1] although I still miss the possibility to nest a container/VM
<operating-system> declaration in the host configuration.scm... but we
can work it out
