This is fairly tangential and probably overkill, but I use Ganeti[0]
with "ganeti-instance-guix"[1]. That will copy each `guix system vm` to
the configured storage backend, so store items can be garbage collected.
Updating can be done with `gnt-instance reinstall vm-name`.
Ganeti is a distributed virtual machine management system à la Openstack
(though much simpler, and less buggy), but works great on a single host.
