We had been using this at work as part of a much bigger training
platform to launch customizable (but still reproducible) interactive
environments for workshops and courses.
An example is pre-configured RStudio installations with shared course
materials. With guix.install (provided by r-guix-install) participants
could install any Guix packages from within their running R session. We
also provided a web interface to customize the environment ahead of
time, and to save/restore the container root fs.
> Any plans/interest in hooking it into `guix deploy`?
Plans no, but interest yes!
