Increase the installer RAM amount to 8GiB.
With 4GiB guix pull fails. With 8GiB 'df -h /' returns the following: none 3.9G 1.6G 2.4G 40% / so if we don't change the ramfs mount options it is pretty clear that 4GiB is not enough. The issue here is that we are trying to do an install with the following constraints: - It needs to work without external access to the underlying storage. For instance I cannot become root and simply copy the image to the correct location and boot that because I lack the permissions but also because the machine doesn't have Guix. - I also want the target rootfs to be up to date (especially with security updates) from the start. - It needs to be relatively fast and not consume too much resources. - It also needs to be relatively easy to deploy. Using the guix installer to install Guix is the easiest as it works out of the box with a read-only install media, but it also comes with resources costs as the files being created end up in RAM.
