To build an image you will also need at least id_ed25519.pub and
signing-key.pub:
- id_ed25519.pub can be genreated with the ssh-keygen -t ed25519
command. See the ssh-keygen manual ('man 1 ssh-keygen') for more
details. If you're not confortable with that, backup your ~/.ssh
folder first.
- signing-key.pub can be generated with the 'guix archive
--generate-key' command. See the "Invoking guix archive" in the
Guix manual for more details[1].

Other files are optional:
- id_ed25519: It is used for guix deploy. It is also generated by
ssh-keygen. A good idea is to have a symlink to it in order not to
have scp copy it to the target machine by mistake as it is the SSH
private key. Using separate SSH keys for separate machines also help
limiting the damage when such accident happen.
- id_wireguard: This is the wireguard private key. It can be generated
with the 'wg genkey > id_wireguard' command. See the wg manual ('man
8 wg') for more detail.
