I’m not sure if this is the right term to use, but in Nix, there’s a shell.nix file to access the shell in an isolated, pure environment. I have a repository, basically a web app that uses NodeJS. I want to be able to invoke a new shell using guix shell. What is the similar equivalent in Guix? Is it guix.scm or manifest.scm?

    I’m talking about this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/258489. This issue has still not been resolved.

    If you just need a simple local DB to distribute with your app, isn’t sqlite the best?

    I also want to deploy them, so SQLite isn’t ideal in that case. Honestly, I’m in favor of FerretDB, now that I’ve realized how convenient it is as a MongoDB-compatible replacement.
