Can you run `guix deploy` on other linux distributions?

Question

Guix can be run on other linux distributions. But can guix deploy provision machines running debian? I think nixops requires machines to use nixos.

Answer 1

You can't , the command guix deploy is used to manage only a guix system (GuixSD).

Syntax:

guix deploy file

The file is the configuration system file (operating system declaration).
