system: Reinstate lock-mounts work around for system containers.

2025-12-16T08:32:07+00:00

The underlying problem for system containers still hasn't been
solved, the part of issue 78356 that has been solved is only
home containers.

This reverts commit cbc35fd9aa08a6da9df1ce8463779ad7decaf12a.
This is a work around for #4788 (previously https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78356).

linux-container: ‘containerized-operating-system’ provides ‘loopback’ service.

2025-06-04T15:01:23+00:00

Fixes #420.

Previously, in systems produced by ‘guix system container’, the
‘loopback’ Shepherd service would fail to start with EEXIST, because the
“lo” interface already exists in the container.  This commit provides a
fake ‘loopback’ Shepherd service that does nothing.

* gnu/system/linux-container.scm (dummy-networking-service-type): Change
to honor its configuration value.
(containerized-operating-system)[services-to-drop]: Add
‘static-networking-service-type’ in the non-‘shared-network?’ case.
[services-to-add]: Add ‘dummy-networking-service-type’ for loopback in
the non-‘shared-network?’ case.
