Even simpler, I've now created a Guix channel for our work-in-progress
MediaGoblin package/service. See the README for instructions on enabling
the channel and installing MediaGoblin:

https://gitlab.com/BenSturmfels/mediagoblin-guix/-/blob/master/README.md

Once the channel is enabled, you can `guix install mediagoblin` and run
`gmg` commands and the web interface. All documented in the above README.
