That was it, I had forgotten to import the public key!

By the way, it's

--8<---cut here---start->8---
sudo guix archive --authorize < /path/to/public/key
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

not `--import` :)

I didn't enable caching so the compression should happen on the fly.

I haven't but I want to use `guix publish` since it provides a more
automated, smoother experience.

Problem solved, thanks!

did you transfer the public key to your other machine and run 'sudo guix
archive --import < /path/to/public/key'?

I wasn't sure about needing to specify more flags with 'sudo guix
publish' but it looks like it was correct.

Try giving it a few minutes to "bake" the substitute and then serve it.
It needs to re-compress it to make transfers (at a large scale) more
economical.

Doesn't address the substitute/publish problem, but have you tried using
guix copy to copy it over?
