Okay, after playing with this some more using a clean account all seems to work fine. Apparently there was some weird interaction with my current shepherd-service setup interacted. Greetings, Janneke

I am! :-) Possible reasons not all the services described there made it into Guix Home: (1) needs vary :-), (2) it’s possible to migrate incrementally, with some things handled with Home while others are still managed “the old way” (that’s what I do), and (3) rde is kinda “competing” with Home by providing a whole bunch of services, giving less of an incentive to migrate them (it’s an unfortunate issue we identified at the time Home got merged). But with contributions like these, the situation will improve! > Anyway, here's my attempt to address this, adding ssh-agent, git-daemon, and > also the probably less-used kodi and znc that I use on my home server. Nice. Ludo’.

Ouch, why that's...terrible? Is there any reason stuff is not contributed "up stream"? ;) > But with contributions like these, the situation will improve! Yay! Let's go for that, then.

From: "Janneke Nieuwenhuizen" <janneke@gnu.org> Hi! I've been waiting for Guix Home to offer some basic shepherd services for most used daemons, replacing the neat shepherd hack described in https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/gnu-shepherd-user-services/ that I've been using, and am a bit puzzled as to why this didn't happen. Are people using Guix Home? Anyway, here's my attempt to address this, adding ssh-agent, git-daemon, and also the probably less-used kodi and znc that I use on my home server. To add a git-daemon and ssh-agent to your guix home profile, you need a home-configuration.scm that has something like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (use-modules (gnu home) (gnu home services shells) (gnu home services shepherd) (gnu home services shepherd-xyz) (gnu packages) (gnu packages base) (gnu services) (guix gexp)) (services (list (service home-shepherd-service-type) (service home-git-daemon-service-type) (service home-ssh-agent-service-type))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The weird thing is that after running ./pre-inst-env guix home reconfigure home-configuration.scm the shepherd starts automatically, starting ssh-agent and git-daemon. Upon a fresh login, however, it seems the shepherd must still be started manually, kind of defeating its purpose as a home service... Thoughts?
