 @subsection Guix Services
 
+@subsubheading Guix Build Coordinator
+The @uref{https://git.cbaines.net/guix/build-coordinator/,Guix Build
+Coordinator} aids in building derivations.  The Guix Daemon is still
+used to build the derivations, but the Guix Build Coordinator provides
+ways of performing builds across many machines and working with the
+results of builds.
+
+There is a script to run the coordinator component of the Guix Build
+Coordinator, but the Guix service uses a custom Guile script instead, to
+provide better integration with G-expressions used in the configuration.
+
+@defvar {Scheme Variable} guix-build-coordinator-service-type
+Service type for the Guix Build Coordinator.  Its value must be a
+@code{guix-build-coordinator-configuration} object.
+@end defvar
+
+@deftp {Data Type} guix-build-coordinator-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration of the Guix Build Coordinator.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{package} (default: @code{guix-build-coordinator})
+The Guix Build Coordinator package to use.
+
+@item @code{user} (default: @code{"guix-build-coordinator"})
+The system user to run the service as.
+
+@item @code{group} (default: @code{"guix-build-coordinator"})
+The system group to run the service as.
+
+@item @code{database-uri-string} (default: @code{"sqlite:///var/lib/guix-build-coordinator/guix_build_coordinator.db"})
+The URI to use for the database.
+
+@item @code{agent-communication-uri} (default: @code{"http://0.0.0.0:8745"})
+The URI describing how to listen to requests from agent processes.
+
+@item @code{client-communication-uri} (default: @code{"http://127.0.0.1:8746"})
+The URI describing how to listen to requests from clients.  The client
+API allows submitting builds and currently isn't authenticated, so take
+care when configuring this value.
+
+@item @code{allocation-strategy} (default: @code{#~basic-build-allocation-strategy})
+A G-expression for the allocation strategy to be used.  This is a
+procedure that takes the datastore as an argument and populates the
+allocation plan in the database.
+
+@item @code{hooks} (default: @var{'()})
+An association list of hooks.  These provide a way to execute arbitrary
+code upon certian events, like a build result being processed.
+
+@item @code{guile} (default: @code{guile-3.0-latest})
+The Guile package with which to run the Guix Build Coordinator.
