I didn't get the last reply for some reason, only saw it on the issue
tracker. Would be nice if i could import it somehow, but the issue
tracker GUI doesn't seem to have an option for that.
In any case, thanks for the feedback! ^u^

Attached is an improved patch list.

I'm pretty sure I incorporated all feedback, except for the guile-json
part. I have no idea how it'd pose any issue in practice and if it
does, that seems like a deeper design issue. Reimplementing JSON
encoding because Guix can't find its libraries doesn't seem like the
right solution in any scenario.

The docs were indeed lacking, I added a more information and fixed some
plain badly written parts.

The solution to the socket ownership issue turned out to be much
simpler: Shepherd has a #:group option.

One issue I encountered while guix lint-ing the packages is that it and
refresh could both identify what the new release is but refresh
--update seemingly never worked. Not sure what's up with that.

+@defvr {Scheme Variable} yggdrasil-service-type
+The service type for connecting to the @uref{https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/, Yggdrasil network}, an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network.
+
+@quotation
+Yggdrasil provides name-independent routing with cryptographically generated addresses. Static addressing means you can keep the same address as long as you want, even if you move to a new location, or generate a new address (by generating new keys) whenever you want.
+@uref{https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/2018/07/28/addressing.html}
+@end quotation
+
+Pass it a value of @code{yggdrasil-configuration} to connect it to public peers and/or local peers.
+
+Here is an example using public peers and a static address. The static signing and encryption keys are defined in @file{/etc/yggdrasil-private.conf} (the default value for @code{config-file}).
+
+@lisp
+;; part of the operating-system declaration
+(service yggdrasil-service-type
+              (yggdrasil-configuration
+               (autoconf? #f) ;; use only the public peers
+               (json-config
+               ;; choose one from
+               ;; https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/public-peers
+                '((peers . #("tcp://1.2.3.4:1337"))))
+               ;; /etc/yggdrasil-private.conf is the default value for config-file
+               ))
+@end lisp
+@example
+# sample content for /etc/yggdrasil-private.conf
+@{
+  # Your public encryption key. Your peers may ask you for this to put
+  # into their AllowedEncryptionPublicKeys configuration.
+  EncryptionPublicKey: 378dc5...
+
+  # Your private encryption key. DO NOT share this with anyone!
+  EncryptionPrivateKey: 0777...
+
+  # Your public signing key. You should not ordinarily need to share
+  # this with anyone.

+@}
+@end example
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} yggdrasil-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration of Yggdrasil.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{package} (default: @code{yggdrasil})
+Package object of Yggdrasil.
+
+@item @code{json-config} (default: @code{'()})
+Contents of @file{/etc/yggdrasil.conf}. Will be merged with @file{/etc/yggdrasil-private.conf}.
+Note that these settings are stored in the Guix store, which is readable to all users. @strong{Do not store your private keys in it.}
+See the output of @code{yggdrasil -genconf} for a quick overview of valid keys and their default values.
+
+@item @code{autoconf?} (default: @code{#f})
+Whether to use automatic mode. Enabling it makes Yggdrasil use adynamic IP and peer with IPv6 neighbors.
+
+@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{'info})
+How much detail to include in logs. Use @code{'debug} for more detail.
+
+@item @code{log-to} (default: @code{'stdout})
+Where to send logs. By default, the service logs standard output to @file{/var/log/yggdrasil.log}.
+The alternative is @code{'syslog}, which sends output to the running syslog service.
+
+@item @code{config-file} (default: @code{"/etc/yggdrasil-private.conf"})
+What HJSON file to load sensitive data from. This is where private keys should be stored, which are necessary to specify if you don't want a randomized address after each restart.
+Use @code{#f} to disable.
+Options defined in this file take precedence over @code{json-config}.
+Use the output of @code{yggdrasil -genconf} as a starting point. To configure a static address, delete everything except these options:
+@itemize
+@item @code{EncryptionPublicKey}
+@item @code{EncryptionPrivateKey}
+@item @code{SigningPublicKey}
