+@chapter Home Configuration
+@cindex home configuration
+Guix supports declarative configuration of @dfn{home environment} by
+utilizing the configuration mechanism described in the previous chapter
+(@pxref{Defining Services}), but for user's home. It works both on Guix
+System and foreign distros and allows users to declare all the packages
+that should be installed and configured for the user.  After that, such
+a @dfn{home configuration} can be @dfn{instantiated} by an unprivileged
+user with the @command{guix home} command (@pxref{Invoking guix home}).
+@c Maybe later, it will be possible to make home configuration a part of
+@c system configuration to make everything managed by guix system.
+
+User's home environment usually consists of three basic parts: software,
+configuration and state.  Software in mainstream distros are usually
+installed system-wide, but with GNU Guix most software packages can be
+installed on a per-user basis without needing root privileges, and are
+thus considered part of the user’s @dfn{home environment}.  Packages on
+their own not very useful in many cases, because often they require some
+additional configuration, usually config files that reside in
+@env{XDG_CONFIG_HOME} (default value is @file{~/.config}) or other
+directories.  Everything else can be considered state, like media files,
+application databases, and logs.
+
+Using Guix for managing home environments provides a number of
+advantages:
+
+@itemize
+
+@item All software can be configured in one language (Guile Scheme),
+this gives users to ability to share values between configurations of
+different programs and other benifits.
+
+@item A well-defined home environment is self-contained and can be
+created in a declarative and reproducible way.  There is no need to grab
+external binaries or manually edit some configuration file.
+
+@item After every @command{guix home reconfigure} invocation, a new home
+environment generation will be created.  This means that users can
+rollback to a previous home environment generation so they don’t have to
+worry about breaking their configuration.
+
+@item It is possible to manage stateful data with Guix Home, this
+includes the ability to automatically clone Git repositories on the
+initial setup of the machine, and periodically running commands like
+@command{rsync} to sync data with another host.  This functionality is
+still in an experimental stage, though.

+@section Declaring the Home Environment
+The home environment is configured by providing @code{home-environment}
+declaration in a file that can be passed to the @command{guix home}
+command (@pxref{Invoking guix home}).  A simple setup can include Bash
+and custom text configuration, like in the example below.  Don't be
+afraid to declare home environment parts, which overlaps with your
+current dotfiles, before installing any configuration files Guix Home
+will back up existing config files to a separate place in the home
+folder.
+
+@quotation Note
+It is highly recommended that you manage your shell or shells with Guix
+Home, because it will make sure that all the necessary scripts are
+sourced by shell configuration file.  Otherwise you will need to do it
+manually. (@pxref{Configuring the Shell}).

+
+The @code{packages} field should be self-explanatory, it will install
+the list of packages into the user's profile.  The most important field
+is @code{services}, it contains a list of @dfn{home services}, which are
+the basic building blocks of a home environment.
+
+There is no daemon (at least not necessary) related to home service,
+it's just an element that is used to declare part of home environment
+and extend other parts of it.  The extension mechanism discussed in the
+previous chapter (@pxref{Defining Services}) should not be confused with
+@ref{Shepherd Services}.  Using this extension mechanism and some Scheme
+code that glues things together gives a lot of freedom in declaring of
+very custom home environments.
+
+@node Configuring the Shell
+@section Configuring the Shell
+This section is safe to skip if your shell or shells are managed by
+Guix Home.  Otherwise, read it carefully.
+
+There are a few scripts that must be evaluated by a login shell to
+activate the home environment.  The shell startup files only read by
+login shells often have @code{profile} suffix.  For more information
+about login shells see @ref{Invoking Bash,,, bash, The GNU Bash
+Reference Manual} and see @ref{Bash Startup Files,,, bash, The GNU Bash
+Reference Manual}.
+
+The first script is @file{setup-environment}, which sets all the
+necessary environment variables (including variables declared by user)
+and the second one is @file{on-first-login}, which starts Shepherd for
+the current user and performs actions declared by other home services
+extending @code{home-run-on-first-login-service-type}.
+
+Guix Home will always create @file{~/.profile}, which contains the
+following lines:
+
+@example
+HOME_ENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.guix-home
+. $HOME_ENVIRONMENT/setup-environment
+$HOME_ENVIRONMENT/on-first-login
+@end example
+
+That makes POSIX compliant login shells activate the home environment.
+However, in most cases this file won't be read by most modern shells,
+because they are run in non POSIX mode by default and have their own
+@file{*profile} startup files.  For example Bash will prefer
+@file{~/.bash_profile} in case it exists and only if it doesn't will it
+fallback to @file{~/.profile}.  Zsh (if no additional options specified)
+will ignore @file{~/.profile}, even if @file{~/.zprofile} doesn't exist.
+
+To make your shell respect @file{~/.profile}, add @code{. ~/.profile} or
+@code{source ~/profile} to the startup file for the login shell.  In
+case of Bash, it is @file{~/.bash_profile}, and in case of Zsh, it is
+@file{~/.zprofile}.
+
+@quotation Note
+This step is only required if your shell is NOT managed by Guix Home.
+Otherwise, everything will be done automatically.

+@node Home Services
+@section Home Services
+@cindex home services
+
+A @dfn{home service} is not necessarily something that has a daemon and
+is managed by Shepherd (@pxref{Jump Start,,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd
+Manual}), in most cases it doesn't.  It's a simple building block of
+home environment, often declaring a set of packages to be installed in
+the home environment profile, a set of config files to be symlinked into
+@env{XDG_CONFIG_HOME} (default value is @file{~/.config}) and
+environment variables to be set by a login shell.
+
+There is a service extension mechanism (@pxref{Service Composition}),
+which allows home services to extend other home services and utilize
+capabilities they provide, for example: declare mcron jobs
+(@pxref{Top,,, mcron, GNU@tie{}Mcron}) by extending @ref{Mcron Home
+Service}, declare daemons by extending @ref{Shepherd Home Service}, add
+commands, which will be invoked on by the Bash by extending
+@ref{Shells Home Services, @code{home-bash-service-type}}.
+
+The good way to discover avaliable home services is using the
+@command{guix home search} command (@pxref{Invoking guix home}).  After
+the required home services are found, include its module with the
+@code{use-modules} form (@pxref{use-modules,, Using Guile Modules,
+guile, The GNU Guile Reference Manual}), or the @code{#:use-modules}
+directive (@pxref{define-module,, Creating Guile Modules, guile, The GNU
+Guile Reference Manual}) and declare a home service using the
+@code{service} function, or extend a service type by declaring a new
+service with the @code{simple-service} procedure from @code{(gnu
+services)}.
+
+@menu
+* Essential Home Services::  Environment variables, packages, on-* scripts.
+* Shells: Shells Home Services.          POSIX shells, Bash, Zsh.

+
+@node Essential Home Services
+@subsection Essential Home Services
+There are a few essential services defined in @code{(gnu
+home-services)}, they are mostly for internal use and are required to
+build a home environment, but some of them will be useful for the end
+user.
+
+@cindex environment variables
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-environment-variables-service-type
+The service of this type will be instantiated by every home environment
+automatically by default, there is no need to define it, but someone may
+want to extend it with a list of pairs to set some environment
+variables.
+
+@lisp
+(list ("ENV_VAR1" . "value1")
+      ("ENV_VAR2" . "value2"))
+@end lisp
+
+The easiest way to extend service type, without defining new service
+type is to use the @code{simple-service} helper from @code{(gnu
+services)}.
+
+@lisp
+(simple-service 'some-useful-env-vars-service
+		home-environment-variables-service-type
+		`(("LESSHISTFILE" . "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/.lesshst")
+                  ("SHELL" . ,(file-append zsh "/bin/zsh"))
+                  ("USELESS_VAR" . #f)
+                  ("_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING" . #t)))
+@end lisp
+
+If you include such service to you home environment definition, it will
+add the following content to the @file{setup-environment} script (which
+is expected to be sourced by the login shell):
+
+@example
+export LESSHISTFILE=$XDG_CACHE_HOME/.lesshst
+export SHELL=/gnu/store/2hsg15n644f0glrcbkb1kqknmmqdar03-zsh-5.8/bin/zsh
+export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING
+@end example
+
+@quotation Note
+Make sure that module @code{(gnu packages shells)} is imported with
+@code{use-modules} or any other way, this namespace contains definition
+of @code{zsh} packages, which is used in the example above.
+@end quotation
+
+
+The key of the association list (@pxref{Association Lists, alists,
+Association Lists, guile, The GNU Guile Reference manual}) is always a
+string, the value can be a string, string-valued gexp
+(@pxref{G-Expressions}) file-like object (@pxref{G-Expressions,
+file-like object}) or boolean. For gexps, the variable will be set to
+the value of the gexp; for file-like objects, it will be set to the path
+of the file in the store (@pxref{The Store}); for @code{#t}, it will
+export the variable without any value; and for @code{#f}, it will omit
+variable.
+
+@end defvr
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-profile-service-type
+The service of this type will be instantiated by every home environment
+automatically, there is no need to define it, but you may want to extend
+it with a list of packages if you want to install additional packages
+into your profile.  Other services, which need to make some programs
+avaliable to the user will also extend this service type.
+
+The extension value is just a list of packages:
+
+@lisp
+(list htop vim emacs)
+@end lisp
+
+The same approach as @code{simple-service} (@pxref{Service Reference,
+simple-service}) for @code{home-environment-variables-service-type} can
+be used here, too.  Make sure that modules containing the specified
+packages are imported with @code{use-modules}.  To find a package or
+information about its module use @command{guix search} (@pxref{Invoking
+guix package}).  Alternatively, @code{specification->package} can be
+used to get the package record from string without importing related
+module.
+@end defvr
+
+There are few more essential services, but users are not expected to
+extend them.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-service-type
+The root of home services DAG, it generates a folder, which later will be
+symlinked to @file{~/.guix-home}, it contains configurations,
+profile with binaries and libraries, and some necessary scripts to glue
+things together.
+@end defvr
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-run-on-first-login-service-type
+The service of this type generates a Guile script, which is expected to
+be executed by the login shell.  It is only executed if the special flag
+file inside @env{XDG_RUNTIME_DIR} hasn't been created, this prevents
+redundant executions of the script if multiple login shells are spawned.
+
+It Can be extended with a gexp.  However, to autostart an application,
+users SHOULD NOT use this service, in most cases it's better to extend
+@code{home-shpeherd-service-type} with a Shepherd service
+(@pxref{Shepherd Services}), or extend the shell's startup file with
+required command using the appropriate service type.
+@end defvr
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} home-activation-service-type
+The service of this type generates a guile script, which runs on every
+@command{guix home reconfigure} invocation or any other action, which
+leads to activation of home environment.

+Shells play a quite important role in the environment initialization

+@ref{Configuring the Shell}, but the recommended way is to use home services
+listed below.  It's both easier and more reliable.
+
+Each home environment instantiates
+@code{home-shell-profile-service-type}, which creates a
+@file{~/.profile} startup file for all POSIX-compatible shells.  This
+file contains all the necessary steps to properly initialize the
+environment, but many modern shells like Bash or Zsh prefer their own
+startup files, that's why the respective home services
+(@code{home-bash-service-type} and @code{home-zsh-service-type}) ensure
+that @file{~/.profile} is sourced by @file{~/.bash_profile} and
+@file{~/.zprofile}, respectively.

+
+@code{profile} is a list of strings or gexps, which will go to
+@file{~/.profile}.  By default @file{~/.profile} contains the
+initialization code, which have to be evaluated by login shell to make
+home-environment's profile avaliable to the user, but other commands can
+be added to the file if it is really necessary.

+@item reconfigure
+Build the home environment described in @var{file}, and switch to it.
+Switching means that activation script will be evaluated and (in basic

+currently running; if a service is currently running this command will
+arrange for it to be upgraded the next time it is stopped (e.g.@: by
+@code{herd stop X} or @code{herd restart X}).
+
+This command creates a new generation whose number is one greater than
+the current generation (as reported by @command{guix home

+overwritten.  This behavior mirrors that of @command{guix package}

+can view it by running:
+
+@example
+guix home describe

+
+This information is useful should you later want to inspect how this

+
+@example

+  home reconfigure \
+  /var/guix/profiles/per-user/@var{USER}/guix-home-@var{n}-link/configuration.scm
+
+@end example
+
+You can think of it as some sort of built-in version control!  Your
+home is not just a binary artifact: @emph{it carries its own source}.
+@c @xref{Service Reference, @code{provenance-service-type}}, for more
+@c information on provenance tracking.
+
+@item switch-generation
+@cindex home generations
+Switch to an existing home generation.  This action atomically switches
+the home profile to the specified home generation.
+
+The target generation can be specified explicitly by its generation
+number.  For example, the following invocation would switch to home
+generation 7:
+
+@example
+guix home switch-generation 7
+@end example
+
+The target generation can also be specified relative to the current
+generation with the form @code{+N} or @code{-N}, where @code{+3} means
+``3 generations ahead of the current generation,'' and @code{-1} means
+``1 generation prior to the current generation.''  When specifying a
+negative value such as @code{-1}, you must precede it with @code{--} to
+prevent it from being parsed as an option.  For example:
+
+@example
+guix home switch-generation -- -1
+@end example
+
+This action will fail if the specified generation does not exist.
+
+@item roll-back
+@cindex rolling back
+Switch to the preceding home generation.  This is the inverse
+of @command{reconfigure}, and it is exactly the same as invoking
+@command{switch-generation} with an argument of @code{-1}.
+
+@item delete-generations
+@cindex deleting home generations
+@cindex saving space
+Delete home generations, making them candidates for garbage collection
+(@pxref{Invoking guix gc}, for information on how to run the ``garbage
+collector'').
+
+This works in the same way as @samp{guix package --delete-generations}
+(@pxref{Invoking guix package, @option{--delete-generations}}).  With no
+arguments, all home generations but the current one are deleted:
+
+@example
+guix home delete-generations
+@end example
+
+You can also select the generations you want to delete.  The example below
+deletes all the home generations that are more than two month old:
+
+@example
+guix home delete-generations 2m
+@end example
+
+@item build
+Build the derivation of the home environment, which includes all the
+configuration files and programs needed.  This action does not actually
+install anything.
+
+@item describe
+Describe the current home generation: its file name, as well as
+provenance information when available.
+
+@item list-generations
+List a summary of each generation of the home environment available on
+disk, in a human-readable way.  This is similar to the
+@option{--list-generations} option of @command{guix package}
+(@pxref{Invoking guix package}).
+
+Optionally, one can specify a pattern, with the same syntax that is used
+in @command{guix package --list-generations}, to restrict the list of
+generations displayed.  For instance, the following command displays
+generations that are up to 10 days old:
+
+@example
+$ guix home list-generations 10d
+@end example
+
+@end table
