I'm a bit late, but I'm glad to see that its working for you. Here's
what I have in my user services for running syncthing:
(define %syncthing-user-service
(shepherd-service
(documentation "Run `syncthing' without calling the browser")
(provision '(syncthing))
(start #~(make-forkexec-constructor
(list #$(file-append (S "syncthing") "/bin/syncthing")
"-no-browser")
#:log-file (string-append #$%logdir "/syncthing.log")))
(stop #~(make-kill-destructor))
(respawn? #t)))
I have %logdir defined elsewhere as:
(define %logdir
(or (getenv "XDG_LOG_HOME")
(format #f "~a/.local/var/log"
(getenv "HOME"))))
and S is specification->package.
