Hi! I'm currently running the guix system, and would like to

the emacs daemon/server at boot. How can i do this? Not used to
shepherd yet.
Unless you mean ‘at boot’ literally, this is best handled ‘at
log-in’ through a separate (user) instance of El Shep.
Unfortunately, this mode isn't currently integrated with Guix
System and still underdocumented.
Here's my set-up, which I thought I'd posted here before but can't
find in the archives:
~ λ cat /home/nckx/.config/shepherd/services.scm
(define emacs
(make <service>
#:provides '(emacs)
#:requires '()
#:start (make-system-constructor "emacs --daemon")
#:stop (make-system-destructor
"emacsclient --eval \"(kill-emacs)\"")))
;; Other services (gpg, ibus, …) snipped.
~ λ cat /home/nckx/.config/shepherd/init.scm
(load "services.scm")
(register-services emacs gpg-agent ibus-daemon jackd)
(action 'shepherd 'daemonize) ; send shepherd into background
(for-each start (list emacs)) ; services to start automatically
~ λ grep -A1 shepherd /home/nckx/.xsession
shepherd # user service manager
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session ssh-agent i3
Kind regards,
