13.3.17 Miscellaneous Home Services

This section lists Home services that lack a better place.

Beets Service

The (gnu home services music) module provides the following service:

Variable: home-beets-service-type

Beets is a music file and metadata manager that can be used via its command-line interface, beet. Beets requires a YAML configuration file and this Guix Home service is to create such file.

The service can be used as follows:

(service home-beets-service-type
         (home-beets-configuration (directory "/home/alice/music")))

Additional options can be specified via the service wild-card field extra-options:

(service home-beets-service-type
         (home-beets-configuration
          (directory "/home/alice/music")
          (extra-options '("
import:
  move: yes"))))

Servicio de diccionario

The (gnu home services dict) module provides the following service:

Variable: home-dicod-service-type

Tipo de servicio que ejecuta el daemon dicod, una implementación del servidor DICT (see Dicod in GNU Dico Manual).

Puede añadir open localhost en su archivo ~/.dico para hacer que localhost sea el servidor predeterminado de su cliente dico (see Initialization File in GNU Dico Manual).

This service is a direct mapping of the dicod-service-type system service (see Dictionary Service). You can use it like this:

(service home-dicod-service-type)

You may specify a custom configuration by providing a dicod-configuration record, exactly like for dicod-service-type, but wrapping it in for-home:

(service home-dicod-service-type
         (for-home
          (dicod-configuration …)))
