The (gnu home services shepherd) module supports the definitions of
per-user Shepherd services (see Introduction in The GNU
Shepherd Manual). You extend home-shepherd-service-type with new
services; Guix Home then takes care of starting the shepherd daemon
for you when you log in, which in turns starts the services you asked for.
The service type for the userland Shepherd, which allows one to manage long-running processes or one-shot tasks. User’s Shepherd is not an init process (PID 1), but almost all other information described in (see Сервисы Shepherd) is applicable here too.
This is the service type that extensions target when they want to create
shepherd services (see Типы сервисов и сервисы, for an example).
Each extension must pass a list of <shepherd-service>. Its value
must be a home-shepherd-configuration, as described below.
Управление конфигурацией операционной системы.
port (default: 22)Используемый пакет Hurd.
auto-start? (default: #t)Whether or not to start Shepherd on first login.
daemonize? (default: #t)Whether or not to run Shepherd in the background.
silent? (default: #t)When true, the shepherd process does not write anything to
standard output when started automatically.
features (default: '())A list of <shepherd-service> to start. You should probably use the
service extension mechanism instead (see Сервисы Shepherd).
The Shepherd also comes with a log rotation service, which compresses
and then deletes old log files produced by services and daemons that it
runs. This service is made available through
home-log-rotation-service-type as described below.
This is the service type for the user Shepherd log rotation service
(see Log Rotation Service in The GNU Shepherd Manual). Its
value must be a log-rotation-configuration record, exactly as for its
system-wide counterpart. See log-rotation-configuration, for its
reference.
This service is part of %base-home-services.
