13.3.16 Networking Home Services

This section lists services somewhat networking-related that you may use with Guix Home.

The (gnu home services syncthing) module provides a service to set up the https://syncthing.net continuous file backup service.

Variable: home-syncthing-service-type

This is the service type for the syncthing daemon; it is the Home counterpart of the syncthing-service-type system service (see syncthing-service-type). The value for this service type is a syncthing-configuration.

Here is how you would set it up with the default configuration:

(service home-syncthing-service-type)

For a custom configuration, wrap you syncthing-configuration in for-home, as in this example:

(service home-syncthing-service-type
         (for-home
          (syncthing-configuration (logflags 5))))

For details about syncthing-configuration, check out the documentation of the system service (see syncthing-service-type).
