The (gnu home services desktop)
module provides services that you
may find useful on “desktop” systems running a graphical user
environment such as Xorg.
This is the service type for Redshift, a program that adjusts the display color temperature
according to the time of day. Its associated value must be a
home-redshift-configuration
record, as shown below.
A typical configuration, where we manually specify the latitude and longitude, might look like this:
(service home-redshift-service-type (home-redshift-configuration (location-provider 'manual) (latitude 35.81) ;northern hemisphere (longitude -0.80))) ;west of Greenwich
Available home-redshift-configuration
fields are:
redshift
(default: redshift
) (type: file-like)Redshift package to use.
location-provider
(default: geoclue2
) (type: symbol)Geolocation provider—'manual
or 'geoclue2
. In the
former case, you must also specify the latitude
and
longitude
fields so Redshift can determine daytime at your place.
In the latter case, the Geoclue system service must be running; it will
be queried for location information.
adjustment-method
(default: randr
) (type: symbol)Color adjustment method.
daytime-temperature
(default: 6500
) (type: integer)Daytime color temperature (kelvins).
nighttime-temperature
(default: 4500
) (type: integer)Nighttime color temperature (kelvins).
daytime-brightness
(type: maybe-inexact-number)Daytime screen brightness, between 0.1 and 1.0, or left unspecified.
nighttime-brightness
(type: maybe-inexact-number)Nighttime screen brightness, between 0.1 and 1.0, or left unspecified.
latitude
(type: maybe-inexact-number)Latitude, when location-provider
is 'manual
.
longitude
(type: maybe-inexact-number)Longitude, when location-provider
is 'manual
.
dawn-time
(type: maybe-string)Custom time for the transition from night to day in the
morning—"HH:MM"
format. When specified, solar elevation is not
used to determine the daytime/nighttime period.
dusk-time
(type: maybe-string)Likewise, custom time for the transition from day to night in the evening.
extra-content
(default: ""
) (type: raw-configuration-string)Extra content appended as-is to the Redshift configuration file. Run
man redshift
for more information about the configuration file
format.
This is the service type for running a session-specific D-Bus, for unprivileged applications that require D-Bus to be running.
The configuration record for home-dbus-service-type
.
dbus
(default: dbus
)The package providing the /bin/dbus-daemon
command.
