Hi Maxim, I guess this is not explained that well, but the service-extension snippet is supposed to go under the (extensions ...) field of a record. If you want to extend this in your system config, you want (simple-service ...) instead, with e.g. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (simple-service 'alice-role postgresql-role-service-type (postgresql-role (name "alice") (create-database? #t))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best, -- Josselin Poiret
