A few things are not working with the Guix rsync service:
1. A "files" module is created by default:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Generated by 'rsync-service'.
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
port = 873
use chroot = true
uid = rsyncd
gid = rsyncd
[files]
path = /srv/rsyncd
comment = Rsync share
read only = false
timeout = 300
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But rsync-configuration does not allow the user to specify another
module name, nor to add a module. This is limiting.
Furthermore, the default module name is not documented, so one has to
guess that the client must invoke
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rsync ... $HOST/files ... # The "files" here matters!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
2. The `uid' option does not work. With the following configuration
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service rsync-service-type
(rsync-configuration
(uid "ambrevar")
(gid "users")
(share-path "/whatever")
(read-only? #t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I get this on guix reconfigure:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
building /gnu/store/lvkplmcxr785x56022hm8d88x0fbpd0m-switch-to-system.scm.drv...
making '/gnu/store/v01y64gg1wbvg5jk3xgsci04rgvfy6sv-system' the current system...
setting up setuid programs in '/run/setuid-programs'...
populating /etc from /gnu/store/5pwh48vkd4yhjc29iq6mxnh7jgd4nnmh-etc...
Backtrace:
1 (primitive-load "/home/ambrevar/.config/guix/current/bin/guix")
In guix/ui.scm:
1945:12 0 (run-guix-command _ . _)
guix/ui.scm:1945:12: In procedure run-guix-command:
In procedure getpw: entry not found
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Cheers!

I think this was fixed by Ludovic in
c9d92409d4d3f587f73c6f48f845a913f7278ad1 ("services: rsync: Allow
configuring several rsync "modules".")

Not sure what happened here; did a 'ambrevar' user already exist at the
time of reconfiguring? Are you able to reproduce that still?

Hi,
I'll close it because it seems the main concern should have been fixed
with c9d92409d4d3f587f73c6f48f845a913f7278ad1, but please comment/reopen
if you still reproduce an issue.
