I agree, this would be useful to many people I=E2=80=99m sure, in particula= r to anyone who doesn=E2=80=99t dare switch to Guix System out of fear of not fi= nding a specific service. If there=E2=80=99s a way this could be generalized so others can use it for daemons other than Grafana, that=E2=80=99d be great. Ludo=E2=80=99.
