It's a common limitation of packages that provide a server. Guix doesn't manage daemons on foreign distros, it's the role of your distro.

You might be able to set it up by installing as root, maybe manually copy the systemd service and hope that's enough. We can't support all methods of running daemons there exist on foreign distros, so you're on your own.
