[bug#37624] Add how to create a runit service in step 5 of binary installation manual

I would like to add a patch in https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html#Binary-Installation
-> step 5 Run the daemon, and set it to automatically start on boot.

If your host distro uses the Runit system:

<code>
# mkdir /etc/sv/guix-daemon
</code>

Then create file /etc/sv/guix-daemon/run with your favorite text editor e.g. emacs.

<code>
# emacs /etc/sv/guix-daemon/run
</code>

And add this two line of code in the file.

<code>
#!/bin/sh
exec /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
</code>

Now, you can enable and start guix-daemon service with:

<code>
# ln -s /etc/sv/guix-daemon /var/service/ && sv up guix-daemon
</code>

I would like to add it in etc and the manual at doc/guix.texi updated.
How can I contribute?

That's great!

Okay.  As you will see, <code> is coded as @example ... @end example.

I would suggest you change this bit to resemble the other init systems:
this file to the repository for people to simply cp.  You will have to
replace `/var' directory with the configurable `@localstatedir@'.

You will need to create a patch to doc/guix.texi.  You first need to
clone the guix git archive.

Have a look at the `Contributing' section in the manual, especially
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html.

Edit doc/guix.texi, check the result by building the manual:

    make info
    <visit doc/guix.info>

For the rest, follow the pattern used for the file

    etc/guix-daemon.service.in

do not forget to add your file to

    etc/local.mk

Commit your changes to git and reply to this bug with your patch.  Feel
free to ask if you have any questions.

Greetings,
janneke

I've had a look at the patch, it seems OK. Did you consider adding the
config file to Guix itself, so that a user can copy it, just like the
systemd and upstart examples?

That might be more consistent, and avoid the docs getting longer.

Yes, I think I have that done also, I'll dig it out. I even think I saw the
doc issue bug after having done the config file thing.

Stay tuned
