custom service definition files location

custom service definition files location

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi, 

does anyone know where do I have to place my custom service definition `.scm` files,
in order to automatically be identified by `guix system reconfigure` command? 

Thanks,
Reza

Guix system is declared in 1 file. The file may be 'config.scm',or 'xyz.scm', or even 'foo.bar'.

It is not automatically detected by 'guix system' commands(you might be thinking of nix).

It is supplied as a command-line argument with the 'guix system' commands. Check 'guix system --help'.

Thanks for your response. 
sure I will pass my system config file as an argument to guix: 

$ guix system reconfigure /etc/confg.scm

but my question is about to detect my custom service definition files ( myservice.scm ) in order that I could use them inside my config.scm . for existing services, their definition files are located in store, in `/gnu/store/.../gnu/service/` path.

Best, 
Reza

There are two ways to do this:

1. place your service definitions in a Guile module and put the
directory containing the module files onto GUILE_LOAD_PATH.  Refer to
the module with a “use-modules” clause in your operating system
configuration.

2. Include the file with “(include "/path/to/file-name")”.  You can use
a relative file name here.

Thanks, adding service definition path to `GUILE_LOAD_PATH` fixed the issue.
