I am trying to set up a service that runs "sudo mullvad-daemon" upon user login. The mullvad package is installed through Nix on a user profile. I've tried creating a user service using Shepherd in a config file at "~/.config/shepherd/init.scm", but it doesn't seem possible to run the command as root. Here's a snippet from the file: (define mullvad (service '(mullvad) #:respawn? #t #:start (make-forkexec-constructor '("mullvad-daemon" "-v")) #:stop (make-kill-destructor))) I read through here in hopes to find a solution, but to no avail: https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/manual/shepherd.html#Services Perhaps there is a service constructor with an option to run the command as root? I know that I can define a Shepherd service in my system config file, which runs the command in it as root, but given that it depends on a user-installed Nix package, I'm not sure how I'll have to accommodate for that. The command is located at /home/user/.nix-profile/bin/mullvad-daemon. I also tried creating a regular system service using service-type, but couldn't get it to work. My only other alternative is to run sudo mullvad-daemon in ~/.profile and make an exception in the sudoers file to not require a password. This solution is messy so I wanna try to avoid it. I could also put the command in the Guix equivalent of "/etc/rc.local", but I don't think there is one in Guix. Any ideas on how I can create a service that runs a command installed in a user profile as root? Or alternatively, a better way to run a command as root without password on user login, after sourcing ~/.profile? Thanks!
