I was trying to setup user services using GNU Shepherd, as illustrated in this blog post (https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/gnu-shepherd-user-services/).
But I get an error related to `/run/user/1000`, that it either couldn't connect to or doesn't exist.
What should I do?

Yes, I started shepherd using `shepherd &` before herd invocation. But that did not create the `/run/user/1000`.

The system's (e)logind creates /run/user/nnn, not the user Shep.
Are you running Guix System? If so, are you using elogind-service-type
or %desktop-services?
Kind regards,

The last time I tried setting up user services, I ran into the same
error. I am using sway. And I think that I am using elogind...but I'm
certain how to check that.
I am starting sway via ~/.bash_profile with
exec dbus-run-session sway
Does this prove that I am currently using elogind?
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
joshua@dobby ~$ sudo herd status elogind
Status of elogind:
It is started.
Running value is 291.
It is enabled.
Provides (elogind).
Requires (dbus-system).
Conflicts with ().
Will be respawned.
#+END_SRC

So you have followed these steps, am I right? The daemon start step is missing, IIUC.

This usually indicates that Shepherd is not running.

Run shepherd command as the user before any herd invocation. Usually this is enough:
$ shepherd &
AFAIK there is no configuration in Guix (yet) to start automatically a Shepherd session per-user. I use it too, but I launch it with the X session, maybe this is helpfuk for you too.
Best regards,
Miguel

Thanks Miguel!
That solved my issue. My ~/.bash_profile now looks like:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# Honor per-interactive-shell startup file
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi
# shepherd
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/joshua/prog/gnu/guix/guix-packages/
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/home/joshua/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
# this may fix a bug that I have with termite confusing backspace as space in guix environment
# export TERM=linux
shepherd -c /home/joshua/.config/shepherd/init.scm &
exec dbus-run-session sway
fi
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
herd status
Started:
+ root
Stopped:
- vpn
#+END_SRC
