I like this.

The users could also be included on this configuration. I am not sure if
users on the system are used also as users of the different services.

It would be nice to have something that would avoid configuration file
errors. Maybe some test that would review syntax on Emacs.

Maybe the best would be that each service would be run by a different user
in order to make the system more secure.

Just ideas.
