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?

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

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

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
