+(Optional) You may want to publish the content of your store for other

+Set @command{guix publish} to automatically start on boot.
+
+If your host distro uses the systemd init system, this can be achieved
+with these commands:
+
+@example
+# ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/systemd/system/guix-publish.service \
+        /etc/systemd/system/
+# systemctl start guix-publish && systemctl enable guix-publish

+
+@example
+# ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-publish.conf /etc/init/
+# start guix-publish
+@end example
+
+Otherwise, you can still start @command{guix publish} manually with:

+# ~root/.guix-profile/bin/guix publish --user=guixpublish
