Some users for services use some /var/run directory as there home
directory, which works if the data doesn't need to survive reboots.
Otherwise, the data should go in to /var/lib.

The Tryton documentation isn't very clear to me either, Using PostgreSQL
sounds like a good place to start, and ideally it would be flexible
enough that any of the options are available when using the Guix
service.
