Hi,
I'm going to run `shepherd` as a normal user automatically (at startup). How can I do that?
I know the `shepherd` will be run as root with PID=1 in the init system, but I have some services that should be run by `shepherd` for normal users.
Regards,
Hamzeh

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere I could find, but there was a
simple example posted to this mailing list a while back that helped me:

Thanks for your reply.
It's a good example. But my main problem is running `shepherd` as normal user automatically.
For now, I've to run it manually.

I believe you can add it to some shell startup files, or session startup
script. It depends on you environment.

I'm looking to find a way to configure the `shepherd` with `config.scm` (system reconfigure ...).
The startup script is a workaround but it has some problems, for example, multi-login/multi instance of shepherd and so on.
Do you have any idea?

It is still a workaround, but for example for gpg-agent I right now simply
start a new instance that fails with a warning that it is already running.
I don't know if shepherd does the same thing, but it would be nice. If not
you could check for the existence of the socket manually before starting.
One way to get user configs in guix is using the guix-home-manager, but
that is experimental. It misses a lot of configuration modules, and takes a
very radical approach by making the home directory a guix profile.
