Auto-Login with Elogin, Greetd and wlgreet

Auto-Login with Elogin, Greetd and wlgreet

[guix]

I am wondering if there is a configuration where I can auto-login with elogin, greetd and sway. I see the option with mingetty. I would like to keep the system to a minimal.

Any help would be appreciated. 
Thank you.

There is an example of how to do this is the guix cookbook, but it has been broke
for about 3 years maybe?

The relevant bug report is here:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56958

It even has a guix vm you can use to reproduce the issue.

Thank you for the response.

The method in the Cookbook is for auto-login to a specific TTY. That method still uses mingetty. I would like to use greetd. 

I did found a method in the arch linux wiki to auto-login with greetd config, But guix auto generates the greetd config file. 

I am wondering if I can add on to the generate config file or use a manual config file instead of the auto generated one. 

I am new to the mailing list. If I make a mistake on replying to the mailing list, I apologize. I don't know if I need to simple reply or reply to all.

Thank you.

I will teach how I would start to approach this problem: Identify the
source code that defines the current greetd configuration file —
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/base.scm#n3597

Follow that code and understand it.  The simplest way to hack it is to
copy the entire greetd-service-type procedure, replace the
greetd-etc-service with your own and use the changed definition in your
system configuration.

The best option is to "reply to mailing list".  It may not exist in your
mail software, I am not sure about the next best thing.

And do the bottom posting technique when replying.
