When running "guix home container test-config.scm" (attached) the
following warning appears on screen:
warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR doesn't exists, on-first-login script
won't execute anything. You can check if xdg runtime directory exists,
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is set to appropriate value and manually execute the
script by running '$HOME/.guix-home/on-first-login'
I don't know if on-first-login does anything useful when run in the
container, but the warning looks scary.
A lot of users don't hit it because they run shepherd which creates
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in the process of creating a command socket.
I think that "guix home container" should create XDG_RUNTIME_DIR by
itself, since there is no logind in the container.
This warning was discussed before in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56758.
There was also this IRC discussion
https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2023-12-27.log#083824 that prompted me to
file this bugreport.
