Hello! I'm fairly new to using Guix System, and I have a lot of questions. One is: Is it possible to run a shepherd user service at system start, rather than at login?
My guess is that this is at least possible, by defining a system-level service that starts a shepherd for each user. Would that work? Anyone have tips on how to go about building this, if so? Especially: What's the easiest way to ensure that a guix service knows the list of users-with-login-shells on the system? And easiest way to run a `shepherd` instance as each such user on startup? I'm working on writing a service definition, but as this is my first from-scratch service (guix or shepherd), and one of my first lisp projects since reading SICP 15 years ago, it's slow going (even with the reference manual and source code of other services). And, of course, is there a simpler way? (I also asked this question on the r/guix subreddit, but haven't heard anything yet, and figured I'd ask here too)
