Hi Guix! I'm sending two threads with the same intro, read below the line for the questions.
I've been playing around with guixsd on my day-to-day work laptop for a month or so now and have to say I'm thoroughly happy about how everything is put together and mostly _just works_. I'll note that I'm still very much learning guile and scheme. But the manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/) is amazing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will, over the coming week or so, begin setting up a server (for web pages, file sharing and hopefully email). Webservices: Is it preferred to put their "program files" in package definitions and telling shepherd how to run them in services? Are there any examples of a guixsd server config with multiple web services out there? And when it comes to shepherd: I've seen a few configs where shepherd is running as a user in addition to root. It looks like this is a good way to separate webservices and similar, maybe even giving them separate users. But does it mean shepherd is running multiple instances, increasing overhead and difficulty of management (as in how do I know which shepherd I'm talking to and so on)? My entire configuration with homemade modules can be found at: https://notabug.org/thomassgn/guixsd-configuration
