Hello everybody, I'm trying to define a guix home environment that
mirrors the current envornment I'm using on my laptop.
I'm having some problem understanding services and how to define them,
in particular I can't seem to understand to setup zsh as the login
shell and the manual is not helping.
Here the current config (for now I'm just trying to get the packages
in order and I'm using bash as the shell):
--------------------->8--------------------------------------------
(use-modules (gnu home)
(gnu home services)
(gnu home services shells)
(gnu services)
(gnu packages admin)
(gnu packages base)
(gnu packages perl)
(gnu packages perl6)
(gnu packages lisp)
(gnu packages mpd)
(guix gexp))
(home-environment
(packages (list htop
perl
sbcl
rakudo
mpd
mpd-mpc
coreutils
binutils))
(services
(append (list
(service home-bash-service-type
(home-bash-configuration
(guix-defaults? #t)
(variables
`(("HISTFILE" . "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/.bash_history")
("HISTSIZE" . "50000")))))
(simple-service 'test-config
home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type
(list `("test.conf"
,(plain-file "tmp-file.txt"
"the content of
~/.config/test.conf")))))
%base-home-services)))
--------------------------8<-------------------------------------
Another thing that I wanted to ask was if I should put sway in the
home-environment or leave it to the host distro's package manager.
PS: I'm using `guix home container home.scm` to test things, I don't
know if it's important
