Guix is a very powerful distribution and makes it easy to distribute your own off-main channels (additional package and service repositories). A couple of months ago Ludovic Courtès wrote an article on the guix blog about publishing your source development repository as a channel and it got me to move my capsule to a guix server.
It is now possible to do this from the dezhemini master branch. To add the dezhemini channel to a guix server add the following channel (see .config/guix/channels.scm):
(channel (name 'dezhemini) (url "https://git.sr.ht/~rwv/dezhemini") (branch "master"))
And run guix pull.
Now add the following service definition to the services section in your system config.scm file:
(service dezhemini-service-type
(dezhemini-configuration
(directory "/srv/gemini")
(cert-pem-files '("example.cert.pem"))
(key-pem-files '("example.com.key.pem"))
(server-specs '("example.com:root")))))
In the above example dezhemini will serve files from "/srv/gemini/root" directory with SSL certificate and key from the "/srv/gemini" directory. The certificate files can be generated with:
cd /srv/gemini guix shell dezhemini -- dezhmnsrv example.com:root
Run guix system reconfigure and dezhemini should be started automatically by shepherd.
For more configuration options, look for the define-configuration section in the following:
Note by default the dezhemini package depends on the full racket package which is pretty big but does include everything and the kitchen sink. For a more lightweight setup configure the service to use dezhemini-minimal.
Also note that no environment variables are set, so if you want to run CGI scripts, make sure to add something like:
(environment-variables '("PATH=/run/current-system/profile/bin"))
to the service configuration.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
R.
