I want to make this into a REALLY simple service!

Ideally, I would love an example service, that just starts a program. There is no configuration.

It just looks like:

(service some-service)

I should definitely try to use (define configuration).

However, most services in guix, have a configuration field or configuration file.

There is some documentation in the guix manual about this.

Does endlessh's logging feature work? Should I enable this by default?

I can use "-vs". This is a TODO feature for later. I'm not too interested in setting up logging.

get endlessh using user "endlessh" instead of "root"

Currently I can try to run endlessh as "endlessh", but it does NOT run properly.

DONE make sure it is using principle of least authority

It seems to be pretty doing this. This blog post talks more about it:

use the existing code found here:

http://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2017/running-system-services-in-containers/

http://issues.guix.gnu.org/39136

Add documentation to it.
