Re: Features of installing package that works as service

[znavko]

Thank you, Joshua Branson!

Your code helped me a bit

(use-modules  (gnu services databases) )

(services (cons*  (service postgresql-service-type)

%desktop-services))

After `guix reconfigure /etc/config.scm` and reboot postgresql server is running:

# herd status | grep postgre
 + postgres

The only one change I want to do. Please, how to disable auto-start of postgresql? I need it sometimes and want to start it manually only. I think there should be some guile function like '(service postgresql-service-type (config no-autostart))', but qwant search does not give the answer.

I've read 'start' and 'stop' options here https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Shepherd-Services

and here

https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/manual/shepherd.html#index-Configuration-file

 and tried to find out here http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/databases.scm

But I did not get the answer for those 10 minutes I've spend there.

I tried with no success:

(service postgresql-service-type (unstartable '()) )
(service postgresql-service-type (config (unstartable '()) )

(service postgresql-service-type (let (unstartable '())) )

Please, how to do this?
