To use the ‘tor’ command, like any other package, you must install
the ‘tor’ package into either the system profile (using
SYSTEM-PACKAGES) or that of your user (using ‘guix package’).
I'd recommend SYSTEM-PACKAGES in this case so the tor commands
will always match the version of Tor used by the service.
This is by design; services can't pollute the environment of
users, including the system profile. That's a good thing.
Therefore, "tor-service-type" is of little or no use, if it does
not
invoke and add "tor" package into the system.
That's just not true. The tor service does its job and works just
fine without the ‘tor’ command. I just checked both of my Tor
nodes (both run Guix :-) and neither of them have ‘tor’ installed
into any profile. Nyx and herd (and emacs torrc) are all I need
to administrate them.
I'm closing this because there's no bug here…
Kind regards,
