A few things are not working with the Guix rsync service:
1. A "files" module is created by default:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Generated by 'rsync-service'.
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
port = 873
use chroot = true
uid = rsyncd
gid = rsyncd
[files]
path = /srv/rsyncd
comment = Rsync share
read only = false
timeout = 300
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But rsync-configuration does not allow the user to specify another
module name, nor to add a module. This is limiting.
Furthermore, the default module name is not documented, so one has to
guess that the client must invoke
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rsync ... $HOST/files ... # The "files" here matters!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
2. The `uid' option does not work. With the following configuration
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service rsync-service-type
(rsync-configuration
(uid "ambrevar")
(gid "users")
(share-path "/whatever")
(read-only? #t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I get this on guix reconfigure:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
