=== Systemd services === | |||
As explained above, we don't run sway itself as a systemd service. There are auxiliary daemons that we do want to run as systemd services, for example Kanshi [https://sr.ht/~emersion/kanshi/], which implements monitor hot swapping. It would be enabled as follows: | |||
{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki> | |||
# kanshi systemd service | |||
systemd.user.services.kanshi = { | |||
description = "kanshi daemon"; | |||
serviceConfig = { | |||
Type = "simple"; | |||
ExecStart = ''${pkgs.kanshi}/bin/kanshi -c kanshi_config_file'; | |||
}; | |||
}; | |||
</nowiki>}} | |||
{{file|sway config|bash| | |||
exec systemctl --user start kanshi.service | |||
}} | |||
When you launch sway, the systemd service is started. | |||
