services: hurd-vm: Support persistent images again.

2025-12-03T16:56:15+00:00

Fixes a regression introduced in bab6434f5855b92631615fdd8a2d2a225da28359
whereby following the example from the manual regarding non-volatile images
would no longer work.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (hurd-vm-shepherd-service): Pass ‘image’ to
‘system-image’ only if it’s an image.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Explicitly say that the ‘image’
field can contain a file name.  Remove use of ‘const’ for the ‘image’ field in
persistent image example and adjust text.

services: libvirt: Add configurable service requirements.

2025-10-07T11:18:05+00:00

This enhances flexibility by allowing users to specify custom service
dependencies for libvirt, rather than being limited to the default hardcoded
requirements. This is particularly useful for complex deployments or when
integrating with custom service configurations.

Note that default 'dbus-system' requirement may not be strictly necessary for
basic libvirt operation. For instance, libvirt can function without issues in
many cases even when dbus-system is not included in the requirements, allowing
for more minimal deployments.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (list-of-symbols?,
serialize-list-of-symbols): New procedures.
(libvirt-configuration): Add 'requirement' field to allow custom service
dependencies.
(libvirt-shepherd-service): Use the configured requirements instead of
hardcoded ones.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Document the new 'requirement'
option.

services: libvirt: Make dmidecode available to fix SMBIOS error.

2025-10-07T11:18:04+00:00

The libvirt daemon requires 'dmidecode' to provide Host SMBIOS information
to virtual machines. Without it in the PATH, it fails with the error:
"Host SMBIOS information is not available".

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (libvirt-configuration): Add 'dmidecode'
field to specify the dmidecode package.
(libvirt-service-type): Add dmidecode to system profile to ensure it's
available in PATH.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Document the new 'dmidecode'
option.

2025-09-21T16:35:50+00:00

‘modules’, add (shepherd system).
