+# Mine Minetest
+
+Haha, 2x "Mine", I hope you see an joke.
+I write to explain you how I setup minetest server under this Tilde UNIX server.  Also is this mine first blog post which only is on Gemini and not on HTTPS.  You have to installed a Gemini client to reading it.
+
+## Guix config
+
+Mine Guix Home config has growing a lot and this is now
+
+```
+(use-modules ((gnu home) #:select (home-environment))
+             ((gnu home services) #:select
+              (home-files-service-type service service-extension
+                                       service-type))
+             ((gnu home services shells) #:select
+              (home-bash-configuration home-bash-service-type))
+             ((gnu home services shepherd) #:select
+              (home-shepherd-service-type shepherd-service))
+             ((gnu packages minetest) #:select (minetest-server))
+             ((gnu system shadow) #:select (%default-dotguile))
+             ((guix gexp) #:select (file-append gexp local-file plain-file)))
+
+(define home-minetest-services
+  (const
+    (list (shepherd-service
+           (provision '(minetest))
+           (modules '((shepherd support)))      ;for '%user-log-dir'
+           (start #~(make-forkexec-constructor
+                     '(#$(file-append minetest-server "/bin/minetestserver")
+                       "--gameid" "minetest"
+                       "--config" #$(local-file "abdultest.conf"))
+                     #:log-file (string-append %user-log-dir
+                                               "/minetest.log")))
+           (stop #~(make-kill-destructor))
+           (documentation "Start Minetest block game like Minecraft.")))))
+
+(define home-minetest-activation
+  (const #~(mkdir-p "/home/ctftilde/ctftilde-abdul/.local/minetest/abdultest")))
+
+(define home-minetest-service-type
+  (service-type
+   (name 'home-minetest)
+   (extensions
+    (list (service-extension home-shepherd-service-type
+                             home-minetest-services)
+          (service-extension home-activation-service-type
+                             home-minetest-activation)))
+   (description "Minetest block game like Minecraft.")
+   (default-value #f)))
+
+(home-environment
+ (services
+  (list
+   (service home-bash-service-type
+            (home-bash-configuration
+             (bash-profile (list (plain-file
+                                  "bash_ps1"
+                                  "export PS1=\"\n↓← $PS1\n→ \"")))))
+
+   (service home-files-service-type
+            `((".guile" ,%default-dotguile)))
+
+   (service home-minetest-service-type))))
+```
+
+But this is no all, and I had advice to writing Minetest Server map config in a new file abdultest.conf.  This is inside that
+
+```
+map-dir = /home/ctftilde/abdul/.local/minetest/abdultest
+server_name = Abdul & friends
+motd = I and mine friends build of blocks
+port = 20030
+```
+
+Then I use
+
+```
+#$(local-file "abdultest.conf")
+```
+
+to putting the file into Guix and it put an path to .conf file in Minetest Server command.  (I had been said this helps because Guix can "declaratively" define the system)
+
+## Adding to Cron
+
+Services from .scm configuration file are runned by shepderd who is started when user logins.  So yeah, I want a initial shepherd process starting when reboot and a Minetest Server process starting by shepherd then.  For that I edit crontab like
+
+```
+crontab -e
+```
+
+and write line like
+
+```
+* * * * * bash -l
+```
+
+## Thanks
+
+I wanted to thank to Wojtek Kosior for helping me 2x to write Guix home configs and write cron configs.  Thank you and you also for wanting to reading my blog.
+
+## Mine currently working
+
+I am now plan to using matterbridge software to connecting Matrix and Discord.  I try to doing this similar to doing the Minetest Server and to using Guix Home functional package manager to doing that.
