Overview

AAGL on Guix provides Guix packages for an-anime-team launchers using an FHS-compatible container, similar to how Steam is packaged in nonguix.

Substitute server is currently WIP.

Configure the hosts service

For Guix System users: Add aagl-hosts-service-type to your system configuration to block telemetry servers. This is required for the launchers to work properly. First time you will still get a warning that hosts blocking is required.

For other distributions: Launcher will attempt to configure hosts blocking automatically. If this fails, follow the official documentation for your specific launcher on blocking telemetry.

Guix System configuration example:

  (use-modules (aagl services hosts))
  ;; or just (use-modules (aagl))

  (operating-system
    ;; ...
    (services
     (cons* (service aagl-hosts-service-type)
            ;; ...
            %desktop-services)))

Using the packages

Load the module defining the packages, then add them to a manifest/configuration or just install.

• Module (aagl) provides all of the packages.

• Module (aagl packages honkers-railway) provides:

  • the-honkers-railway-launcher
  • the-honkers-railway-launcher-nvidia

• Module (aagl packages anime-game) provides:

  • an-anime-game-launcher
  • an-anime-game-launcher-nvidia

• Module (aagl packages sleepy) provides:

  • sleepy-launcher
  • sleepy-launcher-nvidia

• Module (aagl packages honkers) provides:

  • honkers-launcher
  • honkers-launcher-nvidia

Sandboxing behavior

Launchers run inside an isolated FHS container. The container uses a sandboxed HOME directory:

/home/<user>/.local/share/guix-sandbox-home/

If you need to share a path to container, you can add it to GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES environment variable.
