What would be a good way to share files from a Guix System in a domestic environment to any device on the local network (mobiles, TVs, Winds and Macs)?

In «GNOME Settings → Sharing» I see two options, but trying out the «Media Sharing» option (which focuses on image, audio and video) doesn't work.

GNOME Help says you have to install Rygel for this to work. But even though I have that package in my Guix system configuration, sharing still doesn't work as intended.

And I don't see any rygel service (system or home) in Guix documentation. So I guess this is just a missing integration in Guix System (?)

Launching rygel manually from a terminal does activate file sharing, but that doesn't feel ergonomic (compared to Debian, where this feature just works).

Ideally, I'd like other people in the network to easily find the shared files in their file browsers or directly in their multimedia applications. Sharing any kind of file would be nice, not just media files.

@lxfx I had the same experience with having to start rygel manually. Probably something we can fix, please feel free to open an issue :)

Gnome Media Sharing (rygel) not working out of the box

On Guix System, using Gnome, toggling `Settings -> Sharing -> Media Sharing -> On` does not actually work out of the box. Under the hood, Gnome uses `rygel` to implement this type o...
