exposing D-Bus services (not implemented yet)
why not, providing a D-Bus daemon replacement ?

{ok, Bus} = dbus_bus_connection:connect(session),       %% session | system
{ok, Proxy} = dbus_proxy:start_link(Bus, <<"org.freedesktop.DBus">>),
{ok, Id} = dbus_proxy:call(<<"org.freedesktop.DBus">>, <<"org.freedesktop.DBus">>, <<"GetId">>, []).
