Hi Adam,

You will also need the dockerd service in you system configuration, plus there is a known bug where a known module is not loaded by default. Should dockerd not start properly you will need to do the following:

sudo modprobe overlay
sudo herd restart dockerd

Good luck,

John

you don't need to install the package, you just need to configure your
service (packages will be automatically installed in the system profile)

The documentation is here:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Miscellaneous-Services

This is what I did in my config.scm: 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

[...]
  (services
    (append
     (list 
[...]

	   (service ntp-service-type) ;; clock **must** be in sysc

	   (elogind-service) ;; needed by docker-service
	   (dbus-service) ;; needed by docker-service
           (service docker-service-type)
[...]

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Clock must be in sync in general, I don't remember if this is also a
requirement for docker (probably not, but it was for sure for other
services)

HTH! Gio'
