No, this would load the (gnu) module and the non-existant (docker)
module. If we had a (docker) module this still wouldn’t do what you
want, as it would only make code available.
Please take a look at the Guix manual. In section “8.8.31 Miscellaneous
Services” there is a heading “Docker Service” (I found this by hitting
“i” for “index” in my Info reader, followed by “docker”). It says this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The ‘(gnu services docker)’ module provides the following services.
-- Scheme Variable: docker-service-type
This is the type of the service that runs Docker
(https://www.docker.com), a daemon that can execute application
bundles (sometimes referred to as “containers”) in isolated
environments.
-- Data Type: docker-configuration
This is the data type representing the configuration of Docker and
Containerd.
‘package’ (default: ‘docker’)
The Docker package to use.
‘containerd’ (default: CONTAINERD)
The Containerd package to use.
‘proxy’ (default DOCKER-LIBNETWORK-CMD-PROXY)
The Docker user-land networking proxy package to use.
‘enable-proxy?’ (default ‘#f’)
Enable or disable the use of the Docker user-land networking
proxy.
‘debug?’ (default ‘#f’)
Enable or disable debug output.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is from a section on system services, so you’ll need to add
something like this to your configuration file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu services docker))
…
(operating-system
…
(services (cons* (service …)
(service …)
…
(service docker-service-type
(docker-configuration
(debug? #t)))
…))
…)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If you don’t need any extra configuration “(service
docker-service-type)” should be sufficient.
