Hello Guix!

I'd like to use the docker-service-type so I added this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service docker-service-type)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to my config.scm but if I try to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I get this error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix system: error: service 'dockerd' requires 'dbus-system', which is not provided by any service
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What do I miss plz?

Thanks! Gio'

I had to install also elogind and dbus services:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-service-modules [...] desktop dbus docker)

[...]
  
(elogind-service) ;; needed by docker-service, in desktop service-module
(dbus-service) ;; needed by docker-service, in dbus service-module
(service docker-service-type)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do we need to add a note on the manual or is a bug in
docker-service-type (in that case I'm willing to open the bug report)?

Thanks! Gio'

A note in the manual would probably be enough. I also came across this
when I was trying to use docker in a VM.
