Yes that is correct `docker build -t <tag> .` with a local docker daemon. > Dockder service is one of the services that extends > shepherd-root-service-type.

This is a nice feature. > So. You need a service that provisionts 'networking! It seems odd that a service does not take care of services it needs.

There is a lot in %desktop-services that I do not need on my system. I am also trying to explicitly state imports so that I can learn more about the parts of the Guix repository I am using. > Note also that you dont need to add packages to system configuration to > use them. You could just install it for your user profile.
