I have got the dockerd service working. I ran into many error messages along the way.
"guix system: error: service 'dockerd' requires 'networking', which is not provided by any service" This was solved with `dhpc-client-service-type`. "guix system: error: service 'dockerd' requires 'dbus-system', which is not provided by any service" This was solved with `dbus-service`. "guix system: error: service 'dockerd' requires 'elogind', which is not provided by any service" This was solved with `elogind-service-type`. I made these additions to my system configuration to get the dockerd service working. I added these imports: ``` ((gnu services dbus) #:select (dbus-service)) ((gnu services desktop) #:select (elogind-service-type)) ((gnu services docker) #:select (docker-service-type)) ((gnu services networking) #:select (dhcp-client-service-type)) ``` I added these to the services section of the operation system declaration: ``` (service dhcp-client-service-type) (dbus-service) (service elogind-service-type) (service docker-service-type) ``` Then I reconfigured the system. `sudo herd start dockerd` was not working. I restarted the computer and dockerd was working. Now `docker build -t <tag> .` is successful.
