I think enabling the module would be better:

imports = [ inputs.winboat.nixosModules.${system}.default ];
services.winboat.enable = true;

This way docker, libvirtd and iptable_nat will be set up automatically.

We should probably also mention that virtualisation.docker.rootless needs to be disabled to avoid problems like in #171.
