Installing Docker so that `docker pull` works in a standard way

Is it possible to install docker so that pulling base images from public repositories works normallly?
I’ve got a bunch of dockerfiles I need to work with and it’s not feasable for me to convert all of them to nix derivations.

I had no problem using docker after enabling it (virtualisation.docker.enable) in my system configuration.

Also I added "docker" to corresponding users users.users.<name>.extraGroups.

So what exact issues are you facing?

Sorry, I must have made a typo and then the light googling I did suggested that docker installation disables standard container registry somehow. After retry everything works fine.
