`docker.service` fails to start

vesmanojlovic commented 1 year ago

Initial check.

[X] I added a very descriptive title above.
[X] I searched through the issues in this repository to find a similar problem, but didn't find any.
[X] I searched through Google (including the 2nd page of results) and didn't find any relevant information.
[ ] I asked ChatGPT for help but did not get any meaningful response.

Please describe what triggered the error.

Installing docker and attempting to start it on Arch Linux via systemd.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected a local Docker engine to start running.

What went wrong?

I need some more specifics:

What was your exact command that is failing?
How did you install Docker?
What has systemd to do with this?
Are other containers built for u normally?
Have u ever seen this error before?

@vesmanojlovic : There are also these instructions; how do they work for u?

vesmanojlovic commented 1 year ago

What was your exact command that is failing?

systemctl start docker.service is the main one, as running any docker command returns an error saying the service is not running.

How did you install Docker?

pacman -S docker

What has systemd to do with this?

It's the default system configuration software for Arch.

Are other containers built for u normally?

No, this is my first time trying docker. Clean install of docker following the official documentation.

Have u ever seen this error before?

Not outside this use case, but starting docker is the main issue so I suspect other containers would result in the same error.

I've tried reinstalling everything from scratch and restarting my laptop but got the same outcomes.

service is not running.

Well, yes, first you need to start the engine to be able to run any docker commands

Hmm, I've never worked on Arch, cannot say if the installation was correct or not...

starting docker is the main issue so I suspect other containers would result in the same error.

I think this is pretty critical, could you please check another container?
Could you please try my old data-analytic container and let me know how it went? Alternatively (if sth fails there), any other from DockerHub, ex: default miniconda3 would do.

I have just tried warlock myself on another machine with Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 and worked fine.

vesmanojlovic commented 1 year ago

So yeah, the problem is likely somewhere on my Arch laptop, and I haven't yet figured out what's up. Ran it fine yesterday in a virtual machine on my girlfriend's Windows laptop, and also on my office computer running Ubuntu today.

AngryMaciek commented 1 year ago

Alright, thats what I suspected, given the container builds and runs on the CI: https://github.com/AngryMaciek/warlock/actions/runs/4942368731/jobs/8835817398

I consider it closed then!
