docker-compose up ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon

[Shadowblitz16]

After following gdquest's tutorial here I ran into this issue when running docker-compose up..

ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localunixsocket - is it running?

If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

I checked my system manager and no godot instances are running there is no part in the video where he starts the docker

This is not a nakama-godot issue.

This is an issue with your docker configuration. What OS are you on?

[Shadowblitz16]

Zorin OS 15.3 which is a ubuntu based distro which gdquest was using

EDIT: here is my config..

Is the docker daemon started?

Run docker start (may need to sudo

You can test if it's started by running docker ps but your previous error messages suggests it's not.

https://youtu.be/r3T_ED281vU?t=394 in the video he says docker-compose up starts it so obliviously there is misinfomation

there is no part in the video where he starts the docker using that command

also

sudo docker start
[sudo] password for shadowblitz16:
"docker start" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker start --help'.

[jonbonazza]

Sorry that was my fault. It should be started using whatever servicine manager your os uses, such as

sudo service docker start Or sudo systemctl start docker

Etc...

Afaik docker-compose will not start the docker daemon itself.

[Shadowblitz16]

I don't know what service manager is. I was using zorin os 15.3

[jonbonazza]

I dont know anything about zorin. You can try both of fhe commands above and see if one of them works. If docket is running you should be able to run sudo docker ps and it should show nothing running

[Shadowblitz16]

ok well I will try this some time in the future when I get back into godot. right now I am trying out the beef language. for now I will close this.
