Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?錯誤及解決方式
前言
這是筆者在使用docker ps時所碰到的錯誤。
錯誤訊息
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
解決方式
參考這個stackoverflow上的問答，只要使用以下指令即可：
systemctl start docker
Control Docker with systemd這個頁面說到：
Once Docker is installed, you need to start the Docker daemon. Most Linux distributions use systemctl to start services. If you do not have systemctl, use the service command.
即：在Docker安裝完成後，必須啟動Docker daemon. 大多數的Linux發行版使用的是sudo systemctl start docker，如果這個指令無法使用，可以用sudo service docker start來替代。
至於systemctl是什麼呢？
在說明這個之前，我們必須先了解什麼是init system。
What is an init system?這篇文章中提到init system是在Fedora系統的kernel啟動後第一個運行的process。init system負責啟動所有必要的daemon, background process以及所有能讓OS正常運作的service。
而How To Use Systemctl to Manage Systemd Services and Units中則說到systemctl是一個管理init system的工具。我們可以用
systemctl start xxx
來啟動某個服務，用：
systemctl stop xxx
來關閉服務。
另外，如果希望某個服務在開機時就自動啟動，可以使用：
systemctl enable xxx
如果希望某個服務不要在開機時自動啟動：
systemctl disable xxx
並且可以用以下指令查看某個服務的狀態：
systemctl status xxx
以下是systemctl status docker的輸出：
