Start docker error on Antergos (Arch Linux)

Question

I have installed docker on Antergos (Arch Linux) and followed this guide: https://gist.github.com/simonhoye/3b7312c05a449cd9073f9dc9265f5213

But when I execute sudo sysytemctl start docker I get this error:

Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

And this is the systemctl status docker.service command:

docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine

   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2019-01-17 16:28:01 CET; 5s ago

I have not idea what is happening... Because the guide and the steps to follow are very simple.

Answer 1

it can be due to many reason so I am listing some common one's

• look inside /var/log/syslog for more info.
• If you remove /var/lib/docker , you'll lose existing images but it works for many people
  • Doing so simply wipes all your docker data, and is the equivalent to a "factory reset".
• it can also be due to missing kernel module aufs
• deleting the /var/run/docker.sock directory that had been created presumably as the docker service was shutting down
