Can't start the docker daemon (dockerd) in slackware 15

evening shadow · 10-15-2022, 06:05 PM

Hi

When I try to start the docker service by running

Code:

sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start

for some reason it won't work, it will just say "starting dockerd..." when it should say "starting dockerd... Done" instead, and it will give no error message, then when I try to run "docker run" with any image afterwards, it says it can't locate the apropriate socket and tells me to check if the daemon is running, which it isn't

I tried both with the slackbuild from slackbuilds.org and with the binary from alien's repo, and the result is the same

Any ideas of what might be happening?

Looking at https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/...nfig/rc.docker or http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...nfig/rc.docker (same content I think) I don't see where the "Done" should come from.
Have you tried running "/etc/rc.d/rc.docker status" or "docker ps -a" ?

I am having a problem similar to this too.

No matter what I do, the docker daemon just completely refuses to start, and the worst part is, I have no idea why it's doing it or why it refuses to tell me anything else as to why it doesn't want to start.

Code:

bash-5.1$ su
Password: 
bash-5.1# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.docker
bash-5.1# exit
exit
bash-5.1$ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start
Password: 
Starting dockerd ...
bash-5.1$ /etc/rc.d/rc.docker status
Status of dockerd: stopped
bash-5.1$ docker ps -a
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
bash-5.1$ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.docker restart
Stopping dockerd ... done
Starting dockerd ...
bash-5.1$ /etc/rc.d/rc.docker status
Status of dockerd: stopped
bash-5.1$ docker ps -a
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
bash-5.1$

This is a fresh install of docker from Alien's repo.
I am on slackware 15.0

Docker just completely refuses to start no matter what I do.
How do I figure out just why docker just refuses to start?

EDIT: Forget this post please. I was a derp and didn't notice in alien's blogpost that docker has dependencies

Hi,
Did you solve that problem? I had the same problem

Best regards

I think he means that he looked at the slack-required file in http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac.../docker/build/ and build the depencies first.

this is an old thread, you ought to open a new one, even if your case looks similar. Did you check those dependencies already? Did you check the logs of that docker daemon?

Some simple things make life easier.

1) install slpkg
2) enable alien repo in /etc/repositories.toml (15 or current)
3) slpkg -u (update slpkg)

Finaly slpkg -i docker -o alien
Or slpkg -ir docker -o alien (if you want to reinstall all)
Everything will be installed in correct order.
