I spent an entire day attempting to get Docker installed, but I think there's something with my system preventing it from being installed and configured properly. Here's the specifications of Docker I'm trying to install, my Ubuntu system, and what I've tried...
Specs:
- Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
- Codename: Focal
- Docker version 20.10.5, build 55c4c88
What I've tried:
I've followed the documentation for installation that Docker provides (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/). I've tried every method listed and always get to the point where I believe Docker was installed, but it always fails to start. When running journalctl -xe I find that it gets an error "Failed to start Docker Application Container Engine."
When going through the "Install Using Repository" method listed by Docker, when I run sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io I receive the output provided below...
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript docker, action "start" failed.

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

I've also tried running sudo dockerd and when I run that command I receive this output...

Apologies on the poor formatting... If anyone has tips that would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if there's some log / code that would be helpful for troubleshooting!
