docker.service: failed to start and not found - docker

Im really at the beginning of diving into Linux world and its CLI, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this matter.
But what is my problem?
Im trying to install "docker" on my Synology DS418. Following this guide https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-arm-synology everything runs smoothly until I try to check if docker starts via
systemctl start docker
it reports
Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
When I run
systemctl status docker
it states
docker.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
This feels like the installation wasnt properly setup, am I correct? What can I do to start docker and run it correctly?

For all following readers with the same confusion: actually it seems that the docker.service is not needed in that case. With a lot of research I managed to install "portainer" via ssh in CLI, so docker works. Im kinda proud of myself that I did it all by myself, yay!
Thank you though for the help!

Docker under WSL without Docker Desktop

This is the question regarding running Docker from within WSL, without Docker Desktop. It is doable for WSL2, so the focus of this question is on WSL1 specifically. Of my researches,
Some says "the Docker daemon cannot run directly on WSL", while
Another article says Docker can be run "seamlessly in Windows Subsystem Linux", with the help of Docker Community Edition 17.09.0, as "A crucial change was made to the WSL kernel that enables the usage of cgroups which Docker needs to manage your system’s resources into containers."
My docker is 20.10.5 under debian bullseye. Would it be still good?
I tried it, and got:
iptables can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist
and the answer to Iptables v1.6.1 can't initialize iptables table `filter' Ubuntu 18.04 Bash Windows is that,
According to the Microsoft WSL page on github.com, iptables isn't supported.
https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/767
But that's more than 4 years ago, and since it has been possible later in year 2019, I'm wondering what the latest status is.
WSL1 - The little engine that could (link included since that reference may only be understood by a limited audience).
Unfortunately, in the case of Docker, the WSL1 engine seems to have run out of steam. In reading that blog post that you reference, and the corresponding Github thread, I'm pretty amazed at just how far along folks did get with running Docker. I had never seen that before.
However, if you read the full comments on the Github thread, it appears that the results were fairly limited. Placing these excerpts in order:
[2018-04-23] I'm glad to say Docker daemon finally runs on WSL. I'm testing on build 17134. ... The last docker-ce version that works right now on build 17134 is 17.09.0. Anything after that fails on extracting the docker images.
Note that it had to (and still has to) be run in a WSL1 instance running as a Windows admin.
[2018-0612] Unfortunately, docker-compose still doesn't work.... There is a problem with iptables which is not fully supported via WSL yet.
(Which you've run into, although I didn't see that. Perhaps the "admin" thing?)
[2018-07-09] Yeah, I recently mentioned it on Twitter and got a major "we aren't supporting this, we highly advise against it" message from our former WSL PM.
[2018-11-13] WSL PM here. As mentioned in the above comment, we have improved Docker support in recent builds of WSL. Most (if not all) versions of docker-ce work with WSL. We're working on a large set of changes for WSL currently. As part of those changes, we are looking at adding native Docker support in WSL. I will add to this thread and other issues on Docker support when I have additional updates to share
It doesn't seem like this ever progressed, since the PM never posted again in the thread, at least.
[2019-04-18] Like others have pointed out, running docker 17.09 works. Anything later fails with different errors. It might be that newer docker versions are using other syscalls not yet implemented by WSL.
There are some other messages scattered in here about running with --network host (for the client) or --iptables=false (for the daemon).
[2019-08-04] Windows Insider Fast Ring build (>=18917) via WSL2, latest docker/docker-compose is running native in WSL Linux.
And in late 2020, the thread died off.
In a test WSL1 Ubuntu 20.04 instance, I was able to get hello-world running, but nothing more. Running a busybox or ubuntu image (with or without an interactive terminal) failed with:
Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: waiting for init preliminary setup: EOF: unknown.
Once the focused shifted to WSL2 and the real kernel, it doesn't appear to me that the WSL team has made any more progress advancing WSL1's pseudo-kernel syscall translation layer.

I can't initialize docker on Windows 10

I installed docker version 20.10.11 on my Windows 10 home with build 19042, the installation was successful, but when running docker, the daemon was not started, so I manually installed wsl2 using this tutorial.
https://nlearn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
Now when executing any docker command via cli, it shows this message
"Server:
ERROR: error during connect: In the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker
client must be run with elevated privileges to connect.: Get
"http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/info": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The
system cannot find the specified file.
errors pretty printing info"
I've followed all the tutorials from this link
Docker cannot start on Windows, none of them worked.
When I open the Docker Desktop dashboard, it shows the message docker starting engineer, or something like that, it keeps initializing, but it never finishes initializing.
Virtualization is turned on, when I open processes I notice that docker.service is running and a process called Vmmem, when I look at all the services even the ones that are not running. There's only one, which is the Docker Desktop referring to the docker
Ps: I don't know other programs may be interfering with it, I have an oracle 18cxe database running on my machine, I don't know it's interfering with a network connection or something.
I would like to know how I can get an accurate log, to know what the problem really is, how do I trace this error?

Docker commands and setup running successfully yesterday started giving error "ENOENT" today suddenly on windows 10

I am relatively new for the docker technology.
Yesterday I setup docker on windows 10 machine and ran few dockers.
Today I first used command "docker system prune" so that I can run all of it once again without any conflicts.
But now I am firing below command:
docker run --name DockerName -v /c/collections:/etc/newman -t
postman/newman:ubuntu run
"MyAPITestCollection.postman_collection.json"
--environment="MyAPITestEnvironment.postman_environment.json" --reporters="json,cli" --reporter-json-export="reports/MyAPITestReport.json"
And getting below error:
error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'MyAPITestEnvironment.postman_environment.json'
I haven't made any changes to the directories or anything else.
I checked the docker desktop setup option and found that the drive on which the file is located is still showing as the shared drive.
I tried by restarting the docker desktop several times and once by rebooting the machine as well but still found same error.
Kindly requesting to help me figure out the root cause of this issue and the solution as well.
My docker network had once again become public so firewall might be preventing the file access.
I changed it to private by using below command and it ran successfully:
Set-NetConnectionProfile -interfacealias "vEthernet (DockerNAT)" -NetworkCategory Private

First run of Docker -- Running makeitopen.com's F8 App

I'm reading through makeitopen.com and want to run the F8 app.
The instructions say to install the following dependencies:
Yarn
Watchman
Docker
Docker Compose
I've run brew install on all of these, and none appeared to indicate that any of them had already been installed. I have not done any config or setup or anything on any of these new packages.
The next step is to run yarn server and here's what I got from that:
$ docker-compose up
ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?
If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
Not having any experience with any of these packages, I don't really know what to do (googling brings up so many different scenarios). What do I do now?
PS. Usually when I work with React Native I run npm start to start the expo-ready app, but the F8 project doesn't respond to npm start.
UPDATE (sort of):
I ran docker-compose up which appeared to run all the docker tasks, and I'm assuming the server is running (although I haven't tried yarn server again).
I continued with the instructions, installing dependencies with yarn (which did appear to throw some errors. quite a few, actually, but also a lot of success).
I then ran yarn ios, and after I put the Facebook SDK in the right folder on my computer, the XCode project opened.
The Xcode build failed. Surprise, right? It did make it through a lot of the tasks. But it can't find FBSDKShareKit/FBSDKShareKit.h (although that file does appear to exist in FBSDKShareKit/Headers/)
Any thoughts? Is there any way in the world I can just run this in expo?
If docker and docker-compose are installed properly, you either need root priviledges or use the docker group to add yourself:
usermod -aG docker your-username
Keep in mind, that all members of the docker usergroup de facto have root access on the host system. Its recommended to only add trusted users and keep precautionary measures to avoid abuse, but this is another topic.
When docker is not working properly, check if it's daemon is running and maybe restart the service:
# systemctl status docker
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2019-02-28 19:41:47 CET; 3 weeks 3 days ago
Then create the container again using docker-compose up.
Why a simple npm start doesn't work
The package.json file shows that those script exists, but it runs npm start. Looking at the docker-compose.yml file, we see that it creates 5 containers for it's mongo database as well as grapql and the frontend/backend. Without docker, it wouldn't be possible to set up a lot of services that fast. You'd need to install and configure them manually.
At the end your system may be messed up with software, when playing around with different software or developing for multiple open source projects. Docker is a great way to deploy modern applications with keeping them flexible and separated. It's worth to get started with those technology.

unable to run OpenFOAM docker image

I'm trying to use the OpenFOAM docker image. I installed everything correctly and when I try to run OpenFOAM_Start I get the error:
Started machines may have new IP addresses. You may need to re-run the docker-machine env command.
Error response from daemon: No such container: of_1712
Error: failed to start containers: of_1712
Error: No such container: of_1712
Stopping "default"...
Machine "default" was stopped.
Then I ran docker-machine env command and I got the error:
Error checking TLS connection: Host is not running
I would appreciate if you could help me know what is the problem and how I can solve it.
P.S. Hopefully this is not off-topic. Please let me know if I should ask this question in a different stackexchange.
I found the solution but I'm still not sure what the error above mean. As indicated in the OpenFOAM installation guide, right after installation of the docker image you should run the:
"OF_Create_Env"
shortcut on the Desktop. A shell will open and close automatically,
completing setup of the user working environment. This step is mandatory
only on the first occasion of OpenFOAM for Windows installation.
Then you can run OpenFOAM_Start again and it just works.
