I am new here and I've been trying to install docker on Ubuntu but I have no clue where this error is coming from.
I followed the installation instruction for Ubuntu on Docker website, and everything is installed, except that running docker gives me an error message that says "docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'."
This is Ubuntu Bionix 18.04, and my laptop runs on Windows.
I tried running docker with "sudo service docker restart", but when I check the status with "sudo service docker status" after the restart command, it says Docker is not running.

Your docker daemon is not running, run it by executing sudo systemctl start docker
I'm running https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkinsci/blueocean/ in docker. Trying to build a docker image in jenkins.
but i get the following error:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
clearly the jenkins version in docker does not have access to the docker binary.
I confirmed this by,
docker exec -it db4292380977 bash
docker images
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
"db4292380977" is the running container. It shows the same error.
Question:
how do I allow access to docker in the jenkins container?
The docker client is installed on the jenkinsci/blueocean image, but not the daemon. Docker client will use the daemon (by default via the socket unix:///var/run/docker.sock). Docker client needs a Docker daemon in order to work, you can read Docker Architecture for more info.
What you can do:
Use docker-in-docker (DinD) image
Library Docker image provides a way to run a Docker daemon in Docker, you can then use it from another container. For example, using plain docker CLI:
docker run --name docker-dind --privileged -d docker:stable-dind
docker run --name jenkins --link=docker-dind -d jenkinsci/blueocean
docker exec jenkins docker -H docker-dind images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
Docker daemon runs in docker-dind container and can be reached using the same hostname. You just need to provide the docker client with the daemon host (-H docker-dind in the example, you can also use DOCKER_HOST env variable as described in the doc).
Mount host machine /var/run/docker.sock in your container
As described by #Herman Garcia answer:
docker run -p 8080:8080 --user root \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkinsci/blueocean
You need to mount your local /var/run/docker.sock and run the container as root user
NOTE: this might be a security flaw so be careful who has access to the jenkins container
docker run -p 8080:8080 --user root \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkinsci/blueocean
you will be able to execute docker inside the container
➜ ~ docker exec -it gracious_agnesi bash

Just only try to do the same command but with sudo in the beginning
For example
sudo docker images
sudo docker exec -it db4292380977 bash
To avoid use sudo in the future you should run this command in Unix O.S
sudo usermod -aG docker <your-user>
Change for the user that you are using at this moment. Remember to log out and back in for this to take effect! More information about Docker installation click here
I got the following error when I run docker. Does anybody know how to fix the problem. The OS is Mac OS X.
$ docker --version
Docker version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6
$ docker run hello-world
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See 'docker run --help'.
You can restart Docker with the following
Stop Docker for Mac gracefully
Stop all Docker containers without confirmation (make sure nothing is running in Docker)
docker ps -q | xargs -L1 docker stop
Requires all Docker containers are stopped
test -z "$(docker ps -q 2>/dev/null)" && osascript -e 'quit app "Docker"'
Start Docker gracefully
open --background -a Docker
I just found out that I have to restart my docker desktop as well. I had no idea that docker desktop and terminal's docker command are related. But now, apparently, they are related. If anyone encounters similar problems, remember to try restart your docker desktop and wait for it to get running!
I have a simple Ubuntu 16.10 container which has docker.io installed.
The docker process terminates after it starts and log has this information. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Why do you want to run docker within docker container?
Docker-in-Docker is developed to help docker development. And it needs --privileged flag to run docker container.(Please read jpetazzo's blog here.)
If you really want to execute docker in docker container, you also have other options.
Bind mount docker.sock. Some people call this DooD(Docker-outside-of-Docker)
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...
Install docker(client) and specify DOCKER_HOST to access remote docker daemon. Be careful about socket protection with certificates.
Are you running docker as sudo if not run as sudo or
Else add user group to docker
docker group. For this run following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
The answer was simple.
docker run -it --privileged --name dcos-ubuntu-python5 python-docker /bin/bash
