Docker failed to start after update/upgrade to newer version

Either I did a fresh installation of docker or updated the current version to a newer ones

Then started the service sudo systemctl start docker.service

Get the error:

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

I got some gotchas for you, it may not help but...

Try reboot your system ( if you using are on laptop, or personal machine )

Great! plain old. Have you try turn it off and on again. But the catch is it might work, restart is a way to let your machine to apply updated configuration.

Troubleshoot on system that is not yours ( DON'T BLINDLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET )

  • Take extra care. Please be careful here, it critical.
  • Save logs, as much as you can,
  • utitilze tools: ..- journalctl -xeu docker

-> then restart :))
