Issue

Over the last few days, I’ve updated my dietpi version from Stretch to Buster and finally to Bullseye. Everything there went fine.

I was having trouble with Docker, so I unistalled completely and reinstalled (several times), but no mater what I try, I keep getting this msg:

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

How should I go about debugging this issue? Thanks!

Joulinar · 30 May 2024 19:23

did you already checked if docker.socket is running

systemctl status docker.socket

michaelb1103 · 3 June 2024 16:51

I will try this as soon as I fix my ssh issue

michaelb1103 · 3 June 2024 18:27

Okay, it looks like docker.socket is not running. Something about service start limit hit:

root@DietPi:~# systemctl status docker.socket
● docker.socket - Docker Socket for the API
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Joulinar · 3 June 2024 18:37

Can you try to restart the socket

systemctl restart docker.socket

And check system logs

journalctl -u docker.socket

michaelb1103 · 3 June 2024 19:12

Here are the results:

root@DietPi:~# systemctl restart docker.socket
root@DietPi:~# journalctl -u docker.socket

Look like socket is working fine now

I think I’m back to where I started. I’ve been attempting to install Roon Extension Manager, but I alway end up with an error related to container creation. Initially, I had some Docker errors at the process crapped out almost immediately. Now, it takes quite awhile (~5min) before it fails. I’ve tried to install a few different ways, but the results are similar to this (very long) process:

Socket is not working again?

michaelb1103 · 4 June 2024 15:17

Correct

root@DietPi:~# systemctl status docker.socket

I did another systemctl restart docker.socket and continue to see this log:

docker.socket: Failed with result 'service-start-limit-hit'.

And in status, Triggers: docker.service still has a red dot, which I assume is an error.

Joulinar · 4 June 2024 15:41

the system has been rebooted already, right?

some further tips from the web docker.socket failed with result service-start-limit-hit | Troubleshooting tip

michaelb1103 · 4 June 2024 15:54

Yes, I’ve rebooted several times too. I’ll check out the link you shared and see where that takes me.

Thank you!

MichaIng · 4 June 2024 18:40

I think, the activation socket is not the issue, but the Docker daemon itself failing to start or taking too long. And I think the reason is that Linux 3.10 is too old for recent Docker versions to function.

Check the logs:

Joulinar · 4 June 2024 19:01

Uhhh I overlooked that one. Yes kernel 3.x is quite to old for running Docker.

MichaIng · 4 June 2024 19:05

Right, Docker requires cgroup v2, introduced with Linux 3.16.

But can you try the following:

G_CONFIG_INJECT '"exec-opts":' '    "exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=cgroupfs"],' /etc/docker/daemon.json '^\{([[:space:]]|$)'
systemctl restart docker
sleep 5
journalctl -u docker

This should make Docker use its internal cgroup management, instead of cgroup v2. Let’s see whether this helps.

michaelb1103 · 4 June 2024 19:42

Okay, here’s the output after following these instructions:

G_CONFIG_INJECT '"exec-opts":' '    "exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=cgroupfs"], /etc/docker/daemon.json '^\{([[:space:]]|$)'
systemctl restart docker
sleep 5
journalctl -u docker

I guess my final questions are:

Is it possible/worthwhile to update my linux kernel?
Is there an older Docker version that will run on my existing setup?
Would I need to downgrade to Buster, etc to do either?

Thanks again for all your help!

probably not

probably yes. But I’m not sure which one would work

can be done if you would have a backup from before doing the Debian upgrade
