Unable to launch docker daemon

I have downloaded docker and when I try to launch the docker daemon using the command, service docker daemon I am getting the below error message,

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service docker daemon

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job

I am already using service command. But the error message is still pointing me to use "service docker dameon" command, as if I am using a different command

Solution

  • you don't need the added daemon

    Try: sudo service docker start
