How can I restart docker service using puppet...?

Question

Is there any way to restart docker service using puppet? I am using garathr/docker module to work with docker. I am manually copying some data to /var/lib/docker. So there is a need of restarting the docker service.

How can I do this.

Answer 1

service { 'docker':
  ensure    => running,
  subscribe => File['resource where you are copying some data to /var/lib/docker'],
}

I feel like there are more subtleties here, so please let me know what else is needed here.
