docker.service: failed to start and not found

Im really at the beginning of diving into Linux world and its CLI, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this matter. But what is my problem?

Im trying to install "docker" on my Synology DS418. Following this guide https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-arm-synology everything runs smoothly until I try to check if docker starts via

systemctl start docker

it reports

Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

When I run

systemctl status docker

it states

docker.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

This feels like the installation wasnt properly setup, am I correct? What can I do to start docker and run it correctly?

Solution

  • For all following readers with the same confusion: actually it seems that the docker.service is not needed in that case. With a lot of research I managed to install "portainer" via ssh in CLI, so docker works. Im kinda proud of myself that I did it all by myself, yay! Thank you though for the help!
