Hi My dockerd is not starting on Centos 7.4 via Systemd
I am using Docker version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6 on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core).
Docker was installed from the stable yum repo.
It has worked, but seemed to fail recently with the following error:
sudo systemctl start docker
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
systemctl status docker.service

I can successfully start dockerd from the command line, and it will start the containers successfully, there appears to be some issue with the standard systemd startup script, I would very much appreciate some help in how I might debug/solve this.
