I followed the guide on Ubuntu | Docker Docs for installing docker on ubuntu 17.04, The docker command installed but the daemon wont run.

▸ sudo service docker start                                                                                    
[sudo] password for user: 
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
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine

Not sure what to do from here. Couldn’t find any answers online. I can run docker from my terminal but I get

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

Anyone have any ideas what I could try to get this working?

I have probably a similar or the same issue: Cannot install docker on fresh Ubuntu 17 Server, docker is missing permissions to operate in /var/lib/docker
