I am working on Jetson Orin AGX, and I tried to modify the /etc/docker/daemon.json by adding "default-runtime": "nvidia" and after modifying this when I did sudo systemctl restart docker got the following

Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xeu docker.service" for details.

then when I check the service status I got the following

nvidia@ubuntu:/etc/docker$ systemctl status docker.service

and for sudo dockerd --debug I get the error message as follows

failed to start daemon: Error initializing network controller: error obtaining controller instance: failed to register "bridge" driver: unable to add return rule in DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-1 chain:  (iptables failed: iptables --wait -A DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-1 -j RETURN: iptables v1.8.7 (nf_tables):  RULE_APPEND failed (No such file or directory): rule in chain DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-1

I reloaded the daemon.josn using systemctl daemon-reload but the docker service did not start,can anyone help me resolve the issue?

these are the last two suspected updates that broken docker

Just happened to me after the morning update. Reinstall docker-ce:

sudo apt reinstall docker-ce

Fixed the problem for me.

Unfortunately, I reflash my device. Now the issue is resolved.

I had the same problem start on the 14th after updating docker on Orin Nano 6.0 DP. I tried sudo apt reinstall docker-ce but that didn’t help unfortunately. I’m going to start a thread on the Nvidia Developer Forums and reference this one.

Someone posted a fix in that thread that worked for me as well:

sudo update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
sudo apt reinstall docker-ce

Hi there

I also met this problem

Please check /etc/docker/ If there is file named daemon.json

sudo rm -f /etc/docker/daemon.json

and then try deleting it and again run

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

This way work for me
