Hi, I am using an Amazon linux machine (p2). I have installed this docker version: Client: Version: 17.03.2-ce API version: 1.27 Go version: go1.7.5 Git commit: 7392c3b/17.03.2-ce Built: Wed Aug 9 22:45:09 2017 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 I’m not sure, but I think the issue started after killing a scree…

[image] 2479: sudo service docker status how about sudo service docker stop sudo service docker start

[image] sdetweil: sudo service docker stop It’s stuck after trying: sudo service docker stop

you will probably have to reboot the ec2 instance

and the docker ps returns the same error? if so, then sudo service docker start

[image] sdetweil: if so sudo docker ps gives the same error. sudo service docker start works (but does not print anything)

and then docker ps ?? service start command doesn’t usually show anything (for me)

docker ps gives (sudo service docker start) Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

ok, looks like some known error [image] Docker-Machine provisioned aws instance can not start docker engine Machine This worked for me. Thank you! use the docker-machine command…

I don’t see how this helps. I’m using nvidia-docker
