Struggling to get Docker working on Raspberry Pi 3 inside LIbreelec

Hi everyone,

I’m seriously unqualified in almost every aspect of linux and Raspberry Pi command lines.

But I’m trying.

I’ve gotten Docker installed via the repo in Libreelec running on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

So that’s good.

I get this reply when I run docker -H 0.0.0.0:2375 run hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (arm32v7)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:
 https://hub.docker.com/

HOWEVER, when I try to install anything from Docker, particularly Transmission, this happens:

docker pull linuxserver/transmission
Using default tag: latest
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

I modified the docker file to include -H 0.0.0.0:2375 as suggested, but nothing I do other than the hello-world command gets me that error.

Running systemctl status docker.service gives me this

I am at a total loss as to what to do here, I would love any help.

I’ve seen suggestions of commands such as usermod (which doesn’t exist on Libreelec) and others that just bring me nowhere. Due to specific requirements, I need to boot into libreelec (it’s the only thing that works to display my 3D movie files that I have ripped from my 3D blu rays, Kodi just doesn’t work) so I also need to get transmission working properly within this environment due to that.

Thanks in advance.
