Hello,
I wanted to use docker instead of cross-compiling for a LEGO mindstorm project. I followed the install instructions which ran smoothly. The hello world script run as supposed to be. Then, I went on with the Linux postinstallation steps. When doing step “Use a different storage engine”, I was asked to change /etc/docker/daemon.json and because this did not deliver the wanted result, I was asked to edit docker.service. This file was empty and I included the suggested lines. Now docker did not run at all and after changing the file again and again, I was not able to get it working. So, I reinstalled docker. The hello script did not work. I then decided to delete /var/lib/docker and go through the whole installation again. It always created an empty /var/lib/docker folder, but I could not start docker again. Stupid as I am, I did not make a backup of the /var/lib/docker folder. And now I am stuck with a non working version on my Fedora machine, although knowing it seemed to work fine before tempering with the docker.service.
Does anyone know how to completely remove docker and build it completely from scratch?
When restarting the docker.service, I get the following error:
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status docker.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
when running systemctl status docker.service, I get:
