Error - Docker daemon

[dodopontocom]

Hello Reuter,
Firstly, thanks for this installation guide.

I have executed the instructions and in the end got that known error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

My steps were:
./install-arm64-devtools.sh
./compile-docker.sh 1.11.2
$cd /src/docker/bundles/1.11.2/dynbinary/
$sudo cp docker-1.11.2 /usr/sbin/
$sudo cp /etc/init.d/skeleton /etc/init.d/docker-1.11.2
edited the following line on file /etc/init.d/docker-1.11.2:
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/docker-1.11.2
$sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/docker-1.11.2
$sudo update-rc.d docker-1.11.2 defaults 97 03
*** Reboot the system ***
$sudo groupadd docker
$sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
$sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

Please, find below the output for each command:
$docker-1.11.2
(...)
update Update configuration of one or more containers
version Show the Docker version information
volume Manage Docker volumes
wait Block until a container stops, then print its exit code

Run 'docker COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.

Any thoughts on that??

Many thanks.

Maybe try to start the docker daemon in your shell, then you should get all logs directly. Add the flag "-D" to get more detailled debug logs.
