Looks like Docker isn't running. Start Docker first.
What’s the command? I tried google but couldn’t find
Try running “systemctl status docker” to check if docker is running.
According to your screenshot, you’re logged in as root, so you don’t need to preface any commands with “sudo.”
Dietpi is using systemd, so what happens when you try to restart docker manually?
I find digital ocean’s tutorials on basic Linux usage to be pretty helpful for people with little background knowledge (like me).
sudo systemctl start docker?
Yes, that’s the command to start a service with systemd.
Although as I mentioned, you’re logged in as root, so you don’t need sudo.
Sudo is needed when you’re logged in as a user that isn’t root, but you want to run a command that requires the privileges of a root user.
