I’m panicking. My homeassistant, homebridge is there and stupid me never backed it up. I copied and pasted “ sudo docker start portainer” on the dietpi terminal and got


Am I SOL? Thank you

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.”

If I delete and reinstall docker will all my portainers stay? Thank you

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.
