When I try to kill the Docker daemon by:
docker kill $(docker ps -q)
I get the following error:
Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: cf5fc4b0e5d1: Cannot kill container cf5fc4b0e5d152a7a89682d8835c40c59e9e0c2c41be4aae330ffeb8093814f2: connection error: desc = "transport: dial unix:///var/run/docker/containerd/docker-containerd.sock: timeout": unknown

When I try to stop the Docker daemon by:
docker stop $(docker ps -q)
I get this error:

What is the proper way to stop the Docker daemon?
You need to stop the Docker daemon first and then start it.
To stop the Docker daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/docker stop
To start the Docker daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/docker start
This will reset Docker, after which all the commands should work properly.
If the above commands do not work, then just reboot:
sudo reboot
For macOS users: if you get the macOS equivalent:
ERROR: dial unix docker.raw.sock: connect: connection refused
You can restart Docker with the following:
I would suggest to run systemctl status docker
and then either:
systemctl stop docker
systemctl start docker
Then verify whether docker daemon is up correctly or not with systemctl status docker
.
