docker Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code

Question

i spend more time to learn many posts here and out, but i don't find the solution, so i came here to ask :

i wanna run docker on manjaro linux OS (archlinux like)

uname -a
Linux boblinux-pc 4.1.15-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 15 07:48:44 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

after installing docker, i wanna start it :

sudo systemctl start docker
Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.socket failed to load: No such file or directory.

so i have this problem, so i did :

systemctl cat docker
# /etc/systemd/system/docker.service
[Unit]
Description=Docker Application Container Engine
Documentation=https://docs.docker.com
After=network.target docker.socket
Requires=docker.socket

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd:// --exec-opt native.cgroupdriver=cgroupf
MountFlags=slave
LimitNOFILE=1048576
LimitNPROC=1048576
LimitCORE=infinity

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/lxc.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker -d -e lxc
....

and i did :

systemctl cat docker.socket
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.socket
[Unit]
Description=Docker Socket for the API
PartOf=docker.service

[Socket]
ListenStream=/var/run/docker.sock
SocketMode=0660
SocketUser=root
SocketGroup=docker

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

ok so the installation seemms ok , so error message says me to execute this :

systemctl status docker.service

Answer 1

so, it was problem of manage users/groups,

i tryed with sudo to pull ubuntu with docker :

sudo docker pull ubuntu
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/ubuntu
fcee8bcfe180: Pull complete

Status: Downloaded newer image for ubuntu:latest

and here i try to run it, and it works ! :

sudo docker run -it --name ubuntu ubuntu
pass [sudo] de boblinux :
root@3a99cdd1c522:/# ls
bin   dev  home  lib64  mnt  proc  run   srv  tmp  var
boot  etc  lib   media  opt  root  sbin  sys  usr
root@3a99cdd1c522:/# exit
exit

Answer 2

I had faced the same problem, but the above solution did not help. I had to re-install docker to get this running back. This issue I suspect is I had resized (memory scaled up) the instance where docker was installed.
