Answer 1

If you stopped the service, you would need the following command to start it again:

$ sudo service docker start   # for work with SysVinit
$ sudo systemctl start docker # for work with Systemd

Also to stopped again, you might use:

$ sudo service docker stop   # for work with SysVinit
$ sudo systemctl stop docker # for work with Systemd
