I am very new to the docker when try to run docker info it gives me following error.
$ docker info FATA[0000] Get http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.17/info: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS? I am using ubuntu 14.04. I followed the installation istructions mentioned on https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/#installing-docker-on-ubuntu
But I'm still getting the error. How can I fix this?

sock is basically the Unix socket the Docker daemon listens on by default. It is also a tool used to communicate with the Docker daemon from within a container. Sometimes, containers need to bind mount the /var/run/docker.
Docker supports using TLS certificates (both on the server and the client) to provide proof of identity. When set up correctly it will only allow clients/servers with a certificate signed by a specific CA to talk to eachother.
The operating-system independent way to check whether Docker is running is to ask Docker, using the docker info command. You can also use operating system utilities, such as sudo systemctl is-active docker or sudo status docker or sudo service docker status , or checking the service status using Windows utilities.
This error occurred because I didn't restart my computer after installing docker. Now the above command is working for me.

This is because the docker service is not automatically started after an install.
You can start the docker service in Ubuntu and its derivatives (looking at you Linux Mint) by typing:
sudo service docker start To check that docker started, this file should exist:
ls -la /var/run/docker.sock If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
