Question

how can I start docker in ubuntu?

Answer 1

A simple way to do this is to use the systemctl command:

$ sudo systemctl start docker

To check if your docker engine was started or not you can use this command:

$ sudo systemctl status docker

or you can also make use of the service command:

$ sudo service docker start

and check if its started or not using this command:

$ sudo service docker status
