(SOLVED) Docker Service failed to start error

Featured Replies

I have my server start the parity check at 3am on the 1st of the month.   My server had stopped responding when I got up today.   I wasn't able to ssh into it.   Bring up the web interface or anything.   I resorted to a reboot.  Once I rebooted, it started without the docker.    On the docker tab it shows "Docker Service failed to start."

 

Unraid 6.12.6

h/w: Supermicro X8SIL, Xeon  x3470, 32 GiB DDR3 Single-bit ECC, WD 8TB, HItachi 1TB, Toshiba 3TB, WD 8TB parity, SPCC 256gb cache

 

 

I noticed a couple BTRFS errors for loop2 in the log from the main Unraid page.  

 

This post below  looks promising but I don't understand enough to know if that would fix it or worsen it.  Also I started the parity check again so I wasn't sure if I should let it finish before I start trying to get the docker back or if I can stop the parity check without issues.

 

 

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thank you

Thank you for the help with this.  Following the links was easy to recreate the docker.img

 

One note,  I had a custom network for a couple of the docker apps.   When the app was restored it listed the custom network as "none".    The next section from the second link discusses the custom networks.  What I ended up doing was before I started the app again I made sure to  create the custom network again.  I then updated/edited the container to use the custom network in the app settings.     Once changed, the app worked like before.
