October 12, 2025Oct 12 I know the Docker not starting issue is a common topic here and I've tried every single suggestion I could locate on the forums and beyond.I've had my Unraid box online for a few months now and on a couple of occasions the docker service refused to start. My usual fix was to delete the docker image and create a new one with a new path and it would usually come up after 1-2 attempts. However this time I'm unable to get it to start. Unfortunately the logs only show a seemingly generic:Oct 12 07:34:01 cube3 rc.docker: Starting Docker daemon...Oct 12 07:34:34 cube3 rc.docker: Docker daemon... Failed.No matter the format or location (BTRFS, XFS, Directory) I specify for my docker image, the docker service refuses to start with the same error.I've logged a support ticket but I urgently need to get my containers back online. Please see diag logs attached AND thanks in advance for the assist. anon-cube3-diagnostics-20251012-0740.zip
October 13, 2025Oct 13 Community Expert Solution Edit /config/docker.cfg on the flash drive and remove this line:DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 10.0.0.22# DW trying to fix DNS after the move to new router/subnet"Then try again.
October 15, 2025Oct 15 Author Thanks @JorgeB : i ended up cooking the whole docker.cfg and bouncing the box and it came up. Sincerely you appreciate you taking a look at this mate. Edited October 15, 2025Oct 15 by aktive
