Docker service starts on boot by default. To automatically start Docker and
containerd on boot for other Linux distributions using systemd, run the
following commands:
```console ```console
$ sudo systemctl enable docker.service $ sudo systemctl enable docker.service
$ sudo systemctl enable containerd.service $ sudo systemctl enable containerd.service
``` ```

## Enable IPv6 on the Docker daemon ## Enable IPv6 on the Docker daemon
To enable IPv6 on the Docker daemon, see To enable IPv6 on the Docker daemon, see
[Enable IPv6 support](../../config/daemon/ipv6.md). [Enable IPv6 support](../../config/daemon/ipv6.md).
## Troubleshooting
### Kernel compatibility
Docker cannot run correctly if your kernel is older than version 3.10 or if it
is missing some modules. To check kernel compatibility, you can download and
run the [`check-config.sh`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/docker/master/contrib/check-config.sh)
script.
```console
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/docker/master/contrib/check-config.sh > check-config.sh
$ bash ./check-config.sh
```
The script only works on Linux, not macOS.
### `Cannot connect to the Docker daemon`
If you see an error such as the following, your Docker client may be configured
to connect to a Docker daemon on a different host, and that host may not be
reachable.
```none
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker daemon' running on this host?
```
To see which host your client is configured to connect to, check the value of
the `DOCKER_HOST` variable in your environment.
```console
$ env | grep DOCKER_HOST
```
If this command returns a value, the Docker client is set to connect to a
Docker daemon running on that host. If it is unset, the Docker client is set to
connect to the Docker daemon running on the local host. If it is set in error,
use the following command to unset it:
```console
$ unset DOCKER_HOST
```
You may need to edit your environment in files such as `~/.bashrc` or
`~/.profile` to prevent the `DOCKER_HOST` variable from being set
erroneously.
If `DOCKER_HOST` is set as intended, verify that the Docker daemon is running
on the remote host and that a firewall or network outage is not preventing you
from connecting.
### IP forwarding problems
If you manually configure your network using `systemd-network` with `systemd`
version 219 or higher, Docker containers may not be able to access your network.
Beginning with `systemd` version 220, the forwarding setting for a given network
(`net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.forwarding`) defaults to *off*. This setting
prevents IP forwarding. It also conflicts with Docker's behavior of enabling
the `net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding` setting within containers.
To work around this on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora, edit the `<interface>.network`
file in `/usr/lib/systemd/network/` on your Docker host
(ex: `/usr/lib/systemd/network/80-container-host0.network`) and add the
following block within the `[Network]` section.
```systemd
[Network]
...
IPForward=kernel
# OR
IPForward=true
```
This configuration allows IP forwarding from the container as expected.
### `DNS resolver found in resolv.conf and containers can't use it`
Linux systems which use a GUI often have a network manager running, which uses a
`dnsmasq` instance running on a loopback address such as `127.0.0.1` or
`127.0.1.1` to cache DNS requests, and adds this entry to
`/etc/resolv.conf`. The `dnsmasq` service speeds up
DNS look-ups and also provides DHCP services. This configuration does not work
within a Docker container which has its own network namespace, because
the Docker container resolves loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1` to
**itself**, and it is very unlikely to be running a DNS server on its own
loopback address.
If Docker detects that no DNS server referenced in `/etc/resolv.conf` is a fully
functional DNS server, the following warning occurs and Docker uses the public
DNS servers provided by Google at `8.8.8.8` and `8.8.4.4` for DNS resolution.
```none
WARNING: Local (127.0.0.1) DNS resolver found in resolv.conf and containers
can't use it. Using default external servers : [8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4]
```
If you see this warning, first check to see if you use `dnsmasq`:
```console
$ ps aux |grep dnsmasq
```
If your container needs to resolve hosts which are internal to your network, the
public nameservers are not adequate. You have two choices:
- You can specify a DNS server for Docker to use, **or**
- You can disable `dnsmasq` in NetworkManager. If you do this, NetworkManager
adds your true DNS nameserver to `/etc/resolv.conf`, but you lose the
possible benefits of `dnsmasq`.
**You only need to use one of these methods.**
### Specify DNS servers for Docker
The default location of the configuration file is `/etc/docker/daemon.json`. You
can change the location of the configuration file using the `--config-file`
daemon flag. The documentation below assumes the configuration file is located
at `/etc/docker/daemon.json`.
1. Create or edit the Docker daemon configuration file, which defaults to
`/etc/docker/daemon.json` file, which controls the Docker daemon
configuration.
```console
$ sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
```
2. Add a `dns` key with one or more IP addresses as values. If the file has
existing contents, you only need to add or edit the `dns` line.
```json
{
"dns": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
}
```
If your internal DNS server cannot resolve public IP addresses, include at
least one DNS server which can, so that you can connect to Docker Hub and so
that your containers can resolve internet domain names.
Save and close the file.
3. Restart the Docker daemon.
```console
$ sudo service docker restart
```
4. Verify that Docker can resolve external IP addresses by trying to pull an
image:
```console
$ docker pull hello-world
```
5. If necessary, verify that Docker containers can resolve an internal hostname
by pinging it.
```console
$ docker run --rm -it alpine ping -c4 <my_internal_host>
PING google.com (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=0 ttl=41 time=7.597 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=1 ttl=41 time=7.635 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=2 ttl=41 time=7.660 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=3 ttl=41 time=7.677 ms
```
#### Disable `dnsmasq`
##### Ubuntu
If you prefer not to change the Docker daemon's configuration to use a specific
IP address, follow these instructions to disable `dnsmasq` in NetworkManager.
1. Edit the `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf` file.
2. Comment out the `dns=dnsmasq` line by adding a `#` character to the beginning
of the line.
```none
# dns=dnsmasq
```
Save and close the file.
3. Restart both NetworkManager and Docker. As an alternative, you can reboot
your system.
```console
$ sudo systemctl restart network-manager
$ sudo systemctl restart docker
```
##### RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora
To disable `dnsmasq` on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora:
1. Disable the `dnsmasq` service:
```console
$ sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
$ sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
```
2. Configure the DNS servers manually using the
[Red Hat documentation](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}.
### Allow access to the remote API through a firewall
If you run a firewall on the same host as you run Docker and you want to access
the Docker Remote API from another host and remote access is enabled, you need
to configure your firewall to allow incoming connections on the Docker port,
which defaults to `2376` if TLS encrypted transport is enabled or `2375`
otherwise.
Two common firewall daemons are
[UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW) (often
used for Ubuntu systems) and [firewalld](https://firewalld.org) (often used
for RPM-based systems). Consult the documentation for your OS and firewall, but
the following information might help you get started. These options are fairly
permissive and you may want to use a different configuration that locks your
system down more.
- **UFW**: Set `DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT"` in your configuration.
- **firewalld**: Add rules similar to the following to your policy (one for
incoming requests and one for outgoing requests). Be sure the interface names
and chain names are correct.
```xml
<direct>
[ <rule ipv="ipv6" table="filter" chain="FORWARD_direct" priority="0"> -i zt0 -j ACCEPT </rule> ]
[ <rule ipv="ipv6" table="filter" chain="FORWARD_direct" priority="0"> -o zt0 -j ACCEPT </rule> ]
</direct>
```
### `Your kernel does not support cgroup swap limit capabilities`
On Ubuntu or Debian hosts, You may see messages similar to the following when
working with an image.
```none
WARNING: Your kernel does not support swap limit capabilities. Limitation discarded.
```
This warning does not occur on RPM-based systems, which enable these
capabilities by default.
If you don't need these capabilities, you can ignore the warning. You can enable
these capabilities on Ubuntu or Debian by following these instructions. Memory
and swap accounting incur an overhead of about 1% of the total available memory

Diagnose and resolve error messages related to the Docker Engine installation
keywords: Docker Engine, troubleshooting, error, Linux

This page contains instructions for troubleshooting and diagnosing the Docker
Engine installation.
## Kernel compatibility
Docker can't run correctly if your kernel is older than version 3.10, or if it's
missing kernel modules. To check kernel compatibility, you can download and run
the
[`check-config.sh`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/docker/master/contrib/check-config.sh)
script.
```console
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/docker/master/contrib/check-config.sh > check-config.sh
$ bash ./check-config.sh
```
The script only works on Linux.
## Unable to connect to the Docker daemon
```none
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker daemon' running on this host?
```
This error may indicate:
- The Docker daemon isn't running on your system. Start the daemon and try
running the command again.
- Your Docker client is attempting to connect to a Docker daemon on a different
host, and that host is unreachable.
To see which host your client is connecting to, check the value of the
`DOCKER_HOST` variable in your environment.
```console
$ env | grep DOCKER_HOST
```
If this command returns a value, the Docker client is set to connect to a Docker
daemon running on that host. If it's unset, the Docker client is set to connect
to the Docker daemon running on the local host. If it's set in error, use the
following command to unset it:
```console
$ unset DOCKER_HOST
```
You may need to edit your environment in files such as `~/.bashrc` or
`~/.profile` to prevent the `DOCKER_HOST` variable from being set erroneously.
If `DOCKER_HOST` is set as intended, verify that the Docker daemon is running on
the remote host and that a firewall or network outage isn't preventing you from
connecting.
## IP forwarding problems
If you manually configure your network using `systemd-network` with systemd
version 219 or later, Docker containers may not be able to access your network.
Beginning with systemd version 220, the forwarding setting for a given network
(`net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.forwarding`) defaults to off. This setting prevents
IP forwarding. It also conflicts with Docker's behavior of enabling the
`net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding` setting within containers.
To work around this on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora, edit the `<interface>.network`
file in `/usr/lib/systemd/network/` on your Docker host, for example,
`/usr/lib/systemd/network/80-container-host0.network`.
Add the following block within the `[Network]` section.
```systemd
[Network]
...
IPForward=kernel
# OR
IPForward=true
```
This configuration allows IP forwarding from the container as expected.
## DNS resolver issues
```console
DNS resolver found in resolv.conf and containers can't use it
```
Linux desktop environments often have a network manager program running, that
uses `dnsmasq` to cache DNS requests by adding them to `/etc/resolv.conf`. The
`dnsmasq` instance runs on a loopback address such as `127.0.0.1` or
`127.0.1.1`. It speeds up DNS look-ups and provides DHCP services. Such a
configuration doesn't work within a Docker container. The Docker container uses
its own network namespace, and resolves loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1`
to itself, and it's unlikely to be running a DNS server on its own loopback
address.
If Docker detects that no DNS server referenced in `/etc/resolv.conf` is a fully
functional DNS server, the following warning occurs:
```none
WARNING: Local (127.0.0.1) DNS resolver found in resolv.conf and containers
can't use it. Using default external servers : [8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4]
```
If you see this warning, first check to see if you use `dnsmasq`:
```console
$ ps aux | grep dnsmasq
```
If your container needs to resolve hosts which are internal to your network, the
public nameservers aren't adequate. You have two choices:
- Specify DNS servers for Docker to use.
- Turn off `dnsmasq`.
Turning off `dnsmasq` adds the IP addresses of actual DNS nameserver to
`/etc/resolv.conf`, and you lose the benefits of `dnsmasq`.
You only need to use one of these methods.
## Specify DNS servers for Docker
The default location of the configuration file is `/etc/docker/daemon.json`. You
can change the location of the configuration file using the `--config-file`
daemon flag. The following instruction assumes that the location of the
configuration file is `/etc/docker/daemon.json`.
1. Create or edit the Docker daemon configuration file, which defaults to
`/etc/docker/daemon.json` file, which controls the Docker daemon
configuration.
```console
$ sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
```
2. Add a `dns` key with one or more DNS server IP addresses as values.
```json
{
"dns": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
}
```
If the file has existing contents, you only need to add or edit the `dns`
line. If your internal DNS server can't resolve public IP addresses, include
at least one DNS server that can. Doing so allows you to connect to Docker
Hub, and your containers to resolve internet domain names.
Save and close the file.
3. Restart the Docker daemon.
```console
$ sudo service docker restart
```
4. Verify that Docker can resolve external IP addresses by trying to pull an
image:
```console
$ docker pull hello-world
```
5. If necessary, verify that Docker containers can resolve an internal hostname
by pinging it.
```console
$ docker run --rm -it alpine ping -c4 <my_internal_host>
PING google.com (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=0 ttl=41 time=7.597 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=1 ttl=41 time=7.635 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=2 ttl=41 time=7.660 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=3 ttl=41 time=7.677 ms
```
## Turn off `dnsmasq`
### Ubuntu
If you prefer not to change the Docker daemon's configuration to use a specific
IP address, follow these instructions to turn off `dnsmasq` in NetworkManager.
1. Edit the `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf` file.
2. Comment out the `dns=dnsmasq` line by adding a `#` character to the beginning
of the line.
```none
# dns=dnsmasq
```
Save and close the file.
3. Restart both NetworkManager and Docker. As an alternative, you can reboot
your system.
```console
$ sudo systemctl restart network-manager
$ sudo systemctl restart docker
```
### RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora
To turn off `dnsmasq` on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora:
1. Turn off the `dnsmasq` service:
```console
$ sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
$ sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
```
2. Configure the DNS servers manually using the
[Red Hat documentation](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html){:
target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}.
## Allow access to the remote API through a firewall
If you run a firewall on the same host as you run Docker, and you want to access
the Docker Remote API from another remote host, you must configure your firewall
to allow incoming connections on the Docker port. The default port is `2376` if
you're using TLS encrypted transport, or `2375` otherwise.
Two common firewall daemons are:
- [Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW)](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), often
used for Ubuntu systems.
- [firewalld](https://firewalld.org), often used for RPM-based systems.
Consult the documentation for your OS and firewall. The following information
might help you get started. These settings used in this instruction are
permissive, and you may want to use a different configuration that locks your
system down more.
- For UFW, set `DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT"` in your configuration.
- For firewalld, add rules similar to the following to your policy. One for
incoming requests, and one for outgoing requests.
```xml
<direct>
[ <rule ipv="ipv6" table="filter" chain="FORWARD_direct" priority="0"> -i zt0 -j ACCEPT </rule> ]
[ <rule ipv="ipv6" table="filter" chain="FORWARD_direct" priority="0"> -o zt0 -j ACCEPT </rule> ]
</direct>
```
Make sure that the interface names and chain names are correct.
## Kernel cgroup swap limit capabilities
On Ubuntu or Debian hosts, you may see messages similar to the following when
working with an image.
```none
WARNING: Your kernel does not support swap limit capabilities. Limitation discarded.
```
If you don't need these capabilities, you can ignore the warning.
You can turn on these capabilities on Ubuntu or Debian by following these
instructions. Memory and swap accounting incur an overhead of about 1% of the
total available memory and a 10% overall performance degradation, even when
Docker isn't running.
1. Log into the Ubuntu or Debian host as a user with `sudo` privileges.
2. Edit the `/etc/default/grub` file. Add or edit the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX` line
to add the following two key-value pairs:
```none
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"
```
Save and close the file.
3. Update the GRUB boot loader.
```console
$ sudo update-grub
```
An error occurs if your GRUB configuration file has incorrect syntax. In this
case, repeat steps 2 and 3.
The changes take effect when you reboot the system.
