docker images报Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

错误信息

在centos上，安装完docker之后，使用docker images查看镜像的时候报如下错误

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

解决办法

1. 检查docker service是否启动成功

sudo systemctl status docker

docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2024-07-16 17:45:31 CST; 4min 52s ago
Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Main PID: 39676 (dockerd)
Tasks: 17
Memory: 28.3M
CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
└─39676 /usr/bin/dockerd -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock --containerd=/run…

通过上面的输出信息可以发现，docker已经启动成功，如果没有启动，请按照下面的命令进行启动

sudo systemctl restart docker

如果启动失败请参考我的这篇文章进行解决linux docker启动失败

2. 修改docker.service文件

sudo vim /lib/systemd/system/docker.service

打开docker的service文件，将下面的内容进行替换

# ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock

3. 重启docker

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

4. 查看镜像

sudo docker images

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
