Hi. I am attempting to install docker and I've hit a snag in the installation. I followed the instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
For some reason the docker service did not start. Here is the error from installation and the systemctl status:
Setting up docker-ce (5:20.10.18~3-0~ubuntu-jammy) ...
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xeu docker.service" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript docker, action "start" failed.
