I'm trying to check my docker images but the daemon isn't running. How do I get the daemon running? I tried running "docker daemon" but that leaves my terminal stuck

@Daniel-Ryu Check out the documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/

Try running `voxl-configure-docker-support.sh`
