It looks like I'm getting an invalid argument error with the **--raw-logs** argument.

- `docker images` or `docker ps` doesn't want to work because it says it cannot connect to docker daemon (is it running?)
- voxl-configure-support.sh didn't want to work, because it says it cannot connect to docker daemon (is it running?).

- Executing `systemctl restart docker && systemctl status docker` fails to restart docker.

I would like to fix this without reflashing the firmware to factory default if possible.

Thanks  a lot

Hello!

We can't use the original docker service file on voxl as a few extra steps are required for docker to run on our platform. Both the installation of the voxl-docker-support package and execution of voxl-configure-docker-support.sh try to stop and disable docker.service as it gets in the way.

Instead it is replaced by our own service files which should be enabled by the voxl-configure-docker.sh script. What is the output you see when you run this script?

Best,
James
