    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.

    ~ # systemctl restart docker
    ~ # systemctl status docker
    ● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine

    Jan 01 00:02:16 apq8096 systemd[1]: docker.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

    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
