Did you try to restart the Docker daemon with sudo service docker restart?
And which operating system are you using and how did you install Docker on the host machine?

Hello @farazBhatti ,

Please run " systemctl status docker " and check if docker is running.
If it's not active, then try running " systemctl start docker" to see if it works.
If it's active, use " systemctl stop docker " and then " sudo dockerd " to start the daemon manually.

If the issue remains, please provide the output of " docker info ".
