dockerd-configuration-options - Unable to delete docker from UBUNTU 16.04 LTS

[shashidharpattar007]

Hi,
I ran
$ ./setup-dockerd.sh

Systemd configuration files for dockerd.

./setup-dockerd.sh 118 [INFO]: Run 'sudo systemctl restart docker'

After that I tried removing the docker but it is throwing an error telling

$ sudo apt-get remove docker*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package docker-scripts

Can you please let me know how can I resolve it. I want to remove the scripts and docker completely so that I can re install everything. Please help.

Thanks,
Shashi

Unable to restart docker and this issue occurred after I ran the script.
$ systemctl restart docker
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

What version of Docker are you using?

[BradleyA]

What is the output from the command
systemctl status docker.service

[BradleyA]

I have added a script for you to use to remove the scripts and files. Then you should be able to remove or purge docker from your system. Not knowing which version of docker you have installed or the output from systemctl status docker.service, it is challenging for me to reproduce this incident. Try these steps to remove docker 18.04.0-ce from an Ubuntu 16.04 system using systemd, but first download the script

 curl -L https://api.github.com/repos/BradleyA/docker-scripts/tarball | tar -xzf - --wildcards */u* ; mv BradleyA-docker-scripts*/dockerd-configuration-options/u* . ; rm -rf BradleyA-docker-scripts-*/

1 sudo ./uninstall-dockerd-scripts.sh
2 sudo systemctl restart docker
3 sudo systemctl stop docker
4 sudo apt-get purge docker-ce

Let me know if you continue to need help.
