docker fails to start
I installed Docker but can't start it. I also installed Docker Engine and Docker machine but none of them are working

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?
c
I am on 16.04 ubuntu
Solution 1:
Restart the docker service -
sudo systemctl restart docker
Share output of below command -
sudo journalctl -xe
Check the logs & also see the last comment on the below link, you may find something similar to already reported issues with docker daemon failure.

Solution 2:
Run all docker command as root user or add your user group with docker user group.
First, try to start docker with root user or use sudo, if everything is running then add your user in docker group using sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
command.
