Are you even on Windows? This is with WSL 2, as you can systemd doesn't work as expected in WSL2. This is a known issue. If systemd is working for you, then you are doing something magic:

  sudo systemctl start docker
  [sudo] password for u3332:
  System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 
  1). Can't operate.
  Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

From that link (permalink to answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61887923) :

> Nowadays you can try:

> sudo service docker start

> when using WSL2, if you are running on windows version 2004 or higher (I assume).

Which is what I did in the listing above.

Did you install docker from their own PPA linked in the instructions above, and are you on Ubuntu 20.04 with WSL2? Those are the only steps I took.

e:

  ver
on 'cmd' also shows

  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.928]
if that helps

e:

Everything except the service start, which I had to find in that StackOverflow thread. We've hit the max comment depth, so I couldn't response to you directly.

Are you referring to the install instructions for Ubuntu? No where does it mention running the commands:

  sudo service docker start

If you run the Docker daemon manually, it works just fine. I'm running a container on it right now.

It's not a problem with Docker on WSL 2, but a problem with the way WSL uses its own init system instead of systemd, while some Ubuntu packages are packaged for a systemd system.
