Cannot start Docker in Azure Shell - azure

When in Azure Shell I type the following
PS Azure:\> systemctl start docker.service
I get the following error message
Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not
connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1) Failed to
connect to bus: No such file or directory
How can I resolve it?
Thank you in advance

Azure Cloud Shell offers a browser-accessible, pre-configured shell experience for managing Azure resources without the overhead of installing, versioning, and maintaining a machine yourself. You could read the supported features and tools here.
Moreover, you could not run the docker daemon in the Azure cloud shell since Cloud Shell utilizes a container to host your shell environment, as a result running the daemon is disallowed. You could Utilize docker-machine to manage Docker containers from a remote Docker host.

Podman-docker container has not started while executing the run command in linux ( Rhel 8 ) server

While trying to run the podman docker container in Linux server (Rhel 8) facing below issue.
WARN[0000] error mounting subscriptions, skipping entry in /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf: getting host subscription data: failed to read subscriptions from "/usr/share/rhel/secrets": open /usr/share/rhel/secrets/redhat.repo: permission denied
Execution command: podman run -d --name redis_server -p 6377:6377 redis
I have followed these steps to run the container
Could you please suggest a solution to this issue?
giving reference as this solved my issue quoting answer:
I solved my specific problem. The original user account I was using had an empty mounts.conf file (copy the one in usr/share/containers).
use touch ~/.config/containers/mounts.conf

Azure app service doesn't install docker properly

I am currently trying to start ElasticSearch on an Azure app service using Docker. I install docker through the ssh available in azure app services. Docker seem to install alright in the console, however when I run
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2
I get the following error in the ssh console:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
I have installed and uninstall Docker several times, however I still get the same error
Azure App service does not allow you to run Elastic Search due to its limitations
You may use Elastic as a Service on Azure or install it in AKS or VM.
https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/elastic.ec-azure?tab=Overview
You are trying to install Docker inside the Docker container
App Service for Linux comes with a bunch of preconfigured containers such as Node, PHP, Java, Python, Ruby and .NET Core.

The exact issue you mentioned means that Docker daemon is not started in your Linux environment
To start the Docker daemon use command:
systemctl start docker

Rancher - standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "permission denied"

Actually I'm trying to deploy Kubernetes via Rancher on a single server.
I created a new Cluster and added a new node.
But after a several time, an error occurred:
This cluster is currently Provisioning; areas that interact directly with it will not be available until the API is ready.
[controlPlane] Failed to bring up Control Plane: Failed to verify healthcheck: Failed to check https://localhost:6443/healthz for service [kube-apiserver] on host [172.26.116.42]: Get https://localhost:6443/healthz: dial tcp [::1]:6443: connect: connection refused, log: standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "permission denied"
And when I'm checking my docker container, one of them is always restarting, the rancher/hyperkube:v1.11.3-rancher1
I'm run docker logs my_container_id
And I show standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "permission denied"
On the cloud vm, the config is:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Docker Version: 18.06.1-ce
Rancher: Rancher v2
Do you have any issues about this error ?
Thank a lot ;)
What is your type of architecture?
Please run:
uname --all
or
docker info | grep -i "Architecture"
to check this.
Rancher is only supported on x86.
Finally, I called the vm sub-contractor and they created a vm with a nonexec var partition.
After a remount, it's worked.

Login to azure container

I used following quick start doc to spin up my first Azure container.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-quickstart#feedback
It worked fine. but how do I connect to container if I want to debug something?
You cannot connect to the container itself directly to debug, IE you can't SSH or RDP to it. Take a look at this graphic which highlights how a container differs from virtual machines:
You can however pull logs from your container from the container engine. In your case you would want to use the following command in the Azure CLI: az container logs.
https://aka.ms/container_logs
When you invoke CLI through the Portal, you should already be connected through your subscription.To debug or troubleshoot you can look at the container logs. Check out this documentation for the exact commands
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/container?view=azure-cli-latest#az-container-logs
When I am building containers to run on ACI, I build them first in a local docker instance where they can be connected to and interactively debugged. When you're happy with how they run locally push them into ACI, and debug from the output logs if needed.
I get to the bash shell in my Azure containers by either the azure-cli package, as the OP noted in a comment:
az container exec --exec-command "/bin/bash"
Or by navigating to a container instance in the Azure portal, then under Settings/Containers there is a "Connect" tab:

Docker containers as Linux services?

I just created a secure Docker Registry and ran it on a remote VM (using docker run ...). I then ran docker ps and saw that it is in fact running. I exited the machine and then SSHed back in. Again, I ran docker ps and verified it "survived" me exiting the SSH session.
This has me wondering: do Docker containers actually run as Linux services? If not, is there any way of getting them to run as traditional (upstart- or systemd-based) services? Is there even any reason/merit to do so?
The docker engine runs as a daemon.
That is mentioned in "Host integration":
As of Docker 1.2, restart policies are the built-in Docker mechanism for restarting containers when they exit. If set, restart policies will be used when the Docker daemon starts up, as typically happens after a system boot. Restart policies will ensure that linked containers are started in the correct order.
If restart policies don’t suit your needs (i.e., you have non-Docker processes that depend on Docker containers), you can use a process manager like upstart, systemd or supervisor instead.
That involves (when a container runs with some options) some security fraught, by the way: see issue 14767 and issue 6401:
The container (with --net host option) is the host when it comes to the network stack so any services running on the host are accessible to the container. It just so happens that you communicate to upstart ( and others ) this way.
This feature is a runtime only option, just like the --privileged flag, therefore an image cannot request this, it must be explicitly set at runtime.
