You should verify that the docker.service file ownership and group ownership are correctly set to root.
The docker.service file contains sensitive parameters that may alter the behavior of the Docker daemon. It should therefore be individually and group owned by the root user in order to ensure that it is not modified or corrupted by a less privileged user.
docker.service
file by running:systemctl show -p FragmentPath docker.service
stat -c %U:%G /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service | grep -v root:root
The command should not return anything.
systemctl show -p FragmentPath docker.service
For example, chown root:root /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
None.
This file may not be present on the system and if it is not, this recommendation is not applicable. By default, if the file is present, the correct permissions are for the ownership and group ownership to be set to “root”.
