Hi,
I am installing n8n docker in a new server running ubuntu 18.04. Followed the procedure in Server Setup | Docs

Getting below error when making the docker up.

Hey @mahesh,

That looks like the docker-ce package hasn’t installed properly, it isn’t really an n8n issue and is more of a docker one.

Have you checked that the docker service is running and can be used by your user (if not root or sudo)?

Docker installation is the issue.
