Hello,
I would recommend trying to restart the Docker service:
systemctl restart docker
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
Part of this issue is that I started a task overnight which raised the CPU to 100% for the past several hours, so I may be getting locked out until the internal process times out in some way, not sure when. Got the same error when trying ‘docker stop <my_container_id>’ If this is CPU max-related then would be interested if any way to throttle the CPU at something less than max to allow login.
