Copy code
docker ps Copy code
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix://.../.rd/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?f

09/12/2023, 11:41 AMThe RD UI has a link to the logs so you can poke through to see what might be going on, but yeah the tool is intended to back a development inner loop and not as an alternative to running RKE or something.
