Docker: fsconfig fails and cgroup says unknown subsys

Hi,

newbie here!

I just installed docker.io on Devuan 6 sysvinit. doing sudo service docker restart gives:

Stopping Docker: docker.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset: fsconfig() failed: cgroup: Unknown subsys name 'cpuset'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory: fsconfig() failed: cgroup: Unknown subsys name 'memory'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
Starting Docker: docker.

What step i missed? what version of cgroups  we are using?

Re: Docker: fsconfig fails and cgroup says unknown subsys

Encountered the same and then more problems, and even more after rebooting.

I used antix-docker-install.sh script to clean up and reinstall docker successfully, once I fixed a bug in it.

https://github.com/mr-addams/antix-docker-install

It has a bug, and non critical error.

In the script, change line 109 DOCKERD=/usr/bin/dockerd to DOCKERD=/usr/sbin/dockerd

and line 5 has the wrong script name.     echo "Run as root: sudo bash docker-full-install.sh"  should be antix-docker-install.sh
