Error1: cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is docker daemon running on this host?
Erro2:docker.service is masked
to resolve this issue you have to run some command.
# systemctl unmask docker.socket
# systemctl unmask docker.service
# systemctl start docker.service
it will resolve this issue.

Why not just use docker-machine and its vmware fusionprovisoner? Installing everything manually seems very complicated if all you want is to run docker.
I was waiting for this kind of issue. Thank you very much for the place.
