You need to replace all the " ` " marks with a “single quote” in the command, Something in the forum messes up “single quote mark” and throws an error when you run it.
@S0litiare thank you, i’ve notice this and fixed quote, but it does not help as the docker is not running:
docker ps -a | awk ‘{ print $1,$2 }’ | grep watchtower:latest | awk ‘{print $1 }’ | xargs -I {} docker stop {}
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
Tried all possible combinations:
sudo service docker start <-- this command freezes forever (or until cmd+c) nothing happening
sudo service docker stop <-- this command freezes, forever (or until cmd+c) with error:
Job for docker.socket failed.
See “systemctl status docker.socket” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

I can’t start it, i can’t stop it, i can’t uninstall it…
Will try in evening, but today is not that evening, where i would like to spend with docker…

Once the machine is rebooted run docker ps and see if that gives you anything. Since you tried to uninstall and it failed it might throw up an error. That’s OK.

Reinstalled,
Node started, but already 2min. OFFLINE, watching log’s…
This node finished.
Have another with similar problem…
will have to drive tomorrow to the place, as over VPN only ping responds, ssh takes ages to connect and ages to run any of the commands, because of the same problem… probably…
