• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Resolved Docker doesn't start after upgrade to Debian 11

fhe

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 11.4
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.45.2
I've updated from Debian 9 to Debian 11 using the recommended steps and everything worked fairly okay. Except for one thing where Docker doesn't start anymore. Using systemctl start docker produces this output in journalctl -xe and I don't know how to proceed.

Code:

Clicking the Docker tab in Plesk gives "Error: Connection refused".

Any help is very much appreciated!
 
OK, thank you. I wish I had seen this earlier and I'm even not sure if this this still valid or just outdated documentation.

As I understand, support for Debian 9 was dropped by Plesk starting with 18.0.45 so it'd be great if Docker would be supported with the current supported OS versions.
 
Hello,
For my part, Docker works fine on Debian 11.4 and Plesk Obsidian v18.0.45, so, I guess the documentation is outdated.
After that I couldn't tell you exactly the problem, for my part, it's on a "fresh installation" with the basic installation offered by Plesk.

Bash:
# systemctl status docker
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2022-07-31 14:31:10 CEST; 2 days ago
TriggeredBy: ● docker.socket
       Docs: https://docs.docker.com
 
Thank you! I've now removed the Docker extension, reinstalled, and have setup the containers from scratch and now it's working here to.

However, I'm getting an update notification when running apt list --upgradable and now I'm unsure if it's safe to upgrade:

Bash:
# apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
containerd.io/bullseye 1.6.6-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.4.3-1]
docker-ce-cli/bullseye 5:20.10.17~3-0~debian-bullseye amd64 [upgradable from: 5:19.03.15~3-0~debian-stretch]
Do you have those latest versions running on your system?
