Install Docker on 20.04 LTS

hello all, trying to run containers on docker on a pod with ubuntu 20.04. after docker install and running the "hello world" docker test i get this error: docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?. See 'docker run --help'. i tried 3 times already, docker is installed, but not accessible. any idea please?
Solution:
Pods are already docker containers, you cannot run docker inside of docker

Maybe not, podman is for managing docker right?

What are you trying to do? You can't run docker in docker on RunPod. Podman also runs docker containers so you can't use it on RunPod. As @Slothstronaut said, pods are already docker containers. Create a template and then launch a pod from if it for your Ubuntu 20.04 image.
