I've installed docker but when running systemctl status docker I get an error: System has not been booted with systemd as init system How can I start docker within a runpod ubuntu pod?

systemctl wont work use service instead also you cant do docker in docker

Correct, you cannot run Docker in Docker

@Dj I had come across this post - is this not possible? https://docs.runpod.io/tutorials/pods/build-docker-images
Build Docker Images on Runpod with Bazel | RunPod Documentation
RunPod's GPU Pods use custom Docker images to run your code.

That's a great question, I feel like you shouldn't? be able to but let me check.

yeah this article had led me to believe that I could run docker workloads within runpod vms 🤔

I'm learning about this now, but I think this is particularly for docker building images, not for example - pulling and starting a container
