Cannot start Docker daemon

Hello,

I installed downloaded and successfully compiled Docker from AUR repository (link).
The installation provides a .service file that should be used to start Docker daemon. that looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=....
Documentation=....
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mount --make-rprivate /
ExecStart=/user/bin/docker daemon

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I attempt to do:

systemctl start docker

and then inspect the PID with journalctl, this error message is shown:

level=fatal msg="Failed to connect to containerd. Please make sure contanerd is installed in your PATH or you have specified the correct address. Got error: exec: "dcoker-containerd": executable filr not found in $PATH"

I've followed the installation instruction from Arch wiki (for Arch, they are essentially the same on Docker website). I couldn't find any references to "docker-containerd" searching with Google. Perhaps you might have an idea what is wrong here. I will only add that i compiled Docker on i686 architecture, and there wasn't any problems while compiling.

Re: Cannot start Docker daemon

You mention the wiki, did you read the very first line under Installation?

Re: Cannot start Docker daemon

Well, I sure read this . Let's copy this line for future readers' reference:

Docker doesn't support i686.

I must say that I was hopeful to get it to work in spite of this, especially so when I read one AUR's user comment:

docker-git compiled on my 32bit netbook very well indeed... and is running... Only thing is that port forwarding is not working atm but i can pull, build and run images etc.

Well I will probably be looking at other containerization options..
