Hi. I’m receiving this error after attempting to start Discourse: docker: failed to create the container ID file: open cids/app_bootstrap.cid: no such file or directory I’ve already done my research on the top and cannot find the problem.

Strange. Does docker work? docker run hello-world

Yes. It appears that Docker is running normally and works. Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal.

I’ve seemed to fix this issue. I must have been using a outdated version of Docker!
