I was trying to install Forest Admin and it required `docker-compose`.

Since I didn’t have it, I installed it:

```plaintext
sudo apt install docker-compose

```

But when I tried to run it, I got an error:

```plaintext
docker-compose up
ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?

If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

```

I tried several things and one recommended restarting docker:

```plaintext
sudo systemctl restart docker
Failed to restart docker.service: Unit docker.service is masked.

```

So I unmasked it and rebuilt, but then I couldn’t access the app

```plaintext
sudo systemctl unmask docker
Removed /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.

sudo systemctl restart docker
# no error

```

I’ve been able to rebuild the image and it finishes without errors:

```plaintext
sudo /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app

```

But when I go to the URL, it’s not accessible.

Out of desperation, I also tried updating docker and rebuilding the image several times, but no luck:

```plaintext
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

sudo /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app

```

I’m out of ideas. Is there anything else I should try?
