# Docker Image Pull Failed with "Error response from daemon"

## Problem

Docker image pull fails during PMK stack startup with the below error messages:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Docker image pull" %}

```bash
[2023-10-31 04:36:16] docker: Error response from daemon: open /var/lib/docker/overlay2/d39acd549d8883feef19a6464c0e1dfe48da0bd1bc83a54aee6e585ba06db8b8/committed: no such file or directory.
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Edge Cloud - v-5.3.0-2075501
* Docker client/server - Version: 19.03.11

## Cause

Docker container runtime upstream issue - Ref - [Bug](https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/478)

## Resolution

Error indicates that `/var/lib/docker/overlay2` is referencing to some older files which might be cached. So we follow below procedure to fix the issue.

1. Stop the `dockerd` service using below command

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Docker service" %}

```bash
# systemctl stop dockerd
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

2. Move the `/var/lib/docker` directory to `/tmp` and then start the `dockerd` service.

```bash
# systemctl start dockerd
```

## Additional Information

This step will recreated a new **/var/lib/docker** directory and PMK stack should start properly.
