Ansible and ‘Error while fetching server API version’

If you are getting this error

'Error while fetching server API version: {0}'.format(e)
DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: 
   ('Connection aborted.', error(2, 'No such file or directory'))

you should know that all you need is a Docker that is running ;)

I love this kind of errors :)

You just saved a life. Been trying to figure this out for 2 days.

i just added an ansible task to start the docker daemon before the main task to start the container

thanks a lot
