Docker installed from repository but problem with docker daemon

1st Official Post

    I've installed Libreelec with ssh and samba active and I've installed the docker addon....I get the "hello from docker" message so docker is working.

    I am now trying to add portainer and then I'll add home assistant and I'll also be running the pihole addon.

    Problem is that I can't even pull the portainer image....I get the following:

    docker pull portainer/portainer

    For whatever reason your docker daemon is connecting to a TCP socket. Did you edit the docker.conf file?
