OPMS installation error "Can not connect with the local installation of docker, did you start it?"

Issue/Introduction

We received the below message while trying to upgrade OPMS to latest version released in May 2023

 

Environment

DX ASM

Cause

The new installer (released in May 2023) is not bound to CentOS 7 any more. The only requirement is the latest Docker (with the docker compose plugin) and the containerd. The minimum supported versions are:

 

engine: 20.10.17

containerd: 1.6.6

 

We've tested the OPMS on both CentOS 8 and Debian 11. The above message indicates that the installer complains that these docker version requirements were not met.

Resolution

Ensure software requirements are correct and supported, for more information refer to Techdocs ASM OPM pre-installation checks
