SLE_12_SP4 docker-19.03.12_ce could not start

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

I found SLE_12_SP4 updated docker version to 19.03.12_ce on June 26th. After installed the latest docker version, I could not start docker daemon. And I got the messages below:
vm20200628:~ # systemctl start docker
Job for docker.service failed. See “systemctl status docker.service” and “journalctl -xn” for details.
vm20200628:~ # systemctl status docker.service

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
When you say ‘found’ I’m assuming you found this on the open build service at;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization%3Acontainers/docker
For a start using third party repositories is not supported…
Where there any errors during install? Not sure the impact of the ‘go’ version used to build (as in 1.13 vs 1.9.7 in SP4).
