How to run docker daemon?

[shuvashish76]

Installed docker by

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.docker

When I type e.g. docker pull pihole/pihole, it shows

Using default tag: latest
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

How do I start the docker daemon?

You cannot. Nix-on-droid is running as unprivileged user as every other Android app, plus does that inside proot. Docker requires root and features like user namespaces. Podman could be simpler, but still requires user namespaces. In general, I just don't believe it's possible.
