I just successfully installed docker on ubuntu machine but I'm not able to start and it throws below error message

Command:

sudo service docker start

Error:

Job for docker.socket failed. See "systemctl status docker.socket" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Failed to start docker.service: Unit docker.service is not loaded properly: Invalid argument.
See system logs and 'systemctl status docker.service' for details

.

System details:

Uname -a

Linux instance-1 4.15.0-1029-gcp #31~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 22 13:06:42 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962

Also I do see the below while check the docker info:

sudo docker info
[sudo] password for achu:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

I got below details if I run systemctl status docker.socket

● docker.socket - Docker Socket for the API
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: service-start-limit-hit) since Thu 2019-05-09 03:53:13 PDT; 5h 0min ago
   Listen: /var/run/docker.sock (Stream

Also I just checked docker.socket file and I don't see any docker.sock in /var/run/docker.sock location.

Any help will be appreciated.
