Problem
I just installed Docker on my arch machine with
sudo pacman -S docker
Just after that I tried to initialize Docker services with
sudo systemctl start docker.service
it is showing this error -
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xeu docker.service" for details.
it does not show any critical info about what the issue is, then as prompted I executed -
sudo systemctl status docker.service
it gives -
× docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine

and
journalctl -xeu docker.service
from that there was one warning prompt that I looked upon the web that stated -
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
apparently searching for online solutions I reached up to the point that either my kernel has to be upgraded or I have to upgrade iptables on my arch machine. It must not be an issue with kernel as just a few days back I installed lts version for arch in my machine, still I am new to arch it could be anything I updated the system and packages with sudo pacman -Syu before installing Docker and have updated the iptables package current version iptables v1.8.9 (legacy)
Thanks
I want to go deep down into the matter as what the issue really is as I keep getting problems every time I start system-wide services using systemctl for new packages that I install on my machine, maybe I am missing something or some configuration on my arch install.
I tried to keep it simple and clean thanks for your patients and kind help.
