title: How do I solve the daemon timeout error "while opening volume store metadata database" using docker?
body: <p>I am trying to use a GPU on a ubuntu OS via docker and NVidia drivers on a Google Cloud VM instance. I have installed docker, Nvidia drivers, and the nvidia-container-runtime packages and am attempting to add the latter to the runtime of docker. The following image is of the issue I am having.</p>
  
  <p>As you see in the image, I started by removing /var/run/docker.pid and I still cannot set the runtime for docker to also point to the nvidia-container-runtime.</p>

  <p>I expect this to successfully add the runtime variable so that I am able to run my desired docker setup via the nvidia runtime variable for ease of use.</p>
