title: docker failed to start daemon: Error initializing network controller no network available


For future reference, I found the [solution on this Github bug](https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/123%23issuecomment-346546953).

```
# ip link add name docker0 type bridge
# ip addr add dev docker0 172.17.0.1/16
```

Using the same IP since it's the same I got on the error message's first on the list.

```
