I was trying to start a docker container with docker-compose, but greeted with an error

$ docker-compose up

Solution

Reboot your system.

I did an update to my Arch Linux system and the kernel was updated. I have to reboot my system so the new kernel is loaded and thus completing the update. After a reboot, the docker container booted fine.
