Description

What do you see as an issue?

I'm following this guide: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/03a_contributors_quick_start_beginners.rst#option-b--one-click-github-codespaces. The forth step ("Install Breeze and start the development container") leads to

Docker is not running.
Please make sure Docker is installed and running.

I think the problem is with the last command (breeze start-airflow). I've already checked that Docker is installed:

[Breeze:3.10.19] root@21ae210c1c95:/opt/airflow$ docker --version
Docker version 29.2.1, build a5c7197
[Breeze:3.10.19] root@21ae210c1c95:/opt/airflow$ whereis docker
docker: /usr/bin/docker
[Breeze:3.10.19] root@21ae210c1c95:/opt/airflow$ sudo systemctl status docker
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

It seems like a problem with a user access to Docker.
