How to solve Laradock and Docker error with Python modules

When trying to upload docker containers, to the distribution of Laradock, with images of apache2, redis, mariadb and workspace default, I came across the following list of errors.

Apparently the errors describe that Python modules are not available, for not finding the files *.py.

Fixing Docker Error with Python

Despite an extensive list of errors and non-descriptive messages, the solution is extremely simple:

YOU NEED TO START THE DOCKER

Yes, that's right, docker is not running and the error list shown is not intuitive.

If you are on a system Linux Ubuntu, Mint or Debian, just run the command:

sudo systemctl start docker

If on a Mac system:

cmd + space + type "docker" into the search bar + enter # or sudo launchctl start docker
