The 'Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: Error creating default 'bridge' network: package not installed' error occurs when Docker is unable to create its own virtual network bridge. This affects users who have installed Docker on Arch Linux and are trying to start a new container.
This error can be frustrating as it prevents the user from running containers, which is a crucial aspect of Docker's functionality. However, by following these steps, you should be able to resolve this issue and get Docker up and running.
⚠️ Common Causes

- Step 2: Step 2: Install the 'bridge' network package using the command 'sudo pacman -S docker-registry'. Note that this will also install Docker's registry component, which is required for Docker to function properly.
- Step 3: Step 3: Restart the Docker service to apply the changes. Use the command 'sudo systemctl restart docker' to do so.
Enabling the 'bridge' network package via system configuration
- Step 1: Step 1: Open the Arch Linux system configuration file using a text editor. You can do this by running the command 'sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf'.
