From 3ac3e613e926c88d9503ecf8480a219b674e75f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: emil Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 01:25:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] DEVX-155: fix: kill inner dockerd with SIGKILL, use alt socket if alive The inner dockerd started by the CI image doesn't respond to SIGTERM. Use pkill -9 to force-kill it, then verify it's actually dead by running docker info. If the old daemon is still alive (can't be killed), use /dev/shm/docker.sock as an alternate socket path to avoid conflicts. Also moved the data root cleanup after the kill verification, so we don't delete files while the old daemon might still be writing to them.
