Check the daemon and storage layout before choosing an installation or migration guide: docker version; docker info --format "{{.DockerRootDir}}"; df -h. These queries require authorized daemon access.

The migration planner covers the reviewed local rootful Linux service layout. It does not migrate Docker Desktop, a remote daemon or the separate containerd image store used by some new Engine installations. Confirm the actual storage backend first.
