I also had this when dusting off my Linux instal.
I thought it might be me (normally is) so I re-installed docker (from download and then from Snap) and still got as described in this report.
I am not in my office right now but can add an error report to this if it would help.
Are you using the User Password rather than the Root User password? Try with the user and see if that rectifies, if not discount my response. Just throwing it out there @jellederijke
