Disk crash - restoring from backup - no images or containers found

People,

After a catastrophic disk crash, on a new server, I restored these directories from backup:

/etc/docker
  /var/lib/docker

but after starting docker I get no images or containers listed - what am I missing?

Thanks,

Phil.

SELinux issues?

restorecon -R -v /etc /var/lib/

No unfortunately, I had/have SELinux disabled in both cases . . but 
responses here is making progress:

Thanks for responding though!

Hopefully I can convince you to enable SELinux especially for container
platforms.

I put in a reasonable effort to try and get SELinux going when it first 
appeared but it was too hard to get it working with stuff that I had to 
have working at the time - I think it was QMail that was the biggest 
problem  (I am still committed to it and EZMLM) - so I have been 
routinely disabling SEL ever since . .  I guess I should try again and 
actually work out how I can keep everything going with SEL active . .

Thanks for the prodding!

Phil.
