"A start job is running for Docker Application Engine" is holding up boot

Hey everyone. I have a problem that is baffling me. When booting HA it takes about 30 minutes to get past the start job.

This has not been a problem at all the last two years on thia server.

I’ve freed up space, removed some questionable custom components but it hasnt helped.

Initially I thought it was frozen, but managed to get to the logs with the rescue mode and saw it was doing things before I turned it off. I cannot really find a specific thing in the logs that is holding things up though.

Any ideas?

Same here … I updated a bunch of components and now HA is stuck in the docker application container engine step since 8 minutes.
Its also VEEEEERY slow rebooting in general. I have it running as a VM and already rolled back to last night assuming it mustve been those updates. But nope, didnt fix anything…
