docker-machine does not wait for systemd reload

[lwyszynski]

I've been testing docker-machine recently and I've encountered a problem. Apparently docker-machine does not wait for command execution during docker setup.

Driver: Openstack
System: Debian 10
docker-machine version 0.16.2, build bd45ab1
Docker version 20.10.3, build 48d30b5

Process from docker-machine perspective (without debug)

Current behaviour:

docker.service is stopped
docker.service is started
systemd is reloaded

Expected behaviour:

docker.service is stopped
systemd is reloaded
docker.service is started

I have the same issue.

Restarting the docker daemon after the provisioning works.

docker-machine ssh [machine-name] service docker restart
