Docker containers not starting after system update

Ran a full system update on Arch this morning and now none of my Docker containers will start. Getting a weird cgroup error. Anyone seen this before?

Error: failed to create task for container: cgroup init error

This happened to me last week. It is the systemd 256 update changing cgroup behavior. Downgrade systemd or update Docker to 26.x which has the fix.

Quick fix: add SystemdCgroup = true to your containerd config. The default changed in the latest systemd update.

Can confirm updating Docker to 26.1.1 fixes it. Arch repos already have it if you do a pacman -Syu.
