Check the condition and run commands in bash

I am need of running series of commands after checking the conditions. I tried this

#var1 results in output active or inactive
var1= systemctl is-active docker


#Function for enabling and running the docker service

function run {
echo "Starting Docker service.."
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
mkdir /mnt/new/hello_test
}

# Checking whether the docker service is up or not

if [[ $var1 -eq inactive ]]
        then
        echo "$(run)"
else
        echo "Docker service is  running..." ; touch /mnt/new/testingg;
fi

In this script, it is only checking 1st condition. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks!
