Docker in Production: An Update

Re:Docker in Production: An Update by user5994461 on Thursday February 23, 2017 @01:40PM (#13716467)

So you are saying that all default settings are unusable in production, to the point docker might not start at all, and the only cure is series of 5 obscure advanced system setup/configuration that are almost impossible to figure out by oneself and not documented, yet they should be totally obvious to anyone using Docker, right?

FYI: It's because of this sort of bullshit that there are articles called "Docker in Production: An history of failure".

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS comes out of the box without AUFS and Device Mapper, and that you either need to enable one or the other before installing Docker or prevent Docker from starting automatically at install time. It sucks, yes, but your description of the problem and its solution is beyond hyperbolic. Googling "docker ubuntu install hang" takes you right to the GitHub issue with the solution at the bottom. And I think it's fixed in Docker 1.13 (it will prefer OverlayFS if AUFS and Device Mapper are not available), although I have not tested it.

The GitHub issue: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/23347

And there goes my hope of ever running Docker on Ubuntu with any success.

People like to waste their time on different things. :)
