AppArmor is also deactivated.
Running under root terminal/normal terminal returns same issue.
Docker pull is working.
Confirmed working under 17.09.1~ce-0~ubuntu

Hi @xgenvn, have you fixed that issue? I'm at the same point but it occurs when docker is ran by a pipeline using gitlab ci/cd... Not sure if in my case it is a docker or a gitlab related issue

[xgenvn]

@AdrianAntunez I installed specific version: 17.09.1~ce-0~ubuntu and it's working fine now.

[adriantunez]

@xgenvn I will give it a try ASAP and I will let you know if it worked for me or not. Thx!!

[philippbussche]

@AdrianAntunez ran into the same issue, it is working with this configuration for me:

image: docker:17.09

services:
- docker:17.09-dind

[hectornevarez]

Same issue here, I'm running:

@philippbussche hey philip, so only the docker was a problem is it? Am also facing the same problem

My version

For me Docker Hello World is working without a issue though.

[dinar-dalvi]

I ran into similar issue found a temp fix on another place.
Temp fix:
sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
sudo mount -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd

[jkbaseer]

Hello @dinar-dalvi thanks a lot! Do i need to do this on the route directory of the Server? or in the app folder(for example: meteor/hello-app/

[xgenvn]

@dinar-dalvi I tried this before, however the systemd is existed and mounted. Downgrading seems to fix the issue.

[jkbaseer]

@xgenvn: downgrading the container to which version?

[xgenvn]

@jkbaseer you might want to try

sudo apt remove docker-ce
sudo apt install docker-ce=17.09.1~ce-0~ubuntu

[jkbaseer]

Am i doing it rightly?

(Ps: Also i have few containers am using for other project, will that be removed as well? or is there a single command only to downgrade? )

[d-a-v]

On devuan/ascii this worked (over 18.03):

sudo apt-get install docker-ce=17.09.1~ce-0~debian
