I initially had the latest docker installed 1.8, but purged and reinstalled 1.7.1. Any ideas?

Is docker installed from official docker repository?

[r4wr]

Yes, it's installed from the official docker repo.

# apt-cache policy docker-engine
docker-engine:
  Installed: 1.7.1-0~trusty
  Candidate: 1.8.1-0~trusty
  Version table:
     1.8.1-0~trusty 0

That seems really odd, kontena-server package requires docker-engine >= 1.7.0. Can you try to remove kontena-server, then install docker-engine and finally install kontena-server package again?

[r4wr]

I wasn't able to get kontena-server installed so I can't remove it. The error in my initial post was from my first attempt at installing kontena-server.

Ok, this seems to relate to new docker apt repository. We have uploaded a new packages that should work. Just run apt-get update and try to install again.

Thanks for reporting this!
