After a period of time, once enough entropy is available, docker will start. Once it has started, it no longer appears to depend upon getRandom.
This was introduced sometime after 17.09. I believe 18.03 release. We have created a workaround but it's adding a lot of unrequired load to our systems.

Low entropy freezes Docker
Low entropy freezes Docker on boot
Aug 23, 2018
The containerd issue came up from LinuxKit, after the Linux kernel changes that meant that early stage (buggy, apparently) entropy was no longer added; it is going to be hard to not get code to require entropy though.
I highly recommend you find an entropy source for your machines. I can give advice on that, depending on your environment. I don't think we will be able to fix it in Docker, eg if you use TLS connections, Swarm mode, etc etc we do require random numbers.
Forgive me if this is the wrong repo.
When a machine boots, if it has low entropy then halt will freeze as it is using getRandom system call.
