Description

I'm having great difficulty installing docker-ce on my machine after many attempts over the course of several days.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Remove all instances of any old docker installations.
  2. Follow instructions on website to install docker-ce on Ubuntu.

apt install docker-ce

Selecting previously unselected package docker-ce.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

I've tried installing this on several kernels: 4.13, 4.10, and 4.4. None of them seemed to work.

I was able to boot up an Ubuntu VM and install via the getDocker.sh script successfully.

Running that script on my machine yields me this:

# Executing docker install script, commit: fc04d2c
