Following up on Overlayfs to Overlay2, Failed on Fresh Installation, storage driver

I whined over on

And it seems that overlay2 is not installed anymore:

So I guess either Discourse needs to move to a new image thingy?

Yes! I started a new topic, since the other one had been closed, I think, but this one didnā€™t get picked up.

Well, itā€™s not really resolved just yet, right? I set up a new Discourse instance today and found that I had to create a new file:
/etc/docker/daemon.json
with the contents

{
  "storage-driver": "overlay2"
}

So, thatā€™s the temporary fix from the maintainerā€™s perspective. Iā€™m glad to hear that the problem should go away within the next release or two.

When? This just got merged. About 3 hours ago.

My DigitalOcean history says I set it up 11 hours ago, or about 10:30 AM EST. I guess I got lucky!

I had updated the discourse-math plugin and was trying to figure out how to install it into my production Discourse. I didnā€™t want to mess up the instance that I actually use so I set up another.
