SOLVED: Default installs of CentOS 7 with XFS file system creates the file system with the option ftype=0 which is incompatible with Docker. Rebuilding with either ftype=1 (which can’t be done through the GUI installer for CentOS) or as EXT4 file system will solve the issue. Be sure to run `docker info` first to see if there’s a warning at the end of the output.
Steps for reproduction:
1. Install CentOS 7
2. `yum install curl wget nano zip unzip open-vm-tools -y`
3. `yum update -y`
4. Disable SELinux and reboot
5. Install Docker-CE (using instructions from [Docker.com](http://Docker.com) [Install Docker Engine on CentOS | Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/centos/))
6. Test that Docker is install and running properly. Add root and local user to docker usergroup.
7. Install Discourse per instructions:
As root:
`mkdir /var/discourse`
`git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse`
`cd /var/discourse`
`./discourse-setup`
Sitename: [forum.example.com](http://forum.example.com)
Admin email: [admin@example.com](mailto:admin@example.com)
SMTP server: [mailrelay.example.com](http://mailrelay.example.com)
Username: [Enter]
Password: [Enter]
Let’s Encrypt: [Enter]
(Message displayed that ./launcher can’t run with default user/pass and to edit containers/app.yml
1. `nano containers/app.yml`
Add `DISCOURSE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: 'none'` to end of STMP section
Uncomment TLS and change to false
Change user/pass to something other than default - shouldn’t matter since I configured authentication to be off.
2. Bootstrap app `./launcher bootstrap app`

There is that – have you taken that advice? It sounds important.

Haven’t done this yet. I’ll reinstall the OS with EXT4 FS since CentOS can’t specify the ftype during the GUI installer. I’ll report back shortly.

The file system problem was causing the issue. Rebuilt with EXT4 partitions. Resolved.
