Hello! Sorry for bumping but i’ve been using discourse like for 2 years and now im trying to get into its plugin development process.  
I have a VPS with ubuntu 16.04 fresh installed and docker gets installed by default with devicemapper. There is no possibility to change it (This tutorial and everyone in google makes docker impossible to start) any clue?
