Hi,

I upgraded my server (debian 8.5) a few days ago via apt-get. docker-engine was updated. I use docker only for discourse. The discourse container did not restart after updating. Manually restarting fails with

> /var/discourse# ./launcher restart app  
> /usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 2 desc = “shim error: invalid argument”.  
> Your Docker installation is not working correctly

> See: [Troubleshoot docker installation issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/docker-error-on-bootstrap/13657/18)

The link provided does not help or I don’t understand. I found some threads around here and tried

> /var/discourse# git pull  
> ./launcher rebuild app

but this failed with the same result.

Thanks for any help on how to fix or debug this.
