Following the guide, I have tried at both SF and NYC regions with ubuntu 16.04 and cannot get past installing docker without first following the recommendations from this old topic.
Well, what I am saying here is that is not what is occurring on a fresh DO ubuntu installation. I have tried with both 16.04 and 16.10. The command wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh doesn’t run successfully. This is what I am seeing:
root@ubuntu:~# wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh
modprobe: FATAL: Module aufs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-57-generic
It continues doing its thing but is non functional at the end and so ultimately the discourse install is unable to bootstrap.
Are you deviating from our official guide in any way? Are you selecting some kind of wacky pre-built droplet, or a clean Ubuntu Server 16? Because @pfaffman and I have installed dozens of times following that guide step by step on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server droplets and we had zero issues.
It looks like you are reporting something as an error that’s not really an error?
I just set up Discourse on a new SFO 2GB Ubuntu 16.04 LTS droplet. I do see the “error” but it just scrolls on by and everything works fine – Docker seems plenty happy, note aufs is there:
Oh dear. I really cannot get it to fail now (that FATAL: Module aufs not found is still there but everything else works as it is supposed to). I was so convinced Iit was a problem further down the line. Very sorry guys and thanks for all your help!
