I should probably post this on StackExchange…

I’m working on a fully-automated Discourse install app. The quick-and-dirty solution I’m working on right now attempts to run the same install script that I use right now for my installs by starting it with `nohup`. The problem is that it hangs when doing

```
   wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

```

It works fine if there is a terminal, but not with nohup. (I think that apt is somehow killing the script, so that’s another story, but this is still interesting.)

This has lead me to consider other means for installing Docker.

- [get.docker.com](http://get.docker.com) gives you version `17.04.0-ce`
- ubuntu’s stock `apt install docker.io` version `1.12.6`
- a site I set up two years ago, version `1.9.1` (even after `apt upgrade`)
- Docker’s apparently [recommended method](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntu/), version `17.03.1-ce`

It looks like Ubuntu’s version works, and presumably they’ll continue to have a reasonably safe version, so that’s what I’m leaning toward right now.

Opinions?

Well, you definitely don’t want 1.12 or 1.9.1. Whatever gives you the right (current) version with no weird filesystem issues is what I recommend.
