I believe I got this working now. I noticed while looking at syslog that the docker container was having issues with it’s networking. When I originally installed Ubuntu, I opted to use the installer supplied version of docker. I re-rolled the instance and this time used the script on [get.docker.com](http://get.docker.com) to install docker. This version of docker worked fine and discourse is now running without issues (as far as I can tell.)
