Having some doubts now that I found the time to take a closer look. The reason why Matt [recommended to downgrade and to lock your docker Version back](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-web-interface-becomes-unresponsive-a-few-minutes-after-starting/76643/14) in December was this bug in docker:

[https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/35865](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/35865)

And from what I can tell, it has still not been entirely fixed. So I suppose it’s saver too stick to version 17. 10 for now…
