Install Docker-ce on Ubuntu 16.04 fails because of overlay

691 Views Asked by At

Im running a vServer with Ubuntu 16.04 installed. All packages seems up-to-date. My kernel-version is the following: Linux 4.4.0-042stab130.1 x86_64. I want to install docker-ce for development purposes. Now everytime I try to install it via apt, it crashes because it cannot start docker.

journalctl -u docker shows me the following error messages:

level=error msg="'overlay' not found as a supported filesystem on this host. Please ensure kernel is new enough and has overlay support loaded.
level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support oom control
level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support memory swappiness
level=warning msg="Your kernel does not support kernel memory limit
level=warning msg="Unable to find cpu cgroup in mounts
level=warning msg="Unable to find cpuset cgroup in mounts
level=warning msg="mountpoint for pids not found
Error starting daemon: Devices cgroup isn't mounted

So I have no experience with the features provided by overlay or overlay2. I just barely read about it, and that it should be supported by the linux kernel as version 4 and above.

I do not know what to do, to make docker work.

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
