Raspbian docker: Error response from daemon: cgroups: memory cgroup not supported on this system: unknown

Question

I am new to docker, I plug my PI3 to test some stuff and I'm already facing an error, I can't figured that out myself.

So I freshly install raspbian and docker.

That's my install log

Then I try the classic hello-word test

and there is the log

Answer 1

It looks 17.11.0 has the problem.

Could you try to install the old one as below ?

$ sudo apt install docker-ce=17.09.0~ce-0~raspbian

Or wait for the fix.

(2017.12.5)
It looks 2017-11-29-raspbian-stretch has same issue. To avoid upgrading by apt upgrade, Do:
sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce.
And unhold when it fixes.

Answer 2

Another solution is to add cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1 in /boot/cmdline.txt at the end of the line and reboot.
