Is docker still not starting on virtual servers hosted in starto now?

Question

during the last winter, I tried to launch ShareLaTex using the docker image. At that time, all this was no longer possible with launching docker on my Ubuntu 14.04 virtual server. So today I decided to try again. On the virtual server, the new Ubuntu 14.04 is up and running.

After following the installation instructions until execution

docker images docker run 

or

 docker run hello-world 

I will return this line:

Unable to connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

So, in time, the discussion showed that the kernel of the version is inappropriate due to the fact that the kernel is limited to providing Starto. So this is the kernel version:

 3.13.0-042stab111.12 

This is an old discussion.

Answer 1

It seems docker is still not supported by Strato v-servers. Starting docker daemon fails:

 INFO[0000] API listen on /var/run/docker.sock ERRO[0000] 'overlay' not found as a supported filesystem on this host. Please ensure kernel is new enough and has overlay support loaded.

Daemon option --bip can be used to set a preferred IP address FATA[0000] Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: Error creating default "bridge" network: package not installed 

Regardless of which kernel is installed, it starts:

 Linux h2267479.stratoserver.net 3.13.0-042stab111.12 #1 SMP Thu Sep 17 11:38:20 MSK 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 

The kernel modules mentioned above are not listed in Strato as supported kernel modules for virtual servers .

If you need a docker, you should change the host.

Answer 2

Docking on VPS (Virtual Private Server) is currently not supported by Strato. The FAQ (German only) gives a good overview of which servers and operating systems have Docker support. As mentioned in a previous post, when using VPS , a change of provider is required.

Answer 3

A few weeks ago, I reinstalled Strato V-Server from Debian 9 to Ubuntu 18.04, and Docker has been working ever since. The documentation still says that it is not supported, so it may not work on their entire infrastructure.
