I'm having trouble getting Docker CE to run on an Ubuntu Docker image. Here's my Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
RUN curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | apt-key add -
RUN add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y docker-ce
RUN docker info
The last command fails with the following:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
If I attempt to run dockerd from the container, it comes back with the following:
ERRO[2018-04-12T14:35:43.945962200Z] 'overlay2' is not supported over overlayfs

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
(exit status 3)
I assume there is something missing in the kernel for the ubuntu image?
Here's the output of uname -a, from the container:
root@85bdefe67e4a:/# uname -a
Linux 85bdefe67e4a 4.9.87-linuxkit-aufs #1 SMP Wed Mar 14 15:12:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is it something wrong with the ubuntu:16.04 container or is there something I'm forgetting?
