Machine: docker-machine provisions docker to use aufs on debian jessie which is not supported

hmm... odd... jessie should support the AUFS patch just fine...

can you post the full docker-machine --debug output?

I had the same kind of trouble last year when I tried to do the same, but I gave it another try this week and I was able to make it work.

docker-machine version 0.8.2
Jessie 8.6 kernel 3.16 => straightforward setup
Jessie 8.6 kernel 4.8.11 from backports => need to add --engine-storage-driver overlay otherwise aufs is used and it's not supported in recent kernels

I don't know if something change since last year but I was not able to make it work, so give it another try !

Yes I was able to make it work too, by specifying --engine-storage-driver
overlay, but I t hink that should be detected and automated in some way.
Currently it works with some cloud providers and not with others.

Creating machines on Google Cloud platform currently fails due to this.

Is it somehow possible to manually set something else?
Machine creates one with aufs, which is the platform default

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/10-machine.conf

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock --storage-driver aufs --tlsverify --tlscacert /etc/docker/ca.pem --tlscert /etc/docker/server.pem --tlskey /etc/docker/server-key.pem --label provider=generic
Environment=

Edit:
Executing

sed -i "s@--storage-driver aufs@--storage-driver overlay2@g" /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/10-machine.conf

several times on the host, while docker-machine displays

Setting Docker configuration on the remote daemon...

seems to solve it.
