Public bug reported:

I am running 16.04 Ubuntu and trying to run docker within lxd (I know
crazy right?!). While inside the LXC container we are unable to run
docker because there is an error trying to mount aufs.

We found a workaround to this problem was to add the overlay driver to /etc/default/docker:
DOCKER_OPTS=--storage-driver=overlay

See 'docker run --help'.

Can we either fix the aufs bug or enable the overlay driver by default?
