Hello,

I recently updated Ubuntu and now I'm unable to start the docker container. Getting the following error:

...
/sbin/ip -6 addr add 2a07:a880:4601:1032:f221:60b0:fec7:7118/64 dev tun0
RTNETLINK answers: Permission denied
Linux ip -6 addr add failed: external program exited with error status: 2
Exiting due to fatal error
...

Versions:

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

$ uname -a
Linux 4.4.0-83-generic #106-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 26 17:54:43 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ docker --version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be

I have tried both forcing IPv6 off/on, without result.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tips!

sudo apt-get install docker-engine=17.03.0~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial did the trick

Same issue with the latest Debian update.

Downgrading docker-ce from 17.06 to 17.03 fixed the issue.

Why is this closed? #279 has a solution to this that should be merged.

I don't follow. 279 is an issue, not a pull-request. You mean the sysctl flag should be added to the readme, or what do you propose as the solution here?
