The Solution

Remove the default docker.io and install Docker from docker official repository.

The script as the following:

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce
sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2

sudo apt-get install docker-nvidia2

Thanks @hzxie for mention the above fix!

Hello!

Docker.io doesn't install the latest version of docker meaning that you need to pin the nvidia-docker version when trying to install nvidia-docker:

Thanks!

sudo apt-get install docker-ce
sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2 #not sudo apt-get install "docker-nvidia2"

@huan
Please change

sudo apt-get install docker-nvidia2

to

sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2

~sudo apt-get install docker-nvidia2~

Don't forget to add the "sudo apt-get update" after you've added a new repo to your lists! =)
