Unable to install NodeRed add-on - Hass.io on Ubuntu 16.04.4

Considering that this is a Node-RED issue, apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this …

After experiencing lots of issues with my PI Hass.io install, I’ve recently installed Hass.io on an ubuntu 16.04.4 VM and so far it appears to be running very well. I have to say, I’m loving the difference in responsiveness with service calls and lightning fast reboots.

I was very excited to install Node-RED, but unfortunately I’m unable to do so. I have noticed this particular error in the system log:

18-04-14 00:07:04 INFO (SyncWorker_3) [hassio.docker.addon] Start build 27e642c6/amd64-addon-nodered:0.1.11
18-04-14 00:07:04 ERROR (SyncWorker_3) [hassio.docker.addon] Can’t build 27e642c6/amd64-addon-nodered:0.1.11: Please provide a source image with from prior to commit

Has anyone encountered this issue before, or can anyone suggest a solution. Sooo close to actually getting a working system with everything I need (…for now D:)!

You need to upgrade Docker on your host.

Thanks so much for your reply @NotoriousBDG :+1:

I attempted to upgrade docker (sudo apt-get upgrade docker.io) but received - docker.io is already the newest version (1.13.1-0ubuntu1~16.04.2)??

Follow procedure at https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/ to upgrade Docker.
