docker machine provisions docker daemon instead of dockerd

[blaggacao]

Provisioning with generic driver on ubuntu fails

docker-machine version

docker-machine --version
docker-machine version 0.12.0, build 45c69ad

Target machine

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

Bug observations

While /lib/systemd/system/docker.service contains this line
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd://

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

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -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

! note /usr/bin/docker daemon !

which fails, as in fact Docker version 17.06.0-ce, build 02c1d87 !< 1.12.0

Discussion

First investigation

A quick look a the code tells me that probably something before this line is failing:
https://github.com/docker/machine/blob/master/libmachine/provision/systemd.go#L50

Further instructions required

What more information could be useful to track this down?

I get the same thing with docker-machine version 0.12.2 as well

Duplicate of #4156?

Why this issue and #4156 are closed ? The bug is not fixed in 0.12.2.

'docker daemon' command has been deprecated since docker v17.05.0 so we need to replace by dockerd.
