If you try to use docker inside a persistent enable Live CD, you may encounter this error. I guess, it is due to the fact that you can't mount aufs inside overlayfs mounts, which is the persistent layer.

The solution was simply using different driver. I've used vfs in /etc/docker/daemon.json

Here it is

{
    "storage-driver": "vfs"
}
