Crash / Abort in Node create_thread on Ubuntu 20.04

[joshelson]

Brand new checkout here, on Ubuntu 20.04 with a standard project setup. Everything is fine, until running pelias elastic create, which results in this:

Creating pelias_schema_run ... done

Anyone run into this before?

Welp, I can answer this one for myself really quick.

It appears that my 20.04 shipped with a fairly old Docker version... 19.x. And just updating to 24.x seems to have, at least in this case, resolved the issue. Weird, but it worked.

I hope that helps someone else.
