If you see something like:

1root@example.com:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# ifconfig
2docker0   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:42:8e:e1:53:84 
3          inet addr:172.17.0.1  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.0.0
4          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
5          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
6          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
7          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
8          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
...

And you're sure you don't need it, remove it using

1ip link del docker0
