Well, you should tell us which command you used to start the container. — Sebastian

You're on a 32 bit platform (as indicated by the i686 in the output of uname). Probably the image you are using requires a 64 bit platform. — larsks

You indicated in the question comments your Docker version is 1.6.2. As per Rancher documentation anything below 1.12.3 is not supported. Update your Docker, best if you update to latest community edition (CE).

The guide how to install/update Docker on Ubuntu is found here.

You are on Docker version released on 13 May 2015, what do you expect? It's 2018 now.
