Hi!
I just installed a forum on an ubuntu 16.04 linode instance using docker instructions.
I also created an instance on a local VM so I could import my old smf2 based forum to it.
Once imported I created a backup in the local VM through the discourse backup tab.
I then applied this backup onto my linode instance following these instructions:
Everything seems to work fine except the version check in the admin dashboard: "A check for updates has not been performed. Ensure sidekiq is running."
I'm using the latest release of discourse (as of this post discourse (c5f42f0) ) and HTTPS is enabled.
Sidekiq is running and actually has a few retry jobs all with:

The logs say:

So it seems version check is expecting a JSON response but it's not getting it.
Any ideas how I could resolve this?
I've already rebooted the node and ./launch rebuild app with no effect.
