Error on create new generic docker machine

I trying to create new docker-machine with driver "generic" on VPS and I get this error:

MacBook-Pro-Pavel:demo pavel$ docker-machine create --driver generic --generic-ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa --generic-ip-address=5.63.154.209 regru

command : sudo systemctl -f start docker
err     : exit status 1
output  : Job for docker.service failed. See 'systemctl status docker.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Machine with driver "virtualbox" create normally:

MacBook-Pro-Pavel:~ pavel$ docker-machine ls
NAME           ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER        ERRORS

swarm-node-1   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.101:2376           v17.06.0-ce

systemctl status docker.service и journalctl -xn here.

What am I doing wrong?

Chances are, you are doing everything right. It seems there is an issue with docker. I don't have much understanding, however here is a link for details: https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-machine-create-fails-on-digitalocean/34750

Work around is to manually provide older docker engine:

docker-machine create
--driver amazonec2
--engine-install-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170623081500/https://get.docker.com

Add --engine-install-url to your setup and see if that works.
