If we would apt upgrade now, apt would suggest an update for Docker. One approach would be to apt-mark hold the current version, but apt would still say there is an update available, only not install it. Also, we wouldn’t get any fixes within the 17.03 version.

A better approach is to use apt pinning.

sudo su -
cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/docker
Package: docker-ce
Pin: version 17.03.*
Pin-Priority: 1000
EOF
