Problem installing on Ubuntu 18.04

I am new to ODK and trying to install ODK Sync Endpoint for the first time, but not getting very far.

What ODK tool and version are you using? And on what device and operating system version?
I am following the steps at https://docs.opendatakit.org/odk2/sync-endpoint/ on a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 Server and Docker-ce 18.09.0 from the docker.com ubuntu repository.

What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?
I run into the following error messages after running step 2:
Sending build context to Docker daemon 17.41kB

What you have you tried to fix the problem?
Running the same command again uses cached downloads but ends with the same error message. Running step 3 completes all 12 steps without error:

We have redone the sync-endpoint build system hopefully fixing some of the issues. More changes are coming but hopefully things will be easier.
