Some interesting output (18.04 host):

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:16.04 systemd-detect-virt
none

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:16.04 sh -c systemd-detect-virt
docker

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:16.04 bash -c systemd-detect-virt
none

(as mentioned by @lucaswerkmeister)

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:16.04 bash -c "systemd-detect-virt; true"
docker
