Hey cava cavamagie,  
Check out this github issue, it seems to have a lot of relevant info: [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/857](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/857)

I believe the `/var/lib/docker/overlay2/514f0a15` is just an intermittent layer that is part of what will eventually be the fully built container.
