# Docker Experimental Features
|
|
|
|
This page contains a list of features in the Docker engine which are
|
|
experimental. Experimental features are **not** ready for production. They are
|
|
provided for test and evaluation in your sandbox environments.
|
|
|
|
The information below describes each feature and the GitHub pull requests and
|
|
issues associated with it. If necessary, links are provided to additional
|
|
documentation on an issue. As an active Docker user and community member,
|
|
please feel free to provide any feedback on these features you wish.
|
|
|
|
## Use Docker experimental
|
|
|
|
Experimental features are now included in the standard Docker binaries as of
|
|
version 1.13.0.
|
|
For enabling experimental features, you need to start the Docker daemon with
|
|
`--experimental` flag.
|
|
You can also enable the daemon flag via `/etc/docker/daemon.json`. e.g.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"experimental": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then make sure the experimental flag is enabled:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker version -f '{{.Server.Experimental}}'
|
|
true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## How to comment on an experimental feature
|
|
|
|
Each feature's documentation includes a list of proposal pull requests or PRs associated with the feature. If you want to comment on or suggest a change to a feature, please add it to the existing feature PR.
