Remove reference to experimental releases as it is really a nightly channel rather than a scheduled release. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Porterie <arnaud.porterie@docker.com>

# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Install Docker experimental
|
|
|
|
Unlike the regular Docker binary, the experimental channels is built and updated nightly on https://experimental.docker.com. From one day to the next, new features may appear, while existing experimental features may be refined or entirely removed.
|
|
|
|
1. Verify that you have `wget` installed.
|
|
|
|
$ which wget
|
|
|
|
If `wget` isn't installed, install it after updating your manager:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install wget
|
|
|
|
2. Get the latest Docker package.
|
|
|
|
$ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/ | sh
|
|
|
|
The system prompts you for your `sudo` password. Then, it downloads and
|
|
installs Docker and its dependencies.
|
|
|
|
>**Note**: If your company is behind a filtering proxy, you may find that the
|
|
>`apt-key`
|
|
>command fails for the Docker repo during installation. To work around this,
|
|
>add the key directly using the following:
|
|
>
|
|
> $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
|
|
|
|
3. Verify `docker` is installed correctly.
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container.
|
|
|
|

## 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.
