Experimental Features in this Release

This page contains a list of features in the Docker engine which are experimental as of the current release. 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

  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.
