Recently tried to run docker on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04. After googling a bunch of errors, trying different versions, but still failing decided to try rkt. That one worked out of the box, but apart from a bunch of simple images failed to run the caffe docker image.

So, my motivation of running without docker would be to understand every little thing they do to actually be able to use them and rely on them.

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

sudo usermod -aG docker $your_user

There ya go.

In newer distros its as easy as apt-get install docker.io

It installs fine, it just doesn't work. There is an issue on github with the same errors as I saw, where they discuss not fixing it, because of how uncommon the system is.

Can you link it here? I'm just curious. I run docker on trusty all the time

Adding a user to the dockergroup is a bad idea on a desktop.
