Docker joins the Linux Foundation

Re:Docker joins the Linux Foundation by shykes on Tuesday June 25, 2013 @08:58PM (#5943468)

That's just our docs being unclear :) You can run docker on debian wheezy, no problem.

Docker is currently easier to run on certain distros than others. But it's not because it's distro-specific. It's because it has kernel requirements which are more easily met on certain distros than others. Those requirements are described at http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/kernel/ (short version: aufs + lxc + (<=2.6 OR >=3.8))

Clean up the docs please.

Even just a list of software and kernel deps, then instructions on how to compile the rest of the software by hand would suffice.

For now I've had to muck around reading the Ubuntu packaging files to get a proper idea what/how you install this thing. Which isn't cool. :-(
