Description-en: Linux container runtime
Docker complements kernel namespacing with a high-level API which operates at
the process level. It runs unix processes with strong guarantees of isolation
and repeatability across servers.
.
Docker is a great building block for automating distributed systems:
large-scale web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment systems,
private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc.
.
This package contains the daemon and client. Using docker.io on non-amd64 hosts
is not supported at this time. Please be careful when using it on anything
besides amd64.
.
Also, note that kernel version 3.8 or above is required for proper operation of
the daemon process, and that any lower versions may have subtle and/or glaring
issues.
