Docker is supported Oracle Linux 6 and 7. You do not require an Oracle Linux
Support subscription to install Docker on Oracle Linux.
This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and
installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest release
of Docker. If you wish to install using Oracle-managed packages, consult your
[Oracle Linux documentation](https://oracle.com/linux).
## Prerequisites
Due to current Docker limitations, Docker is only able to run only on the x86_64
architecture. Docker requires the use of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
Release 3 (3.8.13) or higher on Oracle Linux. This kernel supports the Docker
Release 4 (4.1.12) or higher on Oracle Linux. This kernel supports the Docker
btrfs storage engine on both Oracle Linux 6 and 7.
## Install

> are not covered by Oracle Linux support. To ensure Oracle Linux support, please
