+Arch Linux
+==========
+
+Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but can be handled via 
+either of the following AUR packages:
+
+* `dotcloud-docker <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotcloud-docker/>`_
+* `dotcloud-docker-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotcloud-docker-git/>`_
+
+The dotcloud-docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker. 
+The dotcloud-docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+Docker depends on several packages which will be installed automatically with
+either AUR package.
+
+* aufs3
+* bridge-utils
+* go
+* iproute2
+* linux-aufs_friendly
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The instructions here assume **yaourt** is installed.  See 
+`Arch User Repository <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages>`_
+for information on building and installing packages from the AUR if you have not
+done so before.
+
+Keep in mind that if **linux-aufs_friendly** is not already installed that a
+new kernel will be compiled and this can take quite a while.
+
+::
+
+    yaourt -S dotcloud-docker-git
+
+Prior to starting docker modify your bootloader to use the 
+**linux-aufs_friendly** kernel and reboot your system.
