     1  # Docker Experimental Features 
     2  
     3  This page contains a list of features in the Docker engine which are
     4  experimental. Experimental features are **not** ready for production. They are
     5  provided for test and evaluation in your sandbox environments.  
     6  
     7  The information below describes each feature and the GitHub pull requests and
     8  issues associated with it. If necessary, links are provided to additional
     9  documentation on an issue.  As an active Docker user and community member,
    10  please feel free to provide any feedback on these features you wish.
    11  
    12  ## Install Docker experimental
    13  
    14  Unlike the regular Docker binary, the experimental channels is built and updated nightly on TO.BE.ANNOUNCED. From one day to the next, new features may appear, while existing experimental features may be refined or entirely removed.
    15  
    16  1. Verify that you have `wget` installed.
    17  
    18          $ which wget
    19  
    20      If `wget` isn't installed, install it after updating your manager:
    21  
    22          $ sudo apt-get update
    23          $ sudo apt-get install wget
    24  
    25  2. Get the latest Docker package.
    26  
    27          $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/ | sh
    28  
    29      The system prompts you for your `sudo` password. Then, it downloads and
    30      installs Docker and its dependencies.
    31  
    32  	>**Note**: If your company is behind a filtering proxy, you may find that the
    33  	>`apt-key`
    34  	>command fails for the Docker repo during installation. To work around this,
    35  	>add the key directly using the following:
    36  	>
    37  	>       $ wget -qO- https://experimental.docker.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    38  
    39  3. Verify `docker` is installed correctly.
    40  
    41          $ sudo docker run hello-world
    42  
    43      This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container.
    44  
    45  ### Get the Linux binary
    46  To download the latest experimental `docker` binary for Linux,
    47  use the following URLs:
    48  
    49      https://experimental.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-latest
    50  
    51      https://experimental.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest
    52  
    53  After downloading the appropriate binary, you can follow the instructions
    54  [here](https://docs.docker.com/installation/binaries/#get-the-docker-binary) to run the `docker` daemon.
    55  
    56  > **Note**
    57  >
    58  > 1) You can get the MD5 and SHA256 hashes by appending .md5 and .sha256 to the URLs respectively
    59  >
    60  > 2) You can get the compressed binaries by appending .tgz to the URLs
    61
