Has anybody successfully run Docker containers on Trisquel? Can anybody tell me whether these instructions for installing Docker it on Ubuntu will work for 64-bit Trisquel 7?
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/

I'm aware Trisquel is built on top of Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS), which according to the documentation is supported by Docker. The kernel on release was 3.13, and uname -r confirms that's the version I'm running, so that's supported. So far so good.

The documentation tells me to add their APT repo. Is there a version of Docker already available in the Trisquel repos? If so, what's the package name?

Documentation also tells me that Trusty needs a linux-image-extra package, and suggests this command:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)

Will this work with the Trisquel repo?

Another more general question, is it recommended to use Trisquel as a server OS? Is there a fully libre distro that would be better for server use? I'm aware Debian is widely used as a server and I could use that without any non-free add-ons.
