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.
