 for snappy.\r\n\r\nThis snap allows you to use the full capabilities of docker 
on snappy.\r\n\r\nIn order to use 'docker build', 'docker save' and 'docker 
load', you need to place your dockerfile within $HOME/apps/docker/1.6.xxx/. All 
files that you want docker to access to must be within this path.\r\n\r\nYou 
may also use the 'docker-privilege' command to allow you to use 'docker run 
--privileged'. Because docker is unencumbered on snappy, it is recommended that 
you follow the Docker project's recommendations for using docker 
securely.","developer":"docker-inc","download-size":25858048,"icon":"https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/site_media/appmedia/2015/04/docker.svg.png","id":"sLCsFAO8PKM5Z0fAKNszUOX0YASjQfeZ","name":"docker","private":false,"resource":"/v2/snaps/docker","revision":"56","status":"available","summary":"The
