Docker instructions

[Tracy Reed]

Here are the instructions to preinstall Docker for anybody who wants to
follow along. You can simply visit
https://www.docker.com/products/overview for more detailed instructions,
or do this:

On most standard Linux distros, you will need the latest version of
whatever distro you are using. For instance, CentOS 6 or Ubuntu before
1604 won't work: Install the docker repository for your distro, then
install the docker-engine rpm or deb file. The current version is 1.13.0
Detailed instructions are here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/

On Windows 10 Professional or better: enable virtualization support in
the BIOS/UEFI, install Hyper-V, then download and install the docker
installer.

On Windows 10 Home or Windows 7 (this is what I will be using for the
demo): enable virtualization support in the BIOS/UEFI, the install the
Docker Toolbox from here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox
. This includes VirtualBox, so it is incompatible with other
virtualization solutions.

On MacOS Yosemite 10.10.3 or higher: install docker from here:

On earlier versions of MacOS: install the docker toolbox from here:

Commenting on a post months ago,
I'm pretty sure when I did my docker presentation last year, although
I didn't dwell on it I mentioned that the Kitematic toolbox should be
used by any docker newbies, it's a one-click install for Windows users
to install Virtualbox, download a Linux image (their own) configured
to support SSH immediately (installing and configuring keys) and set
up docker.

Of course, anyone who knows how to do all that is in the docker
toolbox in individual pieces can set it all up yourself, but it's a
nice convenience for anyone who doesn't know them all.

Additional...
Docker now supports Windows images. Licensing is a bit unclear but it
seems that in general MS wants to encourage using docker on Windows
(and deploying Windows images).

Also, I don't know if it exists in other distros, but SUSE Enterprise
Server(SLES) supports an "all Linux" implementation of the docker
toolbox, so that full installation and configuration can be one-click.
Plus, if you're using openSUSE or SLES, I wrote a vastly improved
Installation Guide, IMO much better than what is on the docker site or
anywhere else
