Section Number and Name: 

Describe the issue: 

Suggestions for improvement: 
Docker client is only available on extras repo for RHEL 7. With that said user will be able to install docker client using EPEL on RHEL 6. This means that RHEL6 machines will be not supported to host docker containers.

This information should be highlighted on the documentation.

Additional information: 
Even though will be not supported to host docker containers on RHEL6 machine. Satellite can and do publish docker content to be pulled and hosted on RHEL7 machines.

Recommended docs text

"""
<!> Important <!>

Please note that Docker client is only available on RHEL 7, within the 'extras' repo. RHEL 6 machines are not presently supported to host Docker Containers.
"""

Comment 3 Mike McCune 2015-02-19 04:13:59 UTC

We do not support the use of EPEL so we will only support Docker on RHEL7.

Comment 4 Athene Chan 2015-02-19 04:19:13 UTC

Hi Elyezer,

As per Corey's and Mike's recommendation. We will be adding that Docker is only supported on RHEL7 and that the docker client will be in the Extras Repo.

Thank you,
Athene

Peter,

I am assigning this to you for the Docker sections.

Thanks,
Athene
