Docker on fedora 20(32-bit) not working

Question

As per the documentation at: https://docs.docker.com/installation/fedora/ , I understand its not supported for the 32-bit.(for my system uname -r gives 3.11.10-301.fc20.i686)

But looking at : https://docs.docker.com/installation/binaries/ , I downloaded the https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/i386/docker-latest.tgz .

Now after extracting it, when i hit : "docker -d &" at terminal as su, i get "This is a client-only binary - running the Docker daemon is not supported." As per documentation I would have accepted this for Mac OS X and Windows, but I am working on linux.

Can someone help me with this.

Answer 1

Even on Linux, 32-bit support for daemon mode is not a priority ( issue 136 ).

That leaves you with the option of recompiling docker on i386 32-bits , and build a 32-bits base image in order to run 32-bits apps containers.
