Installing Docker on your VPS

To use Docker you will need to use a KVM based VPS to run a newer (3.xx or 4.xx) kernel which docker requires

For the Auto Installation, you just need to download the docker.sh script in your server and need to execute that script. Just run the following commands in your server.(Installation process may take few minutes)

wget wiki.crowncloud.net/scripts/docker.sh
chmod a+x docker.sh
./docker.sh
