 ===== Docker Community Edition =====
-  * Install ''luci-app-dockerman'' to get a LuCI page to manage containers, along with CLI docker and dependencies
+First you need to install the ''dockerd'' (''opkg install dockerd'' ~16 Mb) daemon that will run containers.
-  * Alternatively, for only the command line tools install ''docker''\\
+It provides an [[https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/|Docker Engine API]] available by a local UNIX socket and HTTP REST that can be called from outside if allowed.
+Then you need a //client// e.g. ''docker'' (''opkg install docker'' ~12 Mb) to connect for the daemon API and start containers.
+To save space you can use the ''docker'' from another computer if the Docker Engine is opened.
+As a GUI client install ''luci-app-dockerman'' (''opkg install luci-app-dockerman'') to get a LuCI page to manage containers. It can work with ''dockerd'' on both remote and local hosts. Since the ''luci-app-dockerman'' version v0.6 it will also install the ''dockerd'' and even ''docker-compose'' as a dependency.
 The default folder for docker in the dockerman Luci interface is **/opt/docker** so mount your storage at **/opt** or change the folder in **Docker** >  **Overview** > **Docker Root Dir** then restart the dockerd service.
