Docker Community Edition (CE) is ideal for developers and small teams looking to get started with Docker and experimenting with container-based apps. Docker CE has two update channels, stable and edge:

  • Stable gives you reliable updates every quarter.
  • Edge gives you new features every month.

For more information about Docker CE, see Docker Community Edition{: target="blank" class="" }.

Time-based release schedule

Starting with Docker 17.03, Docker uses a time-based release schedule.

  • Docker CE Edge releases generally happen monthly.
  • Docker CE Stable releases generally happen quarterly, with patch releases as needed.

Updates, and patches

  • A given Docker CE Stable release receives patches and updates for one month after the next Docker CE Stable release.
  • A given Docker CE Edge release does not receive any patches or updates after a subsequent Docker CE Edge or Stable release.
