Solution

  • It seems to me that this is neither the Community Edition nor the Enterprise Edition. Based on the version and build date you posted, it looks like a build from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras channels (as the build time is identical to what is built into its docker client binary—but the time is different from the RPM build time, which confused me initially).

    You should be able to double-check using

    rpm -qif /usr/bin/docker

    and compare the package signer with the official Red Hat product signing keys.

    Software provided in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras channels is fully supported by Red Hat. (The difference from other channels is the update frequency, not the support coverage.) In this sense, these builds are closer to the Enterprise Edition from Docker, Inc., because there is vendor support (unlike the Community Edition, which is, I think, unsupported).

    Disclaimer: While I work for Red Hat, you need to review the agreements for yourself to determine support coverage etc., and contact customer support in case there are open questions.
