What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Docker image recipe that lets you run a Docker daemon inside a Docker container using the --privileged flag. It is now obsolete, superseded by the official docker:dind image.

Use cases

  • run docker inside a docker container
  • spin up containers from a jenkins ci container
  • nested docker daemon for testing
  • expose an inner docker daemon over a tcp port

When to choose

  • you need to understand how docker-in-docker works under the hood
  • you are stuck on a very old docker version without the official dind image

When to avoid

  • you want to run docker-in-docker today - use the official docker:dind image instead
  • you want ci containers to build images - use socket mounting or rootless alternatives
  • you need a maintained solution
