Install first google-go-lang and then docker (1.6.0) from slackbuilds. Then, according to slackbuild package:

groupadd -r -g 281 docker            # Create the docker group. Groupnumber seems preset
usermod -a -G docker <your_username> # Add user(s) to the docker group

To have the docker daemon start and stop with your host,
add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.docker ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.docker start
fi

and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed):

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.docker ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop
fi

Docker client and server share the same binary.

Config file for the daemon is /etc/default/docker. This file is sourced by /etc/rc.d/rc.docker.

Take care, the latter provides a the configuration variable DOCKER_OPTS as well. But any options there are overwritten if /etc/default/docker exists.

Default data (images usw) directory is /var/lib/docker. This can be changed with –graph option in /etc/default/docker.

There is also /etc/docker/. Purpose yet unknown.
