Docker

In order to run your own copy of the book with gitbook within a local container:

Enable Docker experimental features with vim or another text editor
```
 sudo vim /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
```
Then add --experimental=true to the end of the ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// line and save.

Eg: ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --experimental=true

Then, you need to reload and restart the Docker daemon:
