NAME

docker-version - Show the Docker version information

SYNOPSIS

docker version [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

The version command prints the current version number for all independently versioned Docker components.

EXAMPLES

Display Docker version information

The default output renders all version information divided into two sections; the "Client" section contains information about the Docker CLI and client components, and the "Server" section contains information about the Docker Engine and components used by the Engine, such as the "Containerd" and "Runc" OCI Runtimes.

The information shown may differ depending on how you installed Docker and what components are in use. The following example shows the output on a macOS machine running Docker Desktop:
