The ubuntu install directions say to install the docker.io package, which only installs version 1.0.1. Readers need at least Docker 1.5 for some of the demos (like building an image). |

The image built from the Dockerfile is currently failing to run properly. This is likely due to a minor revision update to version 0.10. Error details are shown below. Note from the Author or Editor: |

I did more digging, and found that the exact version the "FROM node:0.10" is using is "node:0.10.48". I found that by looking at "docker inspect <image>", and verified it by changed the line in Dockerfile to "FROM node:0.10.48" and seeing the sha for the image is exactly the same (0f9a0e09fbda) as when I used "FROM node:0.10" (see output below). BTW that sha also matches the output in your book, so not sure if it is only failing for me, but it shouldn't because hey, this is docker right? oh well I reported it, thanks for reading.
