Hi.

Notice that Discourse has a minimum for Docker version:

```plaintext
docker_min_version='17.03.1'
docker_rec_version='17.06.2'

```

> **GitHub Reference**

> [discourse\_docker/launcher at master · discourse/discourse\_docker · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/launcher#L83)

Is there a maximum Docker version number?

The reason I ask is that we are on version:

```plaintext
ubuntu# docker version
Client:
 Version: 18.09.7
 API version: 1.39
 Go version: go1.10.1
 Git commit: 2d0083d
 Built: Fri Aug 16 14:20:06 2019
 OS/Arch: linux/amd64
 Experimental: false

Server:
 Engine:
  Version: 18.09.7
  API version: 1.39 (minimum version 1.12)
  Go version: go1.10.1
  Git commit: 2d0083d
  Built: Wed Aug 14 19:41:23 2019
  OS/Arch: linux/amd64
  Experimental: false

```

and the current docker version is:

```plaintext
19.03.11

```

OK to upgrade to the very latest docker version (ubuntu)?

Thanks!

Yes. That is the version everyone following the [Discourse official Standard Installation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-official-standard-installation/142537) ends up so it’s continuously tested.
