OverlayFS is supported if you meet the following prerequisites:
- **Docker CE only**. OverlayFS is not supported on Docker EE. See
[Product compatibility matrix](https://success.docker.com/Policies/Compatibility_Matrix){: target="_blank" class="_"}
for a list of supported storage drivers for each Docker EE platform.
- The `overlay2` driver is supported for Docker EE and recommended
for Docker CE.
- The `overlay` driver is allowed but not recommended for Docker CE.
- Version 4.0 or higher of the Linux kernel. If you use an older kernel, you
will need to use the `overlay` driver, which is not recommended.

## Configure Docker with the `overlay` or `overlay2` storage driver
It is highly recommended that you use the `overlay2` driver if possible, rather
than the `overlay` driver. The `overlay` driver is **not** supported for
Docker EE.
To configure Docker to use the `overlay` storage driver your Docker host must be
running version 3.18 of the Linux kernel (preferably newer) with the overlay

be 4.0 or newer. It is highly recommended that you use `overlay2` if possible.

Before following this procedure, you must first meet all the
