Howto detect in Docker the container kernel version

The application stack I want to dockerize shall run within a CentOS container. The installation procedure verifies kernel version to ensure application requirements are met. Currently it is detected using "uname ...".

However the application now detects the host kernel version, which is "UBUNTU ..." and not "CentOS" ..."

Is it possible to detect the container's kernel version?

Thanks.

In fact, the kernel is the same in the host and in the container. That's the very principle of containerization: the kernel is shared (because actually, a container is a collection of processes running on top of the host kernel, with special isolation properties).

Does that pose a problem for your application?
