Docker-CE or docker on CentOS

I have a group of CentOS 7 machines that I had previously installed 'docker'; however, I'm finding that there's a repo with newer versions for CentOS with the docker repo added: 'docker-ce'.

Name        : docker
Arch        : x86_64
Epoch       : 2
Version     : 1.12.6
Release     : 68.gitec8512b.el7.centos
Size        : 15 M
Repo        : extras/7/x86_64

versus
Name        : docker-ce
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 17.12.0.ce
Release     : 1.el7.centos
Size        : 123 M
Repo        : installed
From repo   : docker-ce-stable

Which would be the preferred version to run? Newer is better or is the package that ships with CentOS extras the best? So OS vendor or software vendor?

Docker is undergoing development at a fast pace. Update to docker-ce-stable. Since docker 1.12 there have been many updates to docker such as the storage driver, swarm mode bug fixes etc have come in.

About two years ago Docker changed the way they do versioning and also introduced an entreprise edition of the technology called docker-ee, the open source version was renamed to docker-ce (docker community edition).

So to answer your question if you want to be up to date with the latest releases you should install docker-ce
