Symptoms
Docker page in Plesk UI shows the following warning:
Warning: Local Docker nodes cannot be deployed in this environment. Only remote Docker nodes are available. Refer to this document for more information about the environment suitable for local Docker nodes. You can use remote Docker nodes only if you have paid version of the Docker extension. You can buy the extension here.
Cause
Docker is launched on the unsupported OS.
Resolution
To use Docker, consider using Plesk with an operating system that supports it:
- AlmaLinux 8.x and Rocky Linux 8.x.
- CentOS 7
- RHEL 7
- Debian 10, 11
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 20.04 (also on ARM based server)
- Ubuntu 22.04 (also on ARM based server)
- Virtuozzo 7 with Update 1 Hotfix 1 (7.0.1-686) or later.
Also, Docker runs only on x86_64 systems.
For more information, refer to Official Plesk Documentation.

I have Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11 on Ubuntu 16.04, x86_64, and Docker still shows this message.
How can I find more information? Do I have to buy the extension??
Hello Santi Calvo,
If your server isn't running in a Virtuozzo container, then, I can suggest creating a ticket for Plesk technical support: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213409109
Hi Artyom Baranov,
Thanks for your info. I might open it. My server is on a Virtual Private Server, but I don't think it's a Virtuozzo container.... I'll ask my provider.
Hi,
If I were to get Dockers installed on Centos 8, will Plesk be able to manage it locally?

Thanks
Hi Adrian Chan basically the reason why Docker is not available was the fact RedHat wiped it out from their repositories. So we did not test it and officially it is still not supported. Nevertheless, it might work in theory.
Any updates on when it'll be added on CentOS 8?
Just tested on Centos 8.4.2, the Docker extension works on localhost! :)
Is Support for CloudLinux 8 planned?
Hi @Thomas Hellwig, please vote for it in the link mentioned in the Note section. So far it is not planned.
Hi, Julian;
On your description you said that Docker is compatible with Debian 10 & 11, but on the Official Plesk Documentation tells that it is only supported on Debian 9.
Can you please clarify it?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you @Alex Bosch, The correct information is in this article. I will make a request for our docs admins so they update the OSes here https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/using-docker.75823/#requirements-and-limitations. The reason, also, why we do not mention Debian 9 here is because it has reached end-of-life.
Thank you so much for your answer, Julian!
