    The difference seems to have narrowed now in Xenial: Ubuntu's docker.io 1.12.3 vs Docker's docker-engine 1.13.1.

  • @Pierz but will ubuntu upgrade within the same release? Before 18.04 the difference will probably widen again ;)

    one year later, "mind the gap": the versions available via docker(.com) vs the ubuntu pkg repo is now so wide it's hard to even compare (as of mid-2017, ubuntu 17.04 (zesty)). What was called docker-engine from docker.com is now split into docker-ce and docker-ee (a free "community edition" & paid "enterprise edition", respectively), and docker-compose must be installed either from git or via pip install docker-compose to get the correct, corresponding latest version. Presently, sadly, one must simply avoid ubuntu repos for all things docker.
