Synology: New Docker Engine Coming To DSM 7.2.2

Synology New Docker Engine Coming To DSM 7.2.2

After my latest post about Synology’s Docker Engine reaching EOL on December 10, 2023, the community’s response was absolutely fantastic: over 8000 feature inquiries were sent to Synology over the past 24 hours (that I know of) urging an update to their Docker Engine version. This is what a community does: it unites under a common goal to bring forth benefits for everybody! And, of course, the community’s efforts have registered change, with replies to the feature inquiries already informing users that a Docker Engine update will be implemented in the upcoming release of DSM version 7.2.2

💡Update May 28, 2024: Docker Engine Version 24.0.2 Available as Beta.

See below the different messages from Synology in response to user inquiries

We would like to inform you that we have a plan in place to update the Docker Engine to version 24.0.3. This update will also include refinements to enhance user experience.

💡When will Synology update their Docker Engine version? An official release date has not been provided, but considering that DSM is now at version 7.2.1 Update 5 and the Docker Engine update has been promised in DSM version 7.2.2, it really won’t be long now. I think we’ll definitely have a new Docker Engine version this winter.
💡Which Docker Engine version will be implemented? According to different messages from Synology in response to user inquiries Docker engine version 24 will be released soon.
