The Docker Version Manager (dvm) is a cross-platform command-line tool that helpsyou install and switch between Docker clients. It also helps both avoid and address the following Docker client/server API mismatch error message:
Error response from daemon: client is newer than server(client API version: 1.21, server API version: 1.20)Note: dvm manipulates the PATH variable of the current shellsession, and so the changes that dvm makes are temporary.
After youinstall dvm, runthedetect command and youare all ready to start using Docker.
$ dvm detect1.13.1 is not installed.

There are a few possible reasons for this, most commonly the need to avoid dealing with corporate proxies every time.
The environment variable DVM_MIRROR_URL can be set to a local mirror inside your LAN:
export DVM_MIRROR_URL="http://localserver/docker/builds"dvm install 1.10.3
