Hi, I’m new here. Al I’m wanting to do is download a user manual for Docker, perhaps a PDF?

I have searched the web for nearly 8 hours, and quite frankly have become extremely frustrated.

Because of the very nature of the docker documentation (pretty much a wiki), there’s no easy way to produce a PDF out of it.  
But docker do provide a copy of that documentation as a container for offline reading, see here : [https://docs.docker.com/docsarchive/](https://docs.docker.com/docsarchive/)
