+#### Known issues on older hosts with seccomp enabled
+
+The nodes running on the following hosts **cannot be claimed**:
+
+- `libseccomp` version less than v2.3.3.
+- Docker version less than v18.04.0-ce.
+- The kernel is configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP enabled.
+
+To check if your kernel supports `seccomp`:
+
+```cmd
+# grep CONFIG_SECCOMP= /boot/config-$(uname -r) 2>/dev/null || zgrep CONFIG_SECCOMP /proc/config.gz 2>/dev/null
+CONFIG_SECCOMP=y
+```
+
+To resolve the issue, do one of the following actions:
+
+- Update to a newer version of Docker and `libseccomp` (recommended).
+- Create a custom profile and pass it for the container.
+- Run [without the default seccomp profile](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/seccomp/#run-without-the-default-seccomp-profile) (unsafe, not recommended).
+
+<details>
+<summary>See how to create a custom profile</summary>
+
+1. Download the moby default seccomp profile and change `defaultAction` to `SCMP_ACT_TRACE` on line 2.
+
+ ```cmd
+ sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moby/moby/master/profiles/seccomp/default.json -O /etc/docker/seccomp.json
+ sudo sed -i '2s/SCMP_ACT_ERRNO/SCMP_ACT_TRACE/' /etc/docker/seccomp.json
+ ```
+
+2. Specify the new policy for the container explicitly.
+
+ - When using `docker run`:
+
+ ```cmd
+ docker run -d --name=netdata \
+ --security-opt=seccomp=/etc/docker/seccomp.json \
+ ...
+ ```
+
+ - When using `docker-compose`:
+
+ > :warning: The security_opt option is ignored when deploying a stack in swarm mode.
+
+ ```yaml
+ version: '3'
+ services:
+ netdata:
+ security_opt:
+ - seccomp:/etc/docker/seccomp.json
+ ...
+ ```
+
+ - When using `docker stack deploy`:
+
+ Change the default profile globally by adding `--seccomp-profile=/etc/docker/seccomp.json` to the options passed to
+ dockerd on startup.

This script will install the Netdata Agent, in case it isn't already installed, and connect your node to Netdata Cloud.
