Ah, --build-arg was added in Docker 1.9.
And unfortunately CentOS 6.7 is not officially supported anymore by Docker.

So I'm not sure you will be able to update to a newer version of Docker.

yeah, Docker 1.9 requires at least Centos 7...

Docker itself requires Centos 7 (see here).
nvidia-docker requires Docker 1.9 for handling the volumes
