Docker Linux Installation

• Docker

Overview

Verified with Centos 7.

Prerequisites

A 3.8 kernel or later is required.

RedHat/Centos

Setting a yum Repository

Create a docker.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d:

[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg

Alternative URL for Centos 6: https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/6 Oracle Linux: https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/oraclelinux/6/

This is an example of how to use an "entitled" RH repository:

Using yum with registry.access.redhat.com Images

Remove Older Releases

Remove older Docker releases,

yum list installed | grep docker

yum erase ...

Install

yum install docker-engine

The yum installation procedure enables the docker server to start at boot:

systemctl is-enabled docker
enabled

If not, enable it:

systemctl enable docker

Reboot

Installation Verification

Docker Installation Verification

Docker Installation for OpenShift

• Docker Installation for OpenShift 3.6
• Docker Installation for OpenShift 3.5

Ubuntu

Docker installation on Ubuntu is described here: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/. A summary is available below:

Setup the repository. As root:

 apt-get update
 apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
 curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | apt-key add -
 apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
 add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Note that $(lsb_release -cs) should return 'xenial' or equivalent. The last command adds the Docker repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Install Docker CE. As root:
