# Arch Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Docker is still under heavy development! We don’t recommend using it in
|
|||
|
|
production yet, but we’re getting closer with each release. Please see
|
|||
|
|
our blog post, ["Getting to Docker
|
|||
|
|
1.0"](http://blog.docker.io/2013/08/getting-to-docker-1-0/)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is a community contributed installation path. The only ‘official’
|
|||
|
|
installation is using the [*Ubuntu*](../ubuntulinux/#ubuntu-linux)
|
|||
|
|
installation path. This version may be out of date because it depends on
|
|||
|
|
some binaries to be updated and published
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Installing on Arch Linux can be handled via the package in community:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [docker](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/docker/)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
or the following AUR package:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [docker-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/docker-git/)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker. The
|
|||
|
|
docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies
|
|||
|
|
in the packages. The core dependencies are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- bridge-utils
|
|||
|
|
- device-mapper
|
|||
|
|
- iproute2
|
|||
|
|
- lxc
|
|||
|
|
- sqlite
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Installation
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For the normal package a simple
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
pacman -S docker
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
is all that is needed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For the AUR package execute:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
yaourt -S docker-git
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The instructions here assume **yaourt** is installed. See [Arch User
|
|||
|
|
Repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages)
|
|||
|
|
for information on building and installing packages from the AUR if you
|
|||
|
|
have not done so before.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Starting Docker
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There is a systemd service unit created for docker. To start the docker
|
|||
|
|
service:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo systemctl start docker
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To start on system boot:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo systemctl enable docker
|
