Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but can be handled via
|
|
|
|
|
either of the following AUR packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `lxc-docker <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker/>`_
|
|
|
|
|
* `lxc-docker-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker-git/>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lxc-docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker.
|
|
|
|
|
The lxc-docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies in
|
|
|
|
|
either AUR package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* aufs3
|
|
|
|
|
* bridge-utils
|
|
|
|
|
* go
|
|
|
|
|
* iproute2
|
|
|
|
|
* linux-aufs_friendly
|
|
|
|
|
* lxc
|
|

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that if **linux-aufs_friendly** is not already installed that a
|
|
|
|
|
new kernel will be compiled and this can take quite a while.

Starting Docker
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prior to starting docker modify your bootloader to use the
|
|
|
|
|
**linux-aufs_friendly** kernel and reboot your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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

Network Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPv4 packet forwarding is disabled by default on Arch, so internet access from inside
|
|
|
|
|
the container may not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable the forwarding, run as root on the host system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, to make it persistent across reboots, enable it on the host's **/etc/sysctl.conf**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
|
