Docker is supported on the following versions of Debian:
- [*Debian 8.0 Jessie (64-bit)*](#debian-jessie-8-64-bit)
## Debian Jessie 8.0 (64-bit)
Debian 8 comes with a 3.14.0 Linux kernel, and a `docker.io` package which
installs all its prerequisites from Debian's repository.
> **Note**:
> Debian contains a much older KDE3/GNOME2 package called ``docker``, so the
> package and the executable are called ``docker.io``.
### Installation
To install the latest Debian package (may not be the latest Docker release):
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker.io
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/docker.io /usr/local/bin/docker
To verify that everything has worked as expected:
$ sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
Which should download the `ubuntu` image, and then start `bash` in a container.
> **Note**:
> If you want to enable memory and swap accounting see
> [this](/installation/ubuntulinux/#memory-and-swap-accounting).
### Giving non-root access
The `docker` daemon always runs as the `root` user, and since Docker
version 0.5.2, the `docker` daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a
TCP port. By default that Unix socket is owned by the user `root`, and
so, by default, you can access it with `sudo`.
Starting in version 0.5.3, if you (or your Docker installer) create a
Unix group called `docker` and add users to it, then the `docker` daemon
will make the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the `docker`
group when the daemon starts. The `docker` daemon must always run as the
root user, but if you run the `docker` client as a user in the `docker`
group then you don't need to add `sudo` to all the client commands. From
Docker 0.9.0 you can use the `-G` flag to specify an alternative group.
> **Warning**:
> The `docker` group (or the group specified with the `-G` flag) is
> `root`-equivalent; see [*Docker Daemon Attack Surface*](
> /articles/security/#dockersecurity-daemon) details.
**Example:**
# Add the docker group if it doesn't already exist.
$ sudo groupadd docker
# Add the connected user "${USER}" to the docker group.
# Change the user name to match your preferred user.
# You may have to logout and log back in again for
# this to take effect.
$ sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
# Restart the Docker daemon.
$ sudo service docker restart
