Arch Linux
==========
.. include:: install_header.inc
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but 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
Installation
------------
For the normal package a simple
::
pacman -S docker
is all that is needed.
For the AUR package execute:
::
yaourt -S lxc-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
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.d/docker.conf**:
::
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
