Fedora

Docker is supported Fedora version 21 and 22. This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest release of Docker. If you wish to install using Fedora-managed packages, consult your Fedora release documentation for information on Fedora's Docker support.

Prerequisites

Docker requires a 64-bit installation regardless of your Fedora version. Also, your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum. To check your current kernel version, open a terminal and use uname -r to display your kernel version:

$ uname -r
3.19.5-100.fc21.x86_64

If your kernel is at a older version, you must update it.

Finally, is it recommended that you fully update your system. Please keep in mind that your system should be fully patched to fix any potential kernel bugs. Any reported kernel bugs may have already been fixed on the latest kernel packages

Install

There are two ways to install Docker Engine. You can install with the yum package manager. Or you can use curl with the get.docker.com site. This second method runs an installation script which also installs via the yum package manager.

Install with yum

  1. Log into your machine as a user with sudo or root privileges.

  2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date.

     $ sudo yum update
    
  3. Add the yum repo yourself.

     $ sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-'EOF'
     [dockerrepo]
     name=Docker Repository
     baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/fedora/$releasever/
     enabled=1
     gpgcheck=1
     gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
     EOF
    
  4. Install the Docker package.

     $ sudo yum install docker-engine
    
  5. Start the Docker daemon.

     $ sudo systemctl start docker
    
  6. Verify docker is installed correctly by running a test image in a container.

     $ sudo docker run hello-world
     Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
     latest: Pulling from hello-world
     a8219747be10: Pull complete
     91c95931e552: Already exists
     hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security.
     Digest: sha256:aa03e5d0d5553b4c3473e89c8619cf79df368babd1.7.1cf5daeb82aab55838d
     Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
     Hello from Docker.
     This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
    
     To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
      1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
      2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
         (Assuming it was not already locally available.)
      3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
         executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
      4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
         to your terminal.
    
     To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
      $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
    
     For more examples and ideas, visit:
      http://docs.docker.com/userguide/
    

Install with the script

  1. Log into your machine as a user with sudo or root privileges.

  2. Make sure your existing yum packages are up-to-date.

     $ sudo yum update
    
  3. Run the Docker installation script.

     $ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
    

    This script adds the docker.repo repository and installs Docker.

  4. Start the Docker daemon.

     $ sudo systemctl start docker
    
  5. Verify docker is installed correctly by running a test image in a container.

     $ sudo docker run hello-world
    

Create a docker group

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 other users can access it with sudo. For this reason, docker daemon always runs as the root user.

To avoid having to use sudo when you use the docker command, create a Unix group called docker and add users to it. When the docker daemon starts, it makes the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the docker group.

Warning

: The docker group is equivalent to the root user; For details on how this impacts security in your system, see Docker Daemon Attack Surface for details.

To create the docker group and add your user:

  1. Log into your system as a user with sudo privileges.

  2. Create the docker group and add your user.

    sudo usermod -aG docker your_username

  3. Log out and log back in.

    This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions.

  4. Verify your work by running docker without sudo.

     $ docker run hello-world
    

Start the docker daemon at boot

To ensure Docker starts when you boot your system, do the following:

$ sudo systemctl enable docker

If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our Systemd article to learn how to customize your Systemd Docker daemon options.

Running Docker with a manually-defined network

If you manually configure your network using systemd-network with systemd version 219 or higher, containers you start with Docker may be unable to access your network. Beginning with version 220, the forwarding setting for a given network (net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.forwarding) defaults to off. This setting prevents IP forwarding. It also conflicts with Docker which enables the net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding setting within a container.

To work around this, edit the <interface>.network file in /usr/lib/systemd/network/ on your Docker host (ex: /usr/lib/systemd/network/80-container-host0.network) add the following block:

[Network]
...
IPForward=kernel
# OR
IPForward=true
...

This configuration allows IP forwarding from the container as expected.

Uninstall

You can uninstall the Docker software with yum.

  1. List the package you have installed.

     $ yum list installed | grep docker yum list installed | grep docker
     docker-engine.x86_64     1.7.1-0.1.fc21 @/docker-engine-1.7.1-0.1.fc21.el7.x86_64
    
  2. Remove the package.

     $ sudo yum -y remove docker-engine.x86_64
    

    This command does not remove images, containers, volumes, or user-created configuration files on your host.

  3. To delete all images, containers, and volumes, run the following command:

     $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker
    
  4. Locate and delete any user-created configuration files.
