Gentoo Linux
============
.. include:: install_header.inc
.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Installing Docker on Gentoo Linux can be accomplished by using the overlay provided at https://github.com/tianon/docker-overlay. The most up-to-date documentation for properly installing the overlay can be found in the overlay README. The information here is provided for reference, and may be out of date.
Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ensure that layman is installed:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo emerge -av app-portage/layman
Using your favorite editor, add ``https://raw.github.com/tianon/docker-overlay/master/repositories.xml`` to the ``overlays`` section in ``/etc/layman/layman.cfg`` (as per instructions on the `Gentoo Wiki <http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman#Adding_custom_overlays>`_), then invoke the following:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo layman -f -a docker
Once that completes, the ``app-emulation/lxc-docker`` package will be available for emerge:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo emerge -av app-emulation/lxc-docker
If you prefer to use the official binaries, or just do not wish to compile docker, emerge ``app-emulation/lxc-docker-bin`` instead. It is important to remember that Gentoo is still an unsupported platform, even when using the official binaries.
The package should already include all the necessary dependencies. For the simplest installation experience, use ``sys-kernel/aufs-sources`` directly as your kernel sources. If you prefer not to use ``sys-kernel/aufs-sources``, the portage tree also contains ``sys-fs/aufs3``, which contains the patches necessary for adding AUFS support to other kernel source packages (and a ``kernel-patch`` use flag to perform the patching automatically).
Between ``app-emulation/lxc`` and ``app-emulation/lxc-docker``, all the necessary kernel configuration flags should be checked for and warned about in the standard manner.
If any issues arise from this ebuild or the resulting binary, including and especially missing kernel configuration flags and/or dependencies, `open an issue <https://github.com/tianon/docker-overlay/issues>`_ on the docker-overlay repository or ping tianon in the #docker IRC channel.
Starting Docker
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ensure that you are running a kernel that includes the necessary AUFS support and includes all the necessary modules and/or configuration for LXC.
OpenRC
------
To start the docker daemon:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo /etc/init.d/docker start
To start on system boot:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo rc-update add docker default
systemd
-------
To start the docker daemon:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl start docker.service
To start on system boot:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
Network Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IPv4 packet forwarding is disabled by default, so internet access from inside the container will not work unless ``net.ipv4.ip_forward`` is enabled:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Or, to enable it more permanently:
.. code-block:: bash
echo net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/docker.conf
fork/exec /usr/sbin/lxc-start: operation not permitted
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unfortunately, Gentoo suffers from `issue #1422 <https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/1422>`_, meaning that after every fresh start of docker, the first docker run fails due to some tricky terminal issues, so be sure to run something trivial (such as ``docker run -i -t busybox echo hi``) before attempting to run anything important.
