Arch Linux

Installing on Arch Linux 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
|
|
* sqlite
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
For the normal package a simple
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
pacman -S docker
|
|
|
|
is all that is needed.
|
|
|
|
For the AUR package execute:
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
yaourt -S 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
|
