dkumor 682a188ead Arch docs: Added lxc-docker-nightly AUR package, modified deps
lxc-docker-nightly installs latest build. Removed go from dependencies, as it is not needed in lxc-docker and lxc-docker-nightly. The -git package will flag go as a dependency upon installation.

Arch Linux
==========

.. include:: install_unofficial.inc
Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but can be handled via
one of the following AUR packages:
* `lxc-docker <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker/>`_
* `lxc-docker-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker-git/>`_
* `lxc-docker-nightly <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker-nightly/>`_
The lxc-docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker.
The lxc-docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
The lxc-docker-nightly package will install the latest build.
Dependencies
------------
Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies in
the AUR packages. The core dependencies are:
* bridge-utils
* device-mapper
* iproute2
* lxc
Installation
------------
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.
::
yaourt -S lxc-docker
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
