# Rackspace Cloud
|
|
|
|
Installing Docker on Ubuntu provided by Rackspace is pretty
|
|
straightforward, and you should mostly be able to follow the
|
|
[*Ubuntu*](ubuntulinux.md#ubuntu-linux) installation guide.
|
|
|
|
**However, there is one caveat:**
|
|
|
|
If you are using any Linux not already shipping with the 3.8 kernel you
|
|
will need to install it. And this is a little more difficult on
|
|
Rackspace.
|
|
|
|
Rackspace boots their servers using grub's `menu.lst`
|
|
and does not like non `virtual` packages (e.g., Xen compatible)
|
|
kernels there, although they do work. This results in
|
|
`update-grub` not having the expected result, and
|
|
you will need to set the kernel manually.
|
|
|
|
**Do not attempt this on a production machine!**
|
|
|
|
# update apt
|
|
$ apt-get update
|
|
|
|
# install the new kernel
|
|
$ apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring
|
|
|
|
Great, now you have the kernel installed in `/boot/`, next you need to
|
|
make it boot next time.
|
|
|
|
# find the exact names
|
|
$ find /boot/ -name '*3.8*'
|
|
|
|
# this should return some results
|
|
|
|
Now you need to manually edit `/boot/grub/menu.lst`,
|
|
you will find a section at the bottom with the existing options. Copy
|
|
the top one and substitute the new kernel into that. Make sure the new
|
|
kernel is on top, and double check the kernel and initrd lines point to
|
|
the right files.
|
|
|
|
Take special care to double check the kernel and initrd entries.
|
|
|
|
# now edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|
$ vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
|
|
|
|
It will probably look something like this:
|
|
|
|
## ## End Default Options ##
|
|

title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.8.x generic
|
|
root (hd0)
|
|
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-generic root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash console=hvc0
|
|
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-19-generic
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-38-virtual
|
|
|
|
title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-38-virtual (recovery mode)
|
|
root (hd0)
|
|
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-38-virtual root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash single
|
|
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-38-virtual
|
|
|
|
Reboot the server (either via command line or console)
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
Verify the kernel was updated
|
|
|
|
$ uname -a
|
|
# Linux docker-12-04 3.8.0-19-generic #30~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 22:26:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
# nice! 3.8.
|
|
|
|
Now you can finish with the [*Ubuntu*](ubuntulinux.md#ubuntu-linux)
|
|
instructions.
