**This instruction set is meant for hackers who want to try out Docker
|
|
on a variety of environments.**
|
|
|
|
Before following these directions, you should really check if a packaged version
|
|
of Docker is already available for your distribution. We have packages for many
|
|
distributions, and more keep showing up all the time!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check runtime dependencies
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
To run properly, docker needs the following software to be installed at runtime:
|
|
|
|
- GNU Tar version 1.26 or later
|
|
- iproute2 version 3.5 or later (build after 2012-05-21), and specifically the "ip" utility
|
|
- iptables version 1.4 or later
|
|
- The LXC utility scripts (http://lxc.sourceforge.net) version 0.8 or later
|
|
- Git version 1.7 or later
|
|
- XZ Utils 4.9 or later
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check kernel dependencies
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Docker in daemon mode has specific kernel requirements. For details, see
|
|
http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/articles/kernel/
|
|
|
|
Note that Docker also has a client mode, which can run on virtually any linux kernel (it even builds
|
|
on OSX!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get the docker binary:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
wget https://get.docker.io/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-latest -O docker
|
|
chmod +x docker
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the docker daemon
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# start the docker in daemon mode from the directory you unpacked
|
|
sudo ./docker -d &
|
|
|
|
Upgrades
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To upgrade your manual installation of Docker, first kill the docker daemon:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
killall docker
|
|
|
|
Then follow the regular installation steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run your first container!
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# check your docker version
|
|
sudo ./docker version
|
|
|
|
# run a container and open an interactive shell in the container
|
|
sudo ./docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continue with the :ref:`hello_world` example.
