Rackspace Cloud

|
Please note this is a community contributed installation path. The only 'official' installation is using the
|
|
:ref:`ubuntu_linux` installation path. This version may sometimes be out of date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Docker on Ubuntu provided by Rackspace is pretty straightforward, and you should mostly be able to follow the
|
|
:ref:`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 makes ``update-grub`` to not have the expected result, and you need to
|
|
set the kernel manually.
|
|
|
|
**Do not attempt this on a production machine!**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# update apt
|
|
apt-get update
|
|
|
|
# install the new kernel
|
|
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring
|
|
|
|
|
|
Great, now you have kernel installed in /boot/, next is to make it boot next time.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# 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 kernel
|
|
and initrd point to the right files.
|
|
|
|
Make special care to double check the kernel and initrd entries.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
title Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-38-virtual
|
|
root (hd0)
|
|
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-38-virtual root=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash console=hvc0
|
|
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 server (either via command line or console)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# reboot
|
|
|
|
Verify the kernel was updated
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
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 :ref:`ubuntu_linux` instructions. |
