Fedora

Docker is supported on the following versions of Fedora:

  • Fedora 20
  • Fedora 21
  • Fedora 22

This page instructs you to install using Docker-managed release packages and installation mechanisms. Using these packages ensures you get the latest release of Docker. If you wish to install using Fedora-managed packages, consult your Fedora release documentation for information on Fedora's Docker support.

##Prerequisites

Docker requires a 64-bit installation regardless of your Fedora version. Also, your kernel must be 3.10 at minimum. To check your current kernel version, open a terminal and use uname -r to display your kernel version:

$ uname -r 
3.19.5-100.fc20.x86_64

If your kernel is at a older version, you must update it.

Finally, is it recommended that you fully update your system. Please keep in mind that your system should be fully patched to fix any potential kernel bugs. Any reported kernel bugs may have already been fixed on the latest kernel packages

Install

You use the same installation procedure for all versions of Fedora, only the package you install differs. Choose from these packages:

Version Package name
Fedora 20

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc20.src.rpm

Fedora 21

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc21.src.rpm

Fedora 22

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm

docker-engine-1.7.0-1.fc22.src.rpm

This procedure depicts an installation on version 21. If you are installing on 20 or 22, substitute that package for your installation.

  1. Log into your machine as a user with sudo or root privileges.

  2. Make sure you don't have an older version of Docker installed.

     $ yum list installed | grep docker
    

    If you have an older version, remove it using the yum -y remove <packagename> command.

  3. Download the Docker RPM to the current directory.

     $ curl -O -sSL https://url_to_package/docker-engine-1.7.0-0.1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
    
  4. Use yum to install the package.

     $ sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck docker-engine-1.7.0-0.1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
    
  5. Start the Docker daemon.

     $ sudo service docker start
    
  6. Verify docker is installed correctly by running a test image in a container.

     $ sudo docker run hello-world
     Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
     latest: Pulling from hello-world
     a8219747be10: Pull complete 
     91c95931e552: Already exists 
     hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security.
     Digest: sha256:aa03e5d0d5553b4c3473e89c8619cf79df368babd18681cf5daeb82aab55838d
     Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
     Hello from Docker.
     This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
    
     To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
      1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
      2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
     		(Assuming it was not already locally available.)
      3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
     		executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
      4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
     		to your terminal.
    
     To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
      $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
    
     For more examples and ideas, visit:
      http://docs.docker.com/userguide/
    

Create a docker group

The docker daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By default that Unix socket is owned by the user root and other users can access it with sudo. For this reason, docker daemon always runs as the root user.

To avoid having to use sudo when you use the docker command, create a Unix group called docker and add users to it. When the docker daemon starts, it makes the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the docker group.

Warning

: The docker group is equivalent to the root user; For details on how this impacts security in your system, see Docker Daemon Attack Surface for details.

To create the docker group and add your user:

  1. Log into your system as a user with sudo privileges.

  2. Create the docker group and add your user.

    sudo usermod -aG docker your_username

  3. Log out and log back in.

    This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions.

  4. Verify your work by running docker without sudo.

     $ docker run hello-world
     		Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
     		latest: Pulling from hello-world
     		a8219747be10: Pull complete 
     		91c95931e552: Already exists 
     		hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security.
     		Digest: sha256:aa03e5d0d5553b4c3473e89c8619cf79df368babd18681cf5daeb82aab55838d
     		Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
     		Hello from Docker.
     		This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
    
     		To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
     		 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
     		 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
     				(Assuming it was not already locally available.)
     		 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
     				executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
     		 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
     				to your terminal.
    
     		To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
     		 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash
    
     		For more examples and ideas, visit:
     		 http://docs.docker.com/userguide/
    

Start the docker daemon at boot

To ensure Docker starts when you boot your system, do the following:

$ sudo chkconfig docker on

If you need to add an HTTP Proxy, set a different directory or partition for the Docker runtime files, or make other customizations, read our Systemd article to learn how to customize your Systemd Docker daemon options.

Uninstall

You can uninstall the Docker software with yum.

  1. List the package you have installed.

     $ yum list installed | grep docker
     yum list installed | grep docker
     docker-engine.x86_64                1.7.0-0.1.fc20
     																																						 @/docker-engine-1.7.0-0.1.fc20.el6.x86_64
    
  2. Remove the package.

     $ sudo yum -y remove docker-engine.x86_64 
    

    This command does not remove images, containers, volumes, or user-created configuration files on your host.

  3. To delete all images, containers, and volumes, run the following command:

     $ rm -rf /var/lib/docker
    
  4. Locate and delete any user-created configuration files.
