# Debian
|
|
|
|
Docker is supported on the following versions of Debian:
|
|
|
|
- [*Debian 8.0 Jessie (64-bit)*](#debian-jessie-8-64-bit)
|
|
|
|
## Debian Jessie 8.0 (64-bit)
|
|
|
|
Debian 8 comes with a 3.14.0 Linux kernel, and a `docker.io` package which
|
|
installs all its prerequisites from Debian's repository.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**:
|
|
> Debian contains a much older KDE3/GNOME2 package called ``docker``, so the
|
|
> package and the executable are called ``docker.io``.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
To install the latest Debian package (may not be the latest Docker release):
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install docker.io
|
|
$ sudo sed -i '$acomplete -F _docker docker' /etc/bash_completion.d/docker.io
|
|
|
|
To verify that everything has worked as expected:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
Which should download the `ubuntu` image, and then start `bash` in a container.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**:
|
|
> If you want to enable memory and swap accounting see
|
|
> [this](/installation/ubuntulinux/#memory-and-swap-accounting).
|
|
|
|
### Giving non-root access
|
|
|
|
The `docker` daemon always runs as the `root` user and 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 so, by default, you can
|
|
access it with `sudo`.
|
|
|
|
If you (or your Docker installer) create a Unix group called `docker`
|
|
and add users to it, then the `docker` daemon will make the ownership of
|
|
the Unix socket read/writable by the `docker` group when the daemon
|
|
starts. The `docker` daemon must always run as the root user, but if you
|
|
run the `docker` client as a user in the `docker` group then you don't
|
|
need to add `sudo` to all the client commands. From Docker 0.9.0 you can
|
|
use the `-G` flag to specify an alternative group.
|
|
|
|
> **Warning**:
|
|
> The `docker` group (or the group specified with the `-G` flag) is
|
|
> `root`-equivalent; see [*Docker Daemon Attack Surface*](
|
|
> /articles/security/#dockersecurity-daemon) details.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
# Add the docker group if it doesn't already exist.
|
|
$ sudo groupadd docker
|
|
|
|
# Add the connected user "${USER}" to the docker group.
|
|
# Change the user name to match your preferred user.
|
|
# You may have to logout and log back in again for
|
|
# this to take effect.
|
|
$ sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
|
|
|
|
# Restart the Docker daemon.
|
|
$ sudo service docker restart
|
|
