Fedora
Note
Docker is still under heavy development! We don’t recommend using it in production yet, but we’re getting closer with each release. Please see our blog post, Getting to Docker 1.0
Note
This is a community contributed installation path. The only ‘official’ installation is using the Ubuntu installation path. This version may be out of date because it depends on some binaries to be updated and published.
Docker is available in Fedora 19 and later. Please note that due to the current Docker limitations Docker is able to run only on the 64 bit architecture.
Installation
The docker-io package provides Docker on Fedora.
If you have the (unrelated) docker package installed already, it will
conflict with docker-io. There’s a bug
report filed for
it. To proceed with docker-io installation on Fedora 19, please remove
docker first.
sudo yum -y remove docker
For Fedora 20 and later, the wmdocker package will
provide the same functionality as docker and will
also not conflict with docker-io.
sudo yum -y install wmdocker
sudo yum -y remove docker
Install the docker-io package which will install
Docker on our host.
sudo yum -y install docker-io
To update the docker-io package:
sudo yum -y update docker-io
Now that it’s installed, let’s start the Docker daemon.
sudo systemctl start docker
If we want Docker to start at boot, we should also:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Now let’s verify that Docker is working.
sudo docker run -i -t fedora /bin/bash
Done!, now continue with the Hello World example.
