Installing Docker on Ubuntu provided by Rackspace is pretty
|
||
straightforward, and you should mostly be able to follow the
|
||
[*Ubuntu*](../ubuntulinux/#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 results in
|
||
`update-grub` not having the expected result, and
|
||
you will need to set the kernel manually.
|
||
|
||
**Do not attempt this on a production machine!**
|
||
|
||
# update apt
|
||
apt-get update
|
||
|
||
# install the new kernel
|
||
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring
|
||
|
||
Great, now you have the kernel installed in `/boot/`, next you need to
|
||
make it boot next time.
|
||
|
||
# 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 the kernel and initrd lines point to
|
||
the right files.
|
||
|
||
Take special care to double check the kernel and initrd entries.
|
||
|
||
# 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 the server (either via command line or console)
|
||
|
||
# reboot
|
||
|
||
Verify the kernel was updated
|
||
|
||
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 [*Ubuntu*](../ubuntulinux/#ubuntu-linux)
|
||
instructions.
