- :title: Installation on Arch Linux
- :description: Docker installation on Arch Linux.
- :keywords: arch linux, virtualization, docker, documentation, installation
- .. _arch_linux:
- Arch Linux
- ==========
- .. include:: install_header.inc
- .. include:: install_unofficial.inc
- Installing on Arch Linux is not officially supported but can be handled via
- either of the following AUR packages:
- * `lxc-docker <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker/>`_
- * `lxc-docker-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxc-docker-git/>`_
- The lxc-docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker.
- The lxc-docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
- Dependencies
- ------------
- Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies in
- either AUR package.
- * aufs3
- * bridge-utils
- * go
- * iproute2
- * linux-aufs_friendly
- * lxc
- Installation
- ------------
- The instructions here assume **yaourt** is installed. See
- `Arch User Repository <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages>`_
- for information on building and installing packages from the AUR if you have not
- done so before.
- Keep in mind that if **linux-aufs_friendly** is not already installed that a
- new kernel will be compiled and this can take quite a while.
- ::
- yaourt -S lxc-docker-git
- Starting Docker
- ---------------
- Prior to starting docker modify your bootloader to use the
- **linux-aufs_friendly** kernel and reboot your system.
- There is a systemd service unit created for docker. To start the docker service:
- ::
- sudo systemctl start docker
- To start on system boot:
- ::
- sudo systemctl enable docker
-
- Network Configuration
- ---------------------
- IPv4 packet forwarding is disabled by default on Arch, so internet access from inside
- the container may not work.
- To enable the forwarding, run as root on the host system:
- ::
- sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
-
- And, to make it persistent across reboots, enable it on the host's **/etc/sysctl.d/docker.conf**:
- ::
- net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
