- .. _arch_linux:
- Arch Linux
- ==========
- .. include:: install_header.inc
- .. include:: install_unofficial.inc
- Installing on Arch Linux can be handled via the package in community:
- * `docker <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/docker/>`_
- or the following AUR package:
- * `docker-git <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/docker-git/>`_
- The docker package will install the latest tagged version of docker.
- The docker-git package will build from the current master branch.
- Dependencies
- ------------
- Docker depends on several packages which are specified as dependencies in
- the packages. The core dependencies are:
- * bridge-utils
- * device-mapper
- * iproute2
- * lxc
- * sqlite
- Installation
- ------------
- For the normal package a simple
- ::
- pacman -S docker
-
- is all that is needed.
- For the AUR package execute:
- ::
- yaourt -S docker-git
-
- 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.
- Starting Docker
- ---------------
- 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
