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
|
