This PR aims to increase the consistency across the docs for code blocks and code/comment/output markings. Rule followed here is "what's visible on the screen should be reflected" Issue: - Docs had various code blocks showing: comments, commands & outputs. - All three of these items were inconsistently marked. Some examples as to how this PR aims to introduce improvements: 1. Removed `> ` from in front of the "outputs". Eg, ` > REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED` replaced with: ` REPOSITORY TAG ID CREATED`. 2. Introduced `$` for commands. Eg, ` sudo chkconfig docker on` replaced with: ` $ sudo chkconfig docker on` 3. Comments: ` > # ` replaced with: ` # `. > Please note: > Due to a vast amount of items reviewed and changed for this PR, there > might be some individually incorrect replacements OR patterns of incorrect > replacements. This PR needs to be reviewed and if there is anything missing, > it should be improved or amended. Closes: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/5286 Docker-DCO-1.1-Signed-off-by: O.S.

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
|
