CRUX Linux

Note

Docker is still under heavy development! We don't recommend using it in production yet, but we're getting closer with each release. Please see our blog post, Getting to Docker 1.0

Note

This is a community contributed installation path. The only official installation is using the Ubuntu installation path. This version may be out of date because it depends on some binaries to be updated and published.

Installing on CRUX Linux can be handled via the ports from James Mills and are included in the official contrib ports:

• docker
• docker-bin

The docker port will install the latest tagged version of Docker. The docker-bin port will install the latest tagged version of Docker from upstream built binaries.

Installation

Assuming you have contrib enabled, update your ports tree and install docker (as root):

# prt-get depinst docker

You can install docker-bin instead if you wish to avoid compilation time.

Kernel Requirements

To have a working CRUX+Docker Host you must ensure your Kernel has the necessary modules enabled for LXC containers to function correctly and Docker Daemon to work properly.

Please read the README:

$ prt-get readme docker

The docker and docker-bin ports install the contrib/check-config.sh script provided by the Docker contributors for checking your kernel configuration as a suitable Docker Host.

$ /usr/share/docker/check-config.sh

Starting Docker

There is a rc script created for Docker. To start the Docker service (as root):

# /etc/rc.d/docker start

To start on system boot:

• Edit /etc/rc.conf
• Put docker into the SERVICES=(...) array after net.

Issues

If you have any issues please file a bug with the CRUX Bug Tracker.
