### Distribution-specific hint
#### Debian (excluding Ubuntu)
* `sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone"` is required
Using Ubuntu kernel is recommended.
#### Ubuntu
* No preparation is needed.
* `overlay2` is enabled by default ([Ubuntu-specific kernel patch](https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git/commit/fs/overlayfs?id=3b7da90f28fe1ed4b79ef2d994c81efbc58f1144)).
* Known to work on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
#### Debian GNU/Linux
* Add `kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or `/etc/sysctl.d`) and run `sudo sysctl -p`
* To use `overlay2` storage driver (recommended), run `sudo modprobe overlay permit_mounts_in_userns=1` ([Debian-specific kernel patch, introduced in Debian 10](https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/blob/283390e7feb21b47779b48e0c8eb0cc409d2c815/debian/patches/debian/overlayfs-permit-mounts-in-userns.patch)). Put the configuration to `/etc/modprobe.d` for persistence.
* Known to work on Debian 9 and 10. `overlay2` is only supported since Debian 10 and needs `modprobe` configuration described above.
#### Arch Linux
* `sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone"` is required
* Add `kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or `/etc/sysctl.d`) and run `sudo sysctl -p`
#### openSUSE
* `sudo modprobe ip_tables iptable_mangle iptable_nat iptable_filter` is required. (This is likely to be required on other distros as well)
* Known to work on openSUSE 15.
#### Fedora 31 and later
* Run `sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"` and reboot.
#### Fedora 30
* No preparation is needed
#### RHEL/CentOS 8
* No preparation is needed
#### RHEL/CentOS 7
* `sudo sh -c "echo 28633 > /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces"` is required
* [COPR package `vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap`](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap/) needs to be installed
* Add `user.max_user_namespaces=28633` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or `/etc/sysctl.d`) and run `sudo sysctl -p`
* `systemctl --user` does not work by default. Run the daemon directly without systemd: `dockerd-rootless.sh --experimental --storage-driver vfs`
* Known to work on RHEL/CentOS 7.7. Older releases require extra configuration steps.
* RHEL/CentOS 7.6 and older releases require [COPR package `vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap`](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap/) to be installed.
* RHEL/CentOS 7.5 and older releases require running `sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="user_namespace.enable=1"` and reboot.
## Restrictions
## Known limitations
* Only `vfs` graphdriver is supported. However, on [Ubuntu](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-artful.git/commit/fs/overlayfs?h=Ubuntu-4.13.0-25.29&id=0a414bdc3d01f3b61ed86cfe3ce8b63a9240eba7) and a few distros, `overlay2` and `overlay` are also supported.
* Only `vfs` graphdriver is supported. However, on Ubuntu and Debian 10, `overlay2` and `overlay` are also supported.
* Following features are not supported:
* Cgroups (including `docker top`, which depends on the cgroups device controller)
* Apparmor
* Checkpoint
* Overlay network
* Exposing SCTP ports
* To expose a TCP/UDP port, the host port number needs to be set to >= 1024.
* To use `ping` command, see [Routing ping packets](#routing-ping-packets)
* To expose privileged TCP/UDP ports (< 1024), see [Exposing privileged ports](#exposing-privileged-ports)
## Install
The installation script is available at https://get.docker.com/rootless .
```console
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/rootless | sh
```
Make sure to run the script as a non-root user.
The script will show the environment variables that are needed to be set:
```console
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/rootless | sh
...
# Docker binaries are installed in /home/penguin/bin
# WARN: dockerd is not in your current PATH or pointing to /home/penguin/bin/dockerd
# Make sure the following environment variables are set (or add them to ~/.bashrc):
export PATH=/home/penguin/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1001/docker.sock
#
# To control docker service run:
# systemctl --user (start|stop|restart) docker
#
```
To install the binaries manually without using the installer, extract `docker-rootless-extras-<version>.tar.gz` along with `docker-<version>.tar.gz`: https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/x86_64/
## Usage
### Daemon
You need to run `dockerd-rootless.sh` instead of `dockerd`.
Use `systemctl --user` to manage the lifecycle of the daemon:
```console
$ dockerd-rootless.sh --experimental
$ systemctl --user start docker
```
As Rootless mode is experimental per se, currently you always need to run `dockerd-rootless.sh` with `--experimental`.
To launch the daemon on system startup, enable systemd lingering:
```console
$ sudo loginctl enable-linger $(whoami)
```
To run the daemon directly without systemd, you need to run `dockerd-rootless.sh` instead of `dockerd`:
```console
$ dockerd-rootless.sh --experimental --storage-driver vfs
```
As Rootless mode is experimental, currently you always need to run `dockerd-rootless.sh` with `--experimental`.
You also need `--storage-driver vfs` unless using Ubuntu or Debian 10 kernel.
Remarks:
* The socket path is set to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock` by default. `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is typically set to `/run/user/$UID`.

### Client
You can just use the upstream Docker client but you need to set the socket path explicitly.
You need to set the socket path explicitly.
```console
$ docker -H unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock run -d nginx
$ export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock
$ docker run -d nginx
```
### Rootless Docker in Docker
To run Rootless Docker inside "rootful" Docker, use `docker:<version>-dind-rootless` image instead of `docker:<version>-dind` image.
```console
$ docker run -d --name dind-rootless --privileged docker:19.03-dind-rootless --experimental
```
`docker:<version>-dind-rootless` image runs as a non-root user (UID 1000).
However, `--privileged` is required for disabling seccomp, AppArmor, and mount masks.
### Expose Docker API socket via TCP
To expose the Docker API socket via TCP, you need to launch `dockerd-rootless.sh` with `DOCKERD_ROOTLESS_ROOTLESSKIT_FLAGS="-p 0.0.0.0:2376:2376/tcp"`.

### Routing ping packets
To route ping packets, you need to set up `net.ipv4.ping_group_range` properly as the root.
Add `net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or `/etc/sysctl.d`) and run `sudo sysctl -p`.
### Exposing privileged ports
To expose privileged ports (< 1024), set `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` on `rootlesskit` binary.
```console
$ sudo sh -c "echo 0 2147483647 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range"
$ sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=ep $HOME/bin/rootlesskit
```
Or add `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=0` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or `/etc/sysctl.d`) and run `sudo sysctl -p`.
### Limiting resources
Currently rootless mode ignores cgroup-related `docker run` flags such as `--cpus` and `memory`.
However, traditional `ulimit` and [`cpulimit`](https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit) can be still used, though it works in process-granularity rather than container-granularity.
### Changing network stack
`dockerd-rootless.sh` uses [slirp4netns](https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns) (if installed) or [VPNKit](https://github.com/moby/vpnkit) as the network stack by default.
