|
|
To get started with Docker Engine on Fedora, make sure you
|
|
[meet the prerequisites](#prerequisites), then
|
|
[install Docker](#installation-methods).
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
### OS requirements
|
|
|
|
To install Docker Engine, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Fedora versions:
|
|
|
|
- Fedora 30
|
|
- Fedora 31
|
|
|
|
### Uninstall old versions
|
|
|
|
Older versions of Docker were called `docker` or `docker-engine`. If these are
|
|
installed, uninstall them, along with associated dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf remove docker \
|
|
docker-client \
|
|
docker-client-latest \
|
|
docker-common \
|
|
docker-latest \
|
|
docker-latest-logrotate \
|
|
docker-logrotate \
|
|
docker-selinux \
|
|
docker-engine-selinux \
|
|
docker-engine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's OK if `dnf` reports that none of these packages are installed.
|
|
|
|
The contents of `/var/lib/docker/`, including images, containers, volumes, and
|
|
networks, are preserved. The Docker Engine package is now called `docker-ce`.
|
|
|
|
## Installation methods
|
|
|
|
You can install Docker Engine in different ways, depending on your needs:
|
|
|
|
- Most users
|
|
[set up Docker's repositories](#install-using-the-repository) and install
|
|
from them, for ease of installation and upgrade tasks. This is the
|
|
recommended approach.
|
|
|
|
- Some users download the RPM package and
|
|
[install it manually](#install-from-a-package) and manage
|
|
upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing
|
|
Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
|
|
|
|
- In testing and development environments, some users choose to use automated
|
|
[convenience scripts](#install-using-the-convenience-script) to install Docker.
|
|
|
|
### Install using the repository
|
|
|
|
Before you install Docker Engine for the first time on a new host machine, you need
|
|
to set up the Docker repository. Afterward, you can install and update Docker
|
|
from the repository.
|
|
|
|
#### Set up the repository
|
|
|
|
{% assign download-url-base = "https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora" %}
|
|
|
|
Install the `dnf-plugins-core` package (which provides the commands to manage
|
|
your DNF repositories) and set up the **stable** repository.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dnf config-manager \
|
|
--add-repo \
|
|
{{ download-url-base }}/docker-ce.repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Optional**: Enable the **nightly** or **test** repositories.
|
|
>
|
|
> These repositories are included in the `docker.repo` file above but are disabled
|
|
> by default. You can enable them alongside the stable repository. The following
|
|
> command enables the **nightly** repository.
|
|
>
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> $ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-nightly
|
|
> ```
|
|
>
|
|
> To enable the **test** channel, run the following command:
|
|
>
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> $ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-test
|
|
> ```
|
|
>
|
|
> You can disable the **nightly** or **test** repository by running the
|
|
> `dnf config-manager` command with the `--set-disabled` flag. To re-enable it,
|
|
> use the `--set-enabled` flag. The following command disables the **nightly**
|
|
> repository.
|
|
>
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> $ sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled docker-ce-nightly
|
|
> ```
|
|
>
|
|
> [Learn about **nightly** and **test** channels](index.md).
|
|
|
|
#### Install Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
1. Install the _latest version_ of Docker Engine and containerd, or go to the next step to install a specific version:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If prompted to accept the GPG key, verify that the fingerprint matches
|
|
`060A 61C5 1B55 8A7F 742B 77AA C52F EB6B 621E 9F35`, and if so, accept it.
|
|
|
|
> Got multiple Docker repositories?
|
|
>
|
|
> If you have multiple Docker repositories enabled, installing
|
|
> or updating without specifying a version in the `dnf install` or
|
|
> `dnf update` command always installs the highest possible version,
|
|
> which may not be appropriate for your stability needs.
|
|
|
|
Docker is installed but not started. The `docker` group is created, but no users are added to the group.
|
|
|
|
2. To install a _specific version_ of Docker Engine, list the available versions
|
|
in the repo, then select and install:
|
|
|
|
a. List and sort the versions available in your repo. This example sorts
|
|
results by version number, highest to lowest, and is truncated:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ dnf list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
|
|
|
|
docker-ce.x86_64 3:18.09.1-3.fc28 docker-ce-stable
|
|
docker-ce.x86_64 3:18.09.0-3.fc28 docker-ce-stable
|
|
docker-ce.x86_64 18.06.1.ce-3.fc28 docker-ce-stable
|
|
docker-ce.x86_64 18.06.0.ce-3.fc28 docker-ce-stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The list returned depends on which repositories are enabled, and is specific
|
|
to your version of Fedora (indicated by the `.fc28` suffix in this example).
|
|
|
|
b. Install a specific version by its fully qualified package name, which is
|
|
the package name (`docker-ce`) plus the version string (2nd column) up to
|
|
the first hyphen, separated by a hyphen (`-`), for example,
|
|
`docker-ce-3:18.09.1`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf -y install docker-ce-<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli-<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Docker is installed but not started. The `docker` group is created, but no users are added to the group.
|
|
|
|
3. Cgroups Exception:
|
|
For Fedora 31 and higher, you need to enable the [backward compatibility for Cgroups](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F31_bugs#Other_software_issues).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After running the command, you must reboot for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
4. Start Docker.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
|
|
image.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
|
|
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
|
|
|
|
Docker Engine is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker
|
|
commands. Continue to [Linux postinstall](linux-postinstall.md) to allow
|
|
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
|
|
steps.
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
To upgrade Docker Engine, follow the [installation instructions](#install-using-the-repository),
|
|
choosing the new version you want to install.
|
|
|
|
### Install from a package
|
|
|
|
If you cannot use Docker's repository to install Docker, you can download the
|
|
`.rpm` file for your release and install it manually. You need to download
|
|
a new file each time you want to upgrade Docker Engine.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to [{{ download-url-base }}/]({{ download-url-base }}/){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }
|
|
and choose your version of Fedora. Then browse to `x86_64/stable/Packages/`
|
|
and download the `.rpm` file for the Docker version you want to install.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: To install a **nightly** or **test** (pre-release) package,
|
|
> change the word `stable` in the above URL to `nightly` or `test`.
|
|
> [Learn about **nightly** and **test** channels](index.md).
|
|
|
|
2. Install Docker Engine, changing the path below to the path where you downloaded
|
|
the Docker package.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf -y install /path/to/package.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Docker is installed but not started. The `docker` group is created, but no
|
|
users are added to the group.
|
|
|
|
3. Start Docker.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly by running the `hello-world`
|
|
image.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo docker run hello-world
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the
|
|
container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
|
|
|
|
Docker Engine is installed and running. You need to use `sudo` to run Docker commands.
|
|
Continue to [Post-installation steps for Linux](linux-postinstall.md) to allow
|
|
non-privileged users to run Docker commands and for other optional configuration
|
|
steps.
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrade Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
To upgrade Docker Engine, download the newer package file and repeat the
|
|
[installation procedure](#install-from-a-package), using `dnf -y upgrade`
|
|
instead of `dnf -y install`, and pointing to the new file.
|
|
|
|
{% include install-script.md %}
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall Docker Engine
|
|
|
|
1. Uninstall the Docker Engine, CLI, and Containerd packages:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo dnf remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Images, containers, volumes, or customized configuration files on your host
|
|
are not automatically removed. To delete all images, containers, and
|
|
volumes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must delete any edited configuration files manually.
|
|
|
|
