Installing Docker

Table: Installing Docker

Platform

Description

Docker on Ubuntu

Supported version: Docker 18.03 and later

Refer to the following documentation for instructions on installing Docker on Ubuntu:

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/#set-up-the-repository

Docker on RHEL

Supported version: Docker 1.13.x and later

Use the following process to install Docker on RHEL. Steps may vary depending on whether CloudPoint is being deployed on-premise or in the cloud.

  • (If CloudPoint is being deployed in AWS cloud) Ensure that you enable the extra repos:

    # sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras

  • (If CloudPoint is being deployed on-premise) Enable your subscriptions:

    # sudo subscription-manager register --auto-attach --username=<username> --password=<password>

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

  • Install Docker using the following command:

    # sudo yum -y install docker

  • (If CloudPoint is being deployed in Azure cloud) Enable shared mounts.

    • Edit the docker.service system unit file and modify the parameter MountFlags=slave to MountFlags=shared.

    • Save and close the unit file and then verify the change using the following command:

      # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service | grep MountFlags

      The output should appear as MountFlags=shared.

  • Reload the system manager configuration using the following command:

    # sudo systemctl daemon-reload

  • Enable and then restart the docker service using the following commands:

    # sudo systemctl enable docker

    # sudo systemctl restart docker

  • If SELinux is enabled, change the mode to permissive mode.

    Edit the /etc/selinux/config configuration file and modify the SELINUX parameter value to SELINUX=permissive.

  • Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

  • Verify that the SELinux mode change is in effect using the following command:

    # sudo sestatus

    The Current Mode parameter value in the command output should appear as permissive.
