# CentOS
CentOS (abbreviated from Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Linux
distribution that attempts to provide a free, enterprise-class,
community-supported computing platform which aims to be 100% binary compatible
with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In January 2014, it
was announced that CentOS was officially joining forces with Red Hat while
staying independent from RHEL, under a new CentOS Governing Board.
CentOS Linux is a community-supported distribution derived from sources
freely provided to the public by [Red Hat](ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/)
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). As such, CentOS Linux aims to be
functionally compatible with RHEL. The CentOS Project mainly changes
packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS Linux
is no-cost and free to redistribute. Each CentOS Linux version is maintained
for up to 10 years (by means of security updates -- the duration of the
support interval by Red Hat has varied over time with respect to Sources
released). A new CentOS Linux version is released approximately every 2 years
and each CentOS Linux version is periodically updated (roughly every 6 months)
to support newer hardware. This results in a secure, low-maintenance,
reliable, predictable, and reproducible Linux environment.

This is the official CentOS image, and will be updated on a regular schedule or
as needed for emergency fixes.
The `centos:latest` tag will always point to the most recent version currently
available, and `centos:centos6` will point to the latest version of the CentOS 6 tree.

# CentOS image documentation
The `centos:latest` tag is always the most recent version currently
available.
The CentOS Project offers regularly updated images for all active releases.
These images will be updated monthly or as needed for emergency fixes. These
rolling updates are tagged with the major version number only.
For example: `docker pull centos:6` or `docker pull centos:7`
Additionally, images that correspond to install media are also offered. These
images DO NOT recieve updates as they are intended to match installation iso
contents. If you choose to use these images it is highly recommended that you
include `RUN yum -y update && yum clean all` in your Dockerfile, or otherwise
address any potential security concerns. To use these images, please specify
the minor version tag:
For example: `docker pull centos:5.11` or `docker pull centos:6.6`
# Systemd integration
Currently, systemd in CentOS 7 has been removed and replaced with a
`fakesystemd` package for dependency resolution. This is due to systemd
requiring the `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` capability, as well as being able to read
the host's cgroups. If you wish to replace the fakesystemd package and
use systemd normally, please follow the steps below.
## Dockerfile for systemd base image
FROM centos:7
MAINTAINER "you" <your@email.here>
ENV container docker
RUN yum -y swap -- remove fakesystemd -- install systemd systemd-libs
RUN yum -y update; yum clean all; \
(cd /lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/; for i in *; do [ $i ==
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service ] || rm -f $i; done); \
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/*;\
rm -f /etc/systemd/system/*.wants/*;\
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/*; \
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/*udev*; \
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/*initctl*; \
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/*;\
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/anaconda.target.wants/*;
VOLUME [ "/sys/fs/cgroup" ]
CMD ["/usr/sbin/init"]
This Dockerfile swaps out fakesystemd for the real package, but deletes a
number of unit files which might cause issues. From here, you are ready
to build your base image.
docker build --rm -t local/c7-systemd .
## Example systemd enabled app container
In order to use the systemd enabled base container created above, you will
need to create your `Dockerfile` similar to the one below.
FROM local/c7-systemd
RUN yum -y install httpd; yum clean all; systemctl enable httpd.service
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["/usr/sbin/init"]
Build this image:
docker build --rm -t local/c7-systemd-httpd
## Running a systemd enabled app container
In order to run a container with systemd, you will need to use the
`--privileged` option mentioned earlier, as well as mounting the cgroups
volumes from the host. Below is an example command that will run the
systemd enabled httpd container created earlier.
docker run --privileged -ti -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -p 80:80 local/c7-systemd-httpd
This container is running with systemd in a limited context, but it must
always be run as a privileged container with the cgroups filesystem mounted.
# Supported Docker versions
This image is officially supported on Docker version 1.4.1.
