To get started with Docker EE on {{ linux-dist-long }}, make sure you meet the prerequisites, then install Docker.

Prerequisites

Docker Community Edition (Docker CE) is not supported on {{ linux-dist-long }}.

Docker EE repository URL

{% include ee-linux-install-reuse.md section="ee-url-intro" %}

OS requirements

To install Docker EE, you need the 64-bit version of {{ linux-dist-long }} 7.3 or higher, running the Red Hat Compatible kernel (RHCK) 3.10.0-514 or higher. Older versions of {{ linux-dist-long }} are not supported.

In addition, you must use the devicemapper storage driver if you use Docker EE. On production systems, you must use direct-lvm mode, which requires one or more dedicated block devices. Fast storage such as solid-state media (SSD) is recommended.

Docker EE will not install on {{ linux-dist }} with selinux enabled!

If you have selinux enabled and you attempt to install Docker EE 17.06.1, you will get an error that the container-selinux package cannot be found. {:.warning }

Uninstall old versions

Older versions of Docker were called docker or docker-engine. If these are installed, uninstall them, along with associated dependencies.

$ sudo yum remove docker \
                  docker-engine \
                  docker-engine-selinux

It's OK if yum reports that none of these packages are installed.

The contents of /var/lib/docker/, including images, containers, volumes, and networks, are preserved. The Docker EE package is now called docker-ee.
